Daemon (Coraabia)

Daemons are living plastic constructs of the Mass Xa from itself, who exist primarily to defend itself from prospectors.

Biology
Daemons do not have universal anatomical traits, aside from an animalistic appearance and significant amounts of xa in their body. Everything else, from chemical base to bodily structure is highly variable. The most common abilities of daemons are telekinetic control over xa, creation of and resistance to extremes of heat, and telepathic communication.

Society
Daemons almost do not have a society, but many of them have exerted authority over others. In all cases, the daemons are subservient to Xa. Daemons are in perpetual war with xa miners and all other beings.

History
Daemons were initially seen as a curious consequence of Xa's existence until the daemon Hwarang revealed to Grannokians that the Xa was an intelligent creature. However, the substance was too important to Grannok's economy to cease mining. Consequentially, Xa decided to enter perpetual war with the rest of life.

Scientists struggled to properly classify Daemons, initially settling on them being a form of Unliving, which was very politically unpopular. The second choice was the creation of the "poly-entity" category just for them.
