Conductoid

Conductoids are a species from the planet Teslavorr.

Appearance
Conductoids have black skin. They have one eye in the middle of their head. They have two antennae and a tail that looks like plugs on the end that allows them to draw energy to themselves like how a plug plugs in electricity through the tips. They have four fingers on each hand with similar plugs on the tip of each finger that can help them absorb energy.

Behavior
Conductoids are not social beings. Males of the species are negatively charged, while females are positively charged. If too many male occupy the same area for an extended period of time, the resulting arc could destroy them all. The same holds true for females. Because the consequences of social groups are so potentially devastating, Conductoids tend to be solitary creatures.

Conductoids easily travel through Teslavorr, using minute voltage differences between to propel themselves.

Diet
Conductoids feed on eddies and currents of higher-energy particles near protostars.

Powers and Abilities
Conductoids have the ability to absorb and redirect energy (electrical so far) from their antennae, tail, and fingers.

Conductoids can use electrokinesis to jump over long distances, and fire energy toward the ground in order to fly or move with great speeds on a current carrying path.

Trivia

 * Some believe that Conductoids may be crucial to stellar formation, although that theory has yet to be proven.
