Delgonian

The Delgonians were a telepathic race native to the same system as the Velantians, a species they enslaved and fed on.

Description
Delgonians strongly resemble their dragon-like Velantian neighbors, with the only difference being their heads, which are simian rather than reptilian. Additionally, while normal Delgonians have wings, Delgonian Overlords do not.

Delgonian Overlords wield considerable psychic abilities. They use these to mentally enslave Velantians and lesser Delgonians, controlling their perceptions and actions and reading their minds at will. They can also psychically feed off the life force of dying organisms, preferably sentient psychic beings such as Velantians. The Delgonians feed on their victims by subjecting them to a slow and excruciating death by torture, extracting their lives as they slowly die.

Society
The Delgonian Overlords rule over Delgon with absolute, unchallenged authority. The remainder of the planet's population, meanwhile, are little more than mind-controlled chattel. The Overlords sometimes torture normal Delgonians for food, but prefer targeting Velantians for this purpose.
