Dire Wraith

The Dire Wraith are an evolutionary offshoot of the Skrulls from the Andromeda Galaxy.

Biology
Dire Wraiths were originally depicted as amorphous, cloudy, vaguely humanoid-shaped beings. It was eventually revealed that this form was a transitional form used for shapeshifting. As such, their true form is entirely different.

Wraiths are red-skinned aliens with reptilian and mammalian traits such as small beaks, "hands" resembling small pincers and tentacles, clawed feet, thick tails, and long drill-like tongues.

Reproduction
Females Dire Wraths can lay eggs and lactate.

Ecology
Dire Wraths use their tongues to suck out the brains of their victims.

Powers and abilities
Like Skrulls, Dire Wraiths are shapeshifters, able to take the forms of other creatures.

History
Dire Wraiths are Skrullian Deviants engineered by the Celestials.
