Alien Species

Piranhatrons are humanoid foot soldiers of a space pirate named Divatox.

Biology[]

Piranhatrons are humanoids with an overall Human-like body, although they have a greenish-bronze skin tone. Notably, their heads have an ichthyoid appearance, with puckered fish-like lips. Most of their appearance is hidden under armored suits, although if the suits reflect their body, their heads have large eyes, a unibrow-like bulge, and frill-like structures on the sides of their heads. They appear incapable of Human-like speech, only making strange garbled noises, akin to Putty Patrollers.

Culture and society[]

Piranhatrons serve as soldiers and enforcers for space pirates, such as Divatox, either making up entire attack forces or supporting a much stronger alien monster. In combat, they utilize their fists, hammers, spears, and wrist-mounted energy guns. While capable of understanding English, the Piranhatron language consists of garbled, incomprehensible noises. Piranhatron soldiers wear dull bronze armor, with a notable helmet that gives them an even more ichthyoid appearance, with two frills on its sides.
