The Tendrils are a parasitic species from the planetoid Ouroboros found in the Solar System.
Biology[]
The Tendrils are small spiny armored worms. They are very resilient creature, withstanding great pressure and capable of surviving in a vacuum. However they can be temporarily stunned when in contact with water. The parasites while worm-like can metamorphosize to develop four limbs for greater mobility. The Tendrils are capable of hibernating for long periods that their life-signs are undetectable to sensors.
The planetoid Ouroboros was apparently made of the creatures, in a hive-like community, that can disperse and reform. These creatures working together are able to swarm even in the void to attack. The Tendrils gain sustenance from heat which they use the energy to multiply and create mass.
According to the Aurelian databased accessed by humans, these creatures have been known to exist for a very long time, so long that their origins are lost. Their original name is roughly translated as as Demons. The general standing order when encountering these creatures is to avoid worlds that have these creatures at all cost, as they are responsible for many missing ships and colonies, fundamentally making them world killers. It also insinuated that the creatures were actually designed as a weapon.
