MarrowGrub

MarrowGubs are viscous, carrion eating insects which infest the jungle floors of a far away, undeveloped planet. They are known to reduce a corpse to nothing within a day of death. There are cases of living creatures being infested with MarrowGub larva though ingesting tainted meat. Such cases are almost always fatal, as the first signs do not arrive until the creatures have already hatched and are busily eating their way through the host's digestive track.

Octosaurus Rex

The Octosaurus Rex is the third attempt by the Cristix corporation to enter the designer pet market. Hundreds of man-hours and hundreds of thousands of R&D dollars were spent in it's development. When it was finally unveiled there was immediate backlash from parent groups. No one seemed interested in purchasing what was obviously a dangerous animal as a pet. The few that were sold had a tendency to grow to out of control sizes - some 20 feet or more due to the dinosaur DNA. The Cristix Corporation never recovered from this debacle, and today exists solely as an online distributor of shovelware.

Lophamorite


Lophamorites are strange, amphibious mutants, the result of splicing primate and Anglerfish DNA. Specimens quickly escaped into the wild and began breeding out of control, however after an extensive culling operation they have settled into an ecological niche. The creatures organize themselves into troops like chimps or baboons, with an alpha male at the head. During the spawning season males will fight for dominance, oftentimes to the death. Spawning with produce an abnormal amount of pups, most of which will be picked off by predators or cannibalized by older Lophamorites, although every few seasons systematic culling is reinstated to keep the population down.

Gracilite


Gracilites are very lean, graceful creatures. They come from a planet with very low gravity, which allows for their unique skeletal structure. Gracilites are originally descended from grassland dwelling predators, and as such have developed a highly ritualized, warrior culture. They often volunteer themselves as mercenaries in conflicts off planet in search of glory and battle, but must wear elaborate custom made gravity harnesses on most other worlds.

Trandohsanite

Natives of the planet Trandoh. A mature adult grows between 4-6 feet tall. Trandohsanites do not posses a hard skeletal structure. Instead their rubber bodies are supported by an intricate network of interlocking tubules, which give them the ability to stretch their bodies in unnatural positions. They can thus squeeze through very small cracks or compact their bodies into tiny areas. Trandohsanites do not possess eyelids, and must keep their eyes constantly moist. For this reason when encountered off planet they will usually be seen wearing some sort of eye protection.

Octoparachix


The Octoparachix is the second attempt of the Cristix corporation to break into the genetically engineered designer pet market after the failed Dwurm debacle. DNA was taken from a chicken, parrot, and octopus. The resulting creature, dubbed "Octoparachix" was extremely dangerous, known to attack small children and eat other pets (cats, dogs, etc.) Some financial success was made selling the creature to security firms to be used as attack dogs.

Ksckongho the Undefeated

Ksckongho is a slave, forced to compete in the Intergalactic Gladiator Federation. Years ago Ksckongho made a living as a petty criminal enforcer for a small time gang. One day Ksckongho made a fatal mistake, and threw his weight around too much and fatally injured the son of an important government official. Armed soldiers broke into his living quarters and kidnapped him. Before he knew it, Ksckongho found himself physically altered beyond recognition and fighting for his life.

Instead of bemoaning his fate, Ksckongho swore revenge on those who "set him up." Each fighter is forced into 100 fights, and so far Ksckongho has emerged undefeated.
