- Name: Raeloc
- Designation: Semi-sentient

- Average Lifespan: 200 years
- Estimated Population: Unique
- Description: Raeloc is a forcespawn. Similar to Sithspawn, she was created through the manipulation of the Force upon her body. Unlike most of her species, she possesses a constant blue glow emanating from her spine. She has a snout similar to a canines and possesses a long tail with a nasty barb on the end. Her bite is worse than her bark as she is relatively quiet. She is also considerably smaller than the Ice Dragons she was created of. She has blue-white skin and emerald eyes.
- Breathes: Type 1
- Average Height of Adults: 3m
- Average Length of Adults: 5m
- Skin color: Blue-white
- Hair color: Glowing blue and black on her snout.
- Distinctions: Raeloc is a dragon, albeit technically a drake as she does not possess wings and the ability to fly. She is long and somewhat tall, though not nearly the size of her Ice Dragon ancestors. Of note she has numerous sharp teeth and doesn't eat food in the way that ice dragons do. Part of the manipulation done to her was such that she gains all the energy she needs by absorbing light. She is extremely deadly and fiercely loyal. Her long tail is dangerous itself, as those who try to sneak up on her learn when the barb skewers or decapitated them.
Her most interesting feature, however, is the ability to entirely mold her body around someone. Much like the Yuuzhan Vong and their living weapons and armor, Raeloc is able to encompass her target in protective armor, and is able to detach her tail, which she can regrow over time (it takes several weeks), for the host to use as a weapon.

- Force Sensitivity: Force Dead
- Raeloc's skin is strong against both kinetic and energy-based attacks, including lightsaber strikes.
- She is fiercely loyal to her creator and companion and more than willing to die for him.
- She has very sharp teeth and a tail that can kill.
- She can mold her body around a target to act as armor.
- Raeloc is particularly prone to sonic attacks. They cause her much distress.
- If she is starved of natural light for too long she will go into a dormant state in which she will hibernate to conserve energy.
- She requires oxygen to breathe, so locations without Type 1 atmospheres are inaccessible to her (nobody makes a rebreather for dragons)
- Diet: She doesn't have a stomach, and absorbs natural light to give herself energy.
- Communication: She growls, mostly, but she can also utilize body language and speak through rippling light patterns in the hair along her spine.
- Technology level: N/A
- Religion/Beliefs: N/A
- General behavior: Raeloc is a generally docile creature despite her ability to cause harm. In some ways she is more dog than dragon as she follows Telos around like a guard dog and won't allow harm to come to him. Still, she is able to defend herself if need be, but she's more apt to be playful with someone and has an affinity for sniffing out the loneliest of children wherever they go and playing with them, including giving rides. If you are kind to Telos she will generally treat you with the greatest of affection, but if you intend him harm she will attempt to tear you limb from limb unless Telos asks her to stop.
Raeloc was the intended off-spring of an ice dragon that was killed by another ice dragon. Telos only found her through luck, or the guidance of the Force for those who believe in it. After everything that had happened amongst his people, he had been lost. He wanted to do something more, but somehow he ended up on a world that had been touched by the Yuuzhan Vong, and began to study them and their ways. The particular tribe that inhabited the world was friendly towards him, likely in part due to his scarring or because of his warrior nature. He was particularly interested in their shaping process and how they used it as a means of creating creatures that could be used as hand-held weapons or worn as armor. Creatures that could modify their body at command, such as Amphistaff's, were of most interest to him.
But he wasn't studying it because he wished to learn to use their creatures himself. More he was studying it to learn how it was done and figure out a way to apply it for himself through the Force. He knew about Sithspawn, all of those like him did, but this was something less evil and something more pure to its own nature. He wanted something that would do what he asked of it, but wouldn't be prone to running off and slaughtering at a whim. He was interested in making a pure weapon, he wanted a companion.
The ice dragons of Toloran had interested him. They'd been featured in a story his mother used to tell him before she died. Having this little bit of history to dwell on was important to him. It gave him shelter when he felt most vulnerable. He'd gone to Toloran to seek out the Ice Dragons for himself, intent on trying to capture one. Instead, he found a recently killed one and recognized the baby it carried inside of it was still alive thanks to his own connection to the Force. A full-grown dragon would perhaps have been more immediately useful, but the unborn could be molded and shaped without ever knowing anything else. Its nature could be more compatible with his own than was the case with the violence projected by the species of which it was made.
He laid his hands upon the dead beast and reached through it to the unborn babe which slumbered inside of it. The Force reacted to his command and he willed the blood left in the body of the mother to proceed to that of the child, using it and the stem cells within to alter and shape the child in a way that he felt was best. His intention was simple: to create a creature more like the amphistaff, one that could retain its normal functions most of the time, but because a weapon and armor for him when it was needed. He would not make it carnivorous like the dragons it was born of because he did not want it to eat people, so he used the light to bleed into the body of the beast and feed it, unwittingly severing the creatures own connection to the Force in the process. He feared the worst when he lost the ability to sense it.
Drawing his vibro-knife, he cut into the body of the mother, and birthed the child, bringing forth something which barely resembled its mother, but was clearly alive. Relief had flooded him, but it was only for a short time as the babe staggered to its feet and slid around, its eyes falling upon him. The creature was somewhat intelligent, clearly, as its eyes showed a sense of recognition and it made its way to him, despite the blade he held, and nuzzled against him. Through the Force, he could feel nothing of her, but it was easy to tell that she recognized their bond, forged through his own use of the Force.
They have been together ever since.
