THE UNDEFEATED
The Vo'uldesh
[Artstation - Giant Flower Leech by Jinha Kwon]

OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Draeyde
GENERAL INFORMATION
- Pack Animals: It's best to keep a distance, the Vo'uldesh solely act on instinct and cannot typically differentiate friend from foe, and nest in the hundreds. However they won't chase you or anything like that.
- Poisonous Ink: The Vo'uldesh produce a thick poisonous and acidic ink that is incredibly dangerous to humanoids. It can erode equipment, choke and poison. However, the ink has a much higher density than air and thus stays close to the ground. However, the ink does make particular areas of Sraeljoarsk simply a no-go zone for any form of life.
-Scare Tactics: The Vo'uldesh produce two types of ink, toxic and unrefined. The toxic ink is the thicker ink that pollutes the grounds in which they nest. The Vo'uldesh also produce a type of vapour which carries similar qualities to their ink. They shoot it at high velocity to try and scare away threats. This ink also floats high into the sky typically before evaporating hours later.
-Adaptable: These creatures are adaptable, and can breath and consume any kind of air variation.
- Soft Skin: While large, the Vo'uldesh have slimey sleek skin that is very vulnerable to all types of weaponry.
- Inflammatory: Their toxic ink is inflammatory, which can be easily turned against them.
-Specific Conditions: There is a reason these creatures are not wide spread, and it is because they require certain hive-like conditions to thrive. Otherwise, they would slowly die off.
CULTURE
Going by recent research, based on their nesting areas and diet; it is believed that these creatures had possibly amphibious origins. However, how they developed the ability to create the toxic ink is difficult for researchers to explain. The Vo'uldesh are an extremely strange form of life, however this appears quite common on Sraeljoarsk. A lot of the creatures that live there appear to exist as some form of strange and strewn life. Anomalies.
Scientists reckon that the planet's evolutionary cycles were interfered with many hundreds of thousands of years ago, however to what purpose they cannot possibly begin to know. It's possible that Sraeljoarsk was a testing ground for a sort of bioweapon, the Vo'uldesh serving as the catalysts and their victim happening to be the original native Elemeantas of the planet.
However whatever goal was attempted to be reached here was clearly left unfinished. There are no other records of this kind of exotic lifeform or its toxic inks recorded in the rest of the known Galaxy. However, considering this planet is located in wild space. It's highly likely whatever heinous crime the ink was intended for never reached the known Galaxy.

CULTURE
- Diet: Soil nutrients, mycobacteria, ect
- Communication: There is no clear form of communication for these animals, it is possible they have a low level telepathic symbiotic relationship with each other.
- Technology level: N/A
- Religion/Beliefs: N/A
- General behavior: These creatures are inherently offensive. Your perspective of them prescribed by their toxicity would be accurate, these creatures eat and feast on whatever they can find. Their general behaviour is passive and uninterested unless you get too close. The only noticeable interesting behaviour is their relationship with the other native species of the planet. In particular the Draeyde, and how they protect their breeding grounds to avoid being eaten. However, this is also just another example of the animal kingdom at play.
