Amphibious Rock Climber Bioluminescent Alien Hardened War-ter Criminal Behavior : As the name suggests this is an enormous sea star with nine arms. They are comparable in size to a trike and easily can be ridden with a proper saddle. It is extremely curious using its nine arms to experience the world around them due to their eyes not being like ours. A moderate temperament the Sea-Star becomes aggressive when provoked or when it senses its favorite snack nameless venom. Once provoked it rears back displaying its rows of tube feet along each arm. These harden from their usual suction cup like appearance and become hard as steel. It’s alien like movements leave predators and attackers stunned as to what is happening before them giving openings to escape or strike first. Common creatures that feast on them are sarcos, karkinos, and if they can get the jump on them reapers. Taming : Sea-Stars are extremely graceful in the water but awkward messes on land. With out a proper access to hydration they dry out much like their real life counter parts. They seem to be able to be tamed if you can lure them out of the water and dry them out before refreshing them with water from a canteen or water skin. If a survivor can entice them with nameless venom or raw meat into a trap before they dry out it might make taming a lot easier and protect them from their chief predators Reapers Sarcos and Karkinos. Wild accessible to new survivors, veterans will find taming these an easier task with better access to canteens and tek canteens. Utility : Sea-Stars are bioluminescent and live a semi-amphibious life style. While graceful and alien like underwater they have a slow waddle on land. It can use its suction tubes on its arms to grip prey smaller than itself drawing them in to its mouth concealed on its underside. It’s suction cup tubes are its most versatile feature, they even go so far as being able to scale vertical walls to increase mobility. But beware being attacked while scaling walls. They cannot use the suction and properly defend themselves as their tubes must harden in order to deal damage. They are amazing at harvesting nameless venom and seem to drawn more out of them than other creatures. They also have the strange ability to detach one of their arms in an attempt to escape attacks. Having nine arms has its benefits and these guys can lose up to 5 of these arms at will distracting the would be attack long enough for them to vanish. Sadly this also slows down an already slow movement speed which can be deadly but especially on land for these guys. They grow back over time but it’s not the fastest process and takes a minute or two to gain all 5 again. Dossier : Wild : The Nine Armed Sea-Star is a magnificent creature to view in its natural habitat. Extremely graceful and alien like under water they ebb and flow through the waves of oceans and lakes and mesmerize prey with them bioluminescence and ballet like movements. Although rare they will venture on dry land if they sense an easy meal such as their favorite nameless and their ultra rare venom. Due to their awkward gait while walking they must ambush to do this and an unaware survivor can easily be mistaken for dinner when caring something it wants. Their tube like appendages can go from their sticky suction cups to sharp talons and back at will and make short work of any unsuspecting prey. Domesticated : A tamed Sea-Star can make a handy companion to any survivor able to make them an ally. Underwater they move with a surprising quickness and can evade even the deadliest predator with ease. New survivors may be especially keen to tame one as they have a fantastic ability to climb vertical walls and project a beauty light to ward of creatures of the dark. While they are prone to drying out in the fresh air of land I suspect they can be kept hydrated with a proper saddle. Their discarded legs that grow back after some time would make an excellent basis for the frame work as the hardened bone like limbs are impossible to break. With a little metal and a canteen of water the saddle may keep them hydrated long enough to traverse the abberation zones with little worry of drying out.
