Background

When the Eldest came and finely crafted an uncountable number of Planets out of the raw, chaotic energies of the Cosmos, some of its influence remained within the deep earth of a few planets one of which is Auria. This unclean force of the Cosmos would bear a monstrous genus known as the Primex which some would confuse as Demons. Though they are most certainly born from the energies of the Cosmos, the Primex do not share their desires of destroying their home planets as that would mean destroying themselves in the process and instead the Primex simply seek to take conquest over the planet and do whatever it takes to guarantee their survival. They have built massive hives under the crust of the planet where no Mortal has ever gone without the aid or influence of the Primex.

The Primex were first discovered 2800 years ago when the increasing presence of Magic drew some of them above ground, unleashing the untamed wrath of the Primex upon the world. To this day the Primex reproduce deep underground and occasionally assault the world above with surprising amount of intellect with small hives growing out of the earth serving as outposts for the Primex.

Description

Primex is but a genus from which many different species have emerged from with many more to come. Commonly they all have purplish, reddish or bluish carapace covering their softer innards. They resemble a cross between insectoids and mammals. They live in hive clusters deep underground in a social structure similar to a pack with a singular Pack Lord leading them. All Primex are birthed from eggs laid by Primex Queens with the species being dictated by whatever the pack needs to survive. Primex are omnivores though they largely prefer to feast upon meat for sustenance. Feating upon plants and meat provide Primex with a genetic information called Essence which they use to evolve themselves as a species.

Primex Pack Lords do not have a distinct species or appearance, rather they have size. When a Pack is formed or loses its previous Pack Lord, their greatest capable fighter is picked as the new one and fed dozens of unwanted Primex or other living organisms to elevate their strength and capabilities of being a leader.

All Primex are capable of speaking though this skill is usually reserved to Packlords and Queens.






Primex Breeds

Ravager.jpg

Queen
Among the Primex, the Queens are few in number and possess high intelligence. They are also large, standing at 250cm-400cm tall and 270cm-500cm in length. They serve to carry the eggs of a Packlord as well as protecting their off-spring from potential dangers.

Ravager
Ravagers are small four-legged Primex that reach around a meter in length. They hunt and attack in large packs that seek to overwhelm their foes. They have long spikes coming out their shoulder plates that serve as extra weapons during combat and wings that help them with leaping great distances.

Lurker
Lurkers are naga-like Primex that slither with an upright posture reaching 200cm-300cm tall when young but able to grow as tall as 1000cm, becoming tall, towering brutes. They have winged arms (though they cannot fly) that can be used for cleaving melee attacks but their prominent style of attack is spitting acid and shooting armor-piercing barbs at their enemies. Some Lurkers evolve their barbs to be poisonous too.

Slayer
Slayers are bipedal, almost humanoid-like Primex with four arms, two large and two small. They have long spiked tails and large clawed feet. They possess long tongues used to sticking to prey and dragging them into their toothy maws.
