COLD❄BLOOD/Profiles/Species

__NOTOC__
Here are some of the several specimens that are present in COLD❄BLOOD, each accompanied by a very short bio and a description of what they do. Machines may be listed here. All artwork is by Exotoro.
Humans 	
Humans are the main species present on Satellite 15, having once reigned Earth as its one and only species capable of destroying the goddamn planet while simultaneously being its most advanced and sophisticated lifeform. They survived the crisis that would eventually befall their home planet, and now live inside colonies spread out through the middle of space. They are responsible for the colonization and urbanization of outer space, especially after having gotten their hands on a customizable alien vaccine template that could morph, change, add, or remove DNA from any specific being. Normal humans are a dying race; numerous subspecies of humans are now multiplying across the Zaxiverse. Having cat ears, sheep wool, or even a mouth full of shark's teeth no longer appears to be a dream. You can even become a furry (I can't believe I'm saying that...) or strip yourself of all human parts, becoming an animal or at least something close. Now that humans are growing more comfortable with their success across the cosmos, a question remains: can they come back home and reverse the damages?
The human shown in our example is General Scotch.
Rollies 	
This beast, one of thousands, is a member of a legion in Kýrios' army. Though Satellite 15 is relatively peaceful when compared to other satellites in the galaxy, it still sees its fair share of bloodshed and warfare, and these bugs are deployed as a class-one security blanket to defend Satellite 15. If they are defeated, then the reins to success are passed onto the Vinegar Troops, an intelligent legion handled by General Scotch. They roll around at lightning speeds like impossibly quick blue hedgehogs and can bounce around if necessary. If they come up close to an enemy, they will grab them by the neck and suplex them into the floor, draining them of any life force as they go. They are weak in the belly.
Bullies 	
This other beast is also a member of Kýrios' army, joined by thousands of identical lookalikes. They're classified as class-one troops, just like the roller bugs associated with Kýrios, but their style of fighting is very different. They move sluggishly and don't tread much ground in a half-hour's notice, but don't underestimate their capabilities. They are capable of pitching Kýrios' other soldiers like they were baseballs, and if someone were to come in close quarters with them, they'd lock that person in their arms and then chew off their head. If faced with too many enemies surrounding its strong and very bulkybody, it can slash all of them away with its large, sharp claws.
Spoldiers 	
One of the many specimens of this creature was stolen and taken from Kýrios' home planet, made to rapidly reproduce and supply the satellite with an interior defense system. They pose as normal mushrooms, but if someone they don't recognize or don't like is intruding on their turf, they will very quickly give chase and bite down on that person's leg. The victim's body will then become overwhelmed with a drug that sends them into a deep sleep, poisoning them if they know that person and find them to be very unlikeable. They're found in the administrative sector of the satellite, but exist in groups around New Naxaz City. This creature's innards have been studied extensively by scientists; the drug that sends victims immediately into a deep sleep can be legally bought at local pharmacies, without the poison-inducing side effect.
Pumpkids 	
These creatures are considered disposable pawns by the satellite authorities, and serve as the weakest members of the satellite defense system. They are rather limited in their uses, as they can only absorb up to one command and they will die as soon as they manage to carry it out. They're like ticking time bombs; once they figured out their target, they will rest near them before violent exploding, scathing the target and blasting through weak metal. However, if their seeds manage to fall upon fertile soil, they will quickly regrow within minutes with numerous copies of itself, useful even though they'll only have a single seed each. Though they can be defeated just by stomping on them, they can appear in swarms and climb around any surface, doing whatever it takes to reach their target and then explode. They're bred by Syinara Wyne. There's a pink breed that she raises too; this type is non-combustible and members of this breed can be kept as friendly pets.
Gorms 	
This creature's heavy body is so durable and sharp that it can rip up steel. It can also produce steel by converting organic material into such within its metallic stomach. It lurks within the sewer systems of the satellite and travels along air ducts and other passages. Should it ever detect an abnormality, it will let out a bloodcurdling scream as it immediately begins to drill through the steel walls, breaking through and attacking whatever appears to be troubling it. After the case has been resolved, it will head back, no matter how far it's gone, to repair the hole it's made if it hasn't already been fixed. This beast can also be seen traveling through dirt, particularly around gardens where it leaves its droppings in organized piles as fertilizer for crops and plants.
Spidoors 	
Kýrios brought to Satellite 15 one of the most disturbing species from his planet yet... these horrifying, spiderweb-like creatures with four huge legs. They get around primarily by quickly scuttling to their sides, incapable of moving forwards and thus being left to turn around via balancing themselves on just one toe. If left in empty vertical places (most notably, elevator shafts or alleyways), they will use their legs to quickly crawl up the walls, or turn its face upward as its legs remain attached to the walls, ready to eat whatever falls. They are too ineffective at hunting because of their inability to move forwards, so they like to wait in dark places. If they detect vibrations on their web-like exterior, their long tongue will zip that prey right in their mouths. Kýrios has some of these creatures living as his pets in the admin sector; they serve as gatekeepers in a way and only let people come by if they do a quick, but very special dance for them- that's how they know who to trust. If you attempt to move by them, they will snarl as a warning. If you mess up again, you're their next meal.
Diamond Drillers	
With its diamond-cutting limbs, this beast can navigate the steel tunnels of Satellite 15 at alarming speeds. Its cryogenic energy periodically leaks out from its blade-like legs, filling the holes it leaves in the tunnel floors. They can use their icy breath to freeze over bodies of water, freeze enemies in place, and create (although very unstable) bridges and platforms. They're perfect for deconstruction work, which is what they're bred over and over for, and occasionally work with the X-Terminator to achieve their purpose. However, their quick temper and lack of moral concepts make them particularly dangerous to cross paths with, and some of them run rogue because they rarely care about who they work for. It's thus advised to stay as far away as possible from them if you have no affiliation with them.
Cleaners 	
Popularly known by the public as Cleaners, these creatures roam around the satellite slowly and have little purpose besides eating up garbage and recyclable material. The large mass of coconut-like spheres on its head are capable of sprouting out squiggly and sticky arms from their eyes, which are used to pick up several pounds of trash and shove it into its two mouths (top for recycling, bottom for garbage). It sprays high-pressure jets of water from its mouths to clean human/animal waste off of whatever it's about to eat, leaving tons of it behind so it can be picked up and reused as fertilizer. They make their home at recycling and trash disposal sites, releasing the correct trash from its mouth before falling asleep. Though it has no frontal vision, it is guided by smell, and the masks on the sides of its body hide faces that scan the sides of the creature for the food it needs.
Poninks 	
These creatures are exclusively bred in the admin chamber, overseen by Zodiez and some of her children. They serve as steeds for Kýrios, Zodiez, and their associates, and are capable of moving at immeasurable speeds whether running or flying. You can tell these creatures apart from any other by looking at the blue flames clashing against their inky black skin, as well as the lack of skin present on their naked skulls. Unlike the satellite's typical flying pods, these creatures have offensive utility; they can blast fireballs from the depths of their throats and pin down any body with their high mass. They live off of bugs, worms, parasites, and can break up and destroy bacteria, meaning their bodies are clean and impossible to make hosts out of. There is a lesser breed that's also black but with green flames and smaller bodies, which aren't as impressive skill-wise but are trusted to be kept and used by the authorities. Unlike most humans aboard the satellite, they can breathe in space; scientifically the reason is unclear but they can continue chases outside the satellite.
Starkissers 	
If you think about it, there's no such thing as true immortality in the Zaxiverse. Every creature or person that's close to immortal always has an Achille's heel that can be exploited against them. However, these strange creatures are the single exception to the rule: no matter what you do, no matter what you dream, no matter what you wish, you cannot remove any of these strange star-headed creatures, of which there exist a baker's dozen. It's not like their presence automatically means bad luck or misfortune, it's actually rather the opposite. These creatures all sit together around a black shrine somewhere out in the middle of the Zaxiverse, every waking second spent with someone of emptied ambition or motivation. Let's say you felt like laying on the floor because you just don't know what else to do with your life... one of these creatures has a chance of suddenly whisking into your living space, leaning over you with their dreadful smiles. The closer you feel to the end, the closer they will be to you. Though likely to permanently scar anyone that's easy to frighten, they're there to grant your wish to have your pain and suffering find disclosure, and it will never hurt you as bad again.
