Death Flopper (Species)

The Death Flopper (Angelis Flopani) also known as Necroflop is a incredibly hardy, fast, and powerful species that lives on the same planet as the Flopspikes. The two species have been theorized to have been at war far longer then flopkind has ever existed. They inhabit many planets around the galaxy, including Mars.

== Biology ==
The Death Floppers are emaciated, vaguely humanoid creatures whose entire bodies are covered by many plates of chitinous armor. They appear to have arms with prehensile digits but are only ever observed using their limbs for locomotion.
Death Floppers hunt by sound, and are completely blind. They have sensitive plates and flops lining the front of their faces that can extend and contract to help them gauge direction of where sound is coming from. The back of their heads are capable of unfolding into a massive eardrum-like organ, further enhancing their hearing to detect even subtle changes in sound, but doing so also leaves the underside of the armor exposed, rendering them vulnerable.
Their armor is completely indestructible. The only time one was damaged was by the Floppus himself, who used one of his most powerful attacks to kill the Necrofloppix herself. The attack caused a microscopic tear in the armor of the Necrofloppix, proving their strength. 
=== Reproduction ===
Death Floppers reproduce in an extremely strange way. Black and purple energy will erupt from the side of a Necroflop, before taking the shape of a Death Flopper and eventually transforming into a fully grown Necroflop. This only takes a few seconds of time to complete. Once two are created, two become four, four become eight, and so on. 
== History ==
=== Discovery ===
In 2078, a Floppa Revenant Empire research ship came across a dead planet with ancient structures. The researchers entered this buildings and found large statues of Angelis Flopani with a language in an alien sentence below the statue. 
The sentence was translated and said the following:
"We are the (Untranslated). Beings of demise and (Unknown, presumed to be Flop or Flopper) have wiped us out. We have engineered a species that could kill them. We have scattered them across the (Unknown, presumably galaxy) to (Scratched out) these horrible beasts." 
The researchers set up a small base and began to extract mineral samples, the noise attracted the first seen Angelis Flopani. The creature ran at unapparelled speeds towards the group and destroyed the drill in one swipe. The research team fired at the creature but all bullets bounced off of it, even energy based weapons were ineffective. One of the researchers saw a Flopspike jump at the creature. The Death Flopper ended up winning the battle, and calling in more Death Floppers to assist it. 
The research team managed to exit the planet in the shuffle. 
=== Post-Discovery ===
The researchers contacted the FCP Foundation and Flobama Institute about this new species and how it likely destroyed a hyper-advanced alien species, which was now theorized to have created the Flopspikes to combat Angelis Flopani. 
The Flobama Institute and FCP Foundation finally announced to the public that hostile world ending alien species exist and that an alien species exists in the solar system (Flopbots on planet Floparp). The public's reception to the announcement was negative, now people were scared for their lives that one of these species could just land on the planet and destroy them, it was well-known far before this event that peaceful alien species existed but the FCP Foundation censored hostile species to prevent mass hysteria. 
=== Capturing of Angelis Flopani ===
In 2079, a year after the discover of Angelis, a group of research personnel aimed to capture a living specimen. 
The team consisted of:
* Two Amog-9 replicas
* 15 Men armed with tranquillizer weapons
* 4 Flobama Institute Researchers
* 2 Men armed with RPGs incase things get hairy
The group, known as Team Ouroboros began to search for an Angelis Flopani to capture. They managed to find one a few hours after searching. Reportedly, it was eating the corpse of a humanoid entity with black skin and insectoid chitin and a long head. This specimen was to be taken after capturing of the creature. One of the men reported seeing "its face opened up into like red fleshy stuff with two floppa ears". Suddenly, the creature attacked, it ran at speeds undocumented and slashed an Amog-9 in two. The men began firing but the creature continued to mutilated the team, the tranq darts were not penetrating its hard skin. One of the four Flobama Institute researchers threw a landmine under the creature, causing an explosion which flung it four meters into the air. The creature did managed to do acrobatics and land on its feet and continue its attack. One of the Amog-9 replicas made a noise to distract the creature and lead it into the cage. This was successful and the creature was transported to an undisclosed FCP site to be researched. 
=== Research of Angelis Flopani ===
It was discovered that Angelis Flopani is blind, and relies on hearing to sense prey. This is why it opened up its head, to hear. It was also discovered that its chitin is literally indestructible. Multiple tests to prove its agility proved that the creature sank in water, and simple walked on the bottom of the tank to the surface. The creature can jump fifty feet, climb completely vertically and run at 200 MPH. Angelis Flopani was discovered to be a lithovore, eating metal, wood, stone, and dirt. This diet likely strengthened its chitin. 
Since the creature was indestructible, it was placed at the bottom of the ocean and chained to the ground where it would stay to this very day.
