Teriads

Teriads are engineered insectoid bioweapons that can absorb electronics and any machine that uses electronics. Teriads come from a time where they were once at war with an ancient civilization of humans. Said humans were prolific with their use of electronics, so much so that the presence of Teriads threatened their very existence. Humans attempted to nuke Teriads off the planet, and while the humans believed they succeeded, the Teriads became elusive and went into hiding. As the Teriads hid they survived the fall of humanity, but they were crippled by both the onset radiation and their low numbers. The radiation changed Teriads greatly and their ability to absorb technology was greatly hindered. The radiation also caused Teriads to lose their eusocial coordination, many becoming feral and self serving.
Teriads come in all shape and sizes as their form contorts to suit the technology they absorb. The more tech a Teriad absorbs the more unrecognizable they become from their base forms. Teriads who haven't absorbed a lot of technology share a similar body structure to the T'lc-Kha, which are a species descendant of the Teriads. The base body structure consists of a body separated into three segments, with four legs attached to the abdomen, a thorax with four limbs attached to it and a wasp like head. The absorption of tech can lead to the loss or addition of limbs or body segments.
