Space Oddities

Space Oddities, also known as Monsters, are rare events that happen from time to time. They may be strange space monsters out for a snack, or just some natural phenomenon. Naturally, there can only be one active at any point in time, but ignored if the Oddity is spawned using Sandbox Mode or by accepting some quest gift.

Flying squid things. They are made up of the main body and two tentacles. They are very similar to carriers in that they carry Swarmlings.

Each segment has a kinetic missile with light damage. Spawns randomly on the rim of the galaxy. Two dragons with the same name wont attack each other. Splitting a Dragon in half will create a new Dragon from the severed section, dragons turn darker after splitting ten times and cannot split again after that.

## Eater of Stars

Some kind of god jellyfish. It is completely invincible and it doesn't attack. They float around the galaxy marking 5 stars, and when they are done those stars, and some stars around them (much larger AOE than meteor), blow up. Always starts in the middle.
