Peacock Pursuers

Peacock Pursuers are a species of predatorial space aliens that first appeared in the book The Autistic Hero 2: Worlds Clashing. They are known for hitching rides on asteroids and going to inhabitable planets to feast on whatever they can. in the book, 5 of these individuals crashed onto earth after the invasion of the Lothepians and they had hitched a ride. they were successfully subdued and killed off by Tolup the Morph Slime after he had absorbed a piece of alien Energy Blaster machines and took them down. These aliens did drop an egg and the egg was successfully raised by Ahiko Maverick as she didn't like the idea of it being orphaned too much.

## Xenobiology

the Peacock pursuers are rather slim aliens reaching heights of 3.9 meters tall and around 7 meters long being shaped like some kind of thin reptilian. They have onyx black scaly skin which is able to absorb heat so they can keep warm in the cold of space. They are also sexually dimorphic. the females have a grey mane over their bodies and the males have feathers on the back of their neck like a peacock which are used for attracting and intimidation. The creature's face is similar to that of a Baryonyx with the addition of red infrared seeing eyes and 2 sets of saber fangs hanging from the front of its mouth to the middle of its mouth that hang below the bottom jaw. The creature however does have one interesting other feature and that is the fact its feathers which gave it its Peacock Pursuer name actually are not just for attracting females but also are used for Hypnotizing prey. the Hypnosis they use is actually Suggestive Hypnosis cranked up to its max. When faced with prey It will spread these feathers and the eye patterns begin to change colors with thousands of pygmintation colors similar to cuttlefish skin and that makes the prey not only mesmerized but also makes them more suceptible to Manipulation. Once hypnotized the Peacock Pursuer will either make its victim freeze with a Swirly pattern or come towards it with a distancing pattern so it can drill its teeth into them. This however cannot work against prey with a strong mind. The jaws of this alien are designed by some kind of twisted evolution to also have Poison similar to Compsognathus from jurassic park and also are able to chew through bone to get the rich marrow.

It is unknown what planet these aliens come from but some think it is from Hostile-21 due to its hyper aggressive nature but there is no evidence so far to back this theory up.

## Abilities

Insane Speed: the Peacock Pursuers body structure is slim and thin as well as their bones are very thin but this allows them to break into incredible speed in an instant. Sometimes they clock into speeds of nearly 450 miles per hour.

Threatening Display: The Peacock Pursuer males have special feathers on their neck similar in shape to the Bird of Paradise male's feathers and these have the texture and abilities as eyes allowing them to become a sudden angry expression. The eyes are suspiciously designed to be able to drive the human's adrenaline levels to their max and allow them disadvantages such as tripping and also fumbling.

Hypnosis: The Peacock Pursuers can hypnotize their prey with special eye textures on their feathers which have an anomalous ability to change pygmentation in an instant and make it look like its moving like images on a TV which some patterns make the prey either stop entirely or even walk closer.

Solar Energy Absorb: the feathers on both the sexes are able to absorb solar energy into their systems to make them stronger and make them also have a chance to learn magic if it is a magic star.

Icicle Trap: One of the most common Magical abilities that the Peacock Pursuers can use is this one were they will surround their prey with icicles they can command to even make a cage around them and make essentially a death trap. The Icicles are shaped like a javelin so the impact is pretty brutal.

Frightful Illusion: The other more common ability they learn from their Solar Energy Absorb is the ability to create clones of itself similar to Naruto Shadow Clones only these are only seen by its preferred prey. They will first let out an Infrasonic Frequency which is enough to make the prey's brain imagine there to be multiple as it shakes the nerves connecting the eyes. These Illusions however do not work if the prey has either a Psychic Brain or is deaf.

## Trivia

The Peacock Pursuers abilities and biology are based off both The animals off of James Cameron's avatar and also are based off the concept of horror monsters psychologically damaging their preferred food.
