Mähdrescher

**Mähdreschers** (Evalkan for Harvester) are a race of highly intelligent and technologically advanced extraterrestrial hive-mind beings. They are a global threat that seeks to harvest and destroy planets in order to refuel their ships, grow, and perfect their technology at the expense of annihilating indigenous races. Zekyan Parnassus is their home planet.

Not to mention, they also appear to be against the Saxaan Empire, which they despise the Darklord himself. They also have scouted Earth for a millennia, but chose not to invade due to the humans' primitive technologies and space traveling capability. According to some archives, they cannot win a war against Dravin O7B and Halverian Prime no matter!

This may also infer that they fear Nexus Prime, the Republic's most powerful terra planet ever.

## Physiology

Physically, the Mähdreschers are as frail as a mere humanoid baby, having similar tolerances to environmental conditions as humans/humanoids and capable of breathing oxygen. However, they are much more slender in appearance than humanoids, with a quasi-humanoid body without their bio-suit. Somewhat shorter than humans, Mähdreschers are small, bluish-grey creatures, standing between 3 to 4 feet. They have two long arms and feet each with two digits. The rear section of their head is enlarged, and their face sported two large pupil-less reflected eyes; Which obviously points out as a weakness in a fight. Even a normal human bodybuilder can kill an unarmored Mähdrescher with a very few punches, kicks or throws

Lacking vocal cords, Harvesters communicate by using a sophisticated form of telepathy which could be use to exert mind control to "possess" other beings, or at least partially; by attaching tentacles from their bio-suit to the victim's necks and using their vocal cords to communicate their words with a non-telepathic species. Despite this, they can still be heard uttering bestial roars, growls and groaning.

In some cases, the Harvesters are also shown to be capable of projecting their thoughts into another life form's mind in the form of visions, and killing or injuring other lifeforms with their telepathy. . A neural connection with the Harvesters, presumably can be made through physical contact with an alien, or by suffering its own telepathic assaults. Some encounters result in lengthy comas, while others can pass briefly, leaving the host with a permanent connection to the alien hive mind. The hive mind seems to be activated when in close enough proximity to approaching alien entities, or if a telepathic pulse is being dispersed throughout the collective horde. Alien messages and specific dialogue can also be broadcast and intercepted through this connection. Despite this, humanoids with a connection to the hive mind cannot communicate back with telepathy because they do not have extra-sensory perception.

### Abilities

* **Enhanced Strength**: Due to their naturally frail physiology, the Mähdreschers enhance themselves by wearing large, armoured exoskeletal biological suits that significantly enhance their strength and make them extremely dangerous in a physical confrontation. This allows them to press a weight of 800-1800 pounds and deliver 700-pound strikes from the exoskeletal limbs

* **Telepathy**: Their exoskeletal suits are equipped with bionic arms and legs, as well as a series of tentacles that are not only effective in combat, but also allow the aliens to take over the minds of their victims and speak for them to gather necessary information.

* **Superhuman Speed**: They are ridiculously fast in terms of movement speed; Yet they cannot run away from gunfire.

#### Weaknesses

* **Solid Projectile weapons**: Solid projectile shot from bows and firearms can easily pierce their natural body, in fact a .22 caliber is already extremely lethal to them.

* **Ludicrous Marksmanship**: They are very bad in terms of marksmanship, due to their heavy usage of using plasma weaponry, which further detriments their marksmanship overall.

* **Large Eyes**: Their eyes are so huge that they are extremely fragile can easily blind them to attack; Or even permanently blind them with a flash bang grenade.
