Raccth Palgeist

Metamorphosis

**Raccth Palgeists** are a species from the Anvitic Nebula in the Black Eye Galaxy.

## Abilities

* **Draining Touch-** Raccth Palgeists can absorb and store the life force of other beings, draining them of their stamina, vitality, and strength via physical contact. They can even absorb mana from those that possess it in large amounts.
* **Energy Storage-** With the stored “energy” Raccth Palgeists can energize their own body causing their limbs to grow in size and increasing their strength. By growing their arm larger for example or if they where to be hit by an attack, they could energize their tail and ball themselves up in their own fur for protection. They can also use this stored energy to float, allowing them to limit their physical contact.
* **Enhanced Durability-** Raccth Palgeists are surprisingly durable for such a small creature not indestructible but can take a lot damage.
* **Space Survivability-** Raccth Palgeists can survive in the depths of space.
* **Metamorphosis-** Raccth Palgeists undergo physical changes if they absorb certain amounts of life force these amounts usually being half a planet and a whole planets worth of life force, unfortunately, this process also contaminates their DNA with that of all the beings who’s life force they absorb so these metamorphic stages.

## Weaknesses

* **Draining Limit-** Raccth Palgeists are unable to drain the life force of anything at the power level of Prypiatosian-A's or higher, due to their life force being too immense to safely drain.
* **Childish Personality-** Raccth Palgeists are naturally child-like and act innocent while they will also listen and take orders from anyone they views as their superior.
* **Paranoia-** Raccth Palgeists have the feeling that they are being watched and will be constantly be paranoid.
* **Size-** Raccth Palgeists' small size and low weight, allows others to easily throw them around.
* **Extensive Draining-** Their life force draining ability is dangerous, as it can not be turned off and causes those that are being drained to wither and decay, potentially destroying others if they stayed in physical contact for too long.

## Society and History

Raccth Palgeist originate from somewhere in the depths of the Anvitic Nebula. Despite an appearance some would call “cute”, these creatures are very dangerous. Similar to Ectonurites, Raccth Palgeists seem to not have “Mana”, which is likely a result of their origin point. Their lack of conventional mana seems to have lead them to gaining their draining abilities. They often leave their nebula home and drain the life force of others and although they usually do this with no malicious intent, this draining ability of theirs has a side effect on their biology and after enough life force is drained, they undergo a metamorphosis as the more they drain the more they change. After half a planets worth of drainage, they look like nightmarish versions of themselves and after a whole planet's worth, they became colossal beasts sprouting multiple limbs, tails, and many other possible traits. In this state, their personalities are so warped and twisted, they refer to themselves as “Raccth Genogeists” since to reach that state that would have to drain an entire planet to death, these beasts are nothing but twisted aberrations consumed by their own narcissism and greed.

According to the Raccths themselves they exist in several variants, each brought about by whatever dimension they call home and using their Nebula home, to travel to different planes. The Raccths are simply members of its species, that have gone “native” to this dimension. This information leads to the hypothesis that the Raccths, maybe some sort of genetic collector, venturing into different planes and collecting DNA before returning to their Nebula’s depths. Unfortunately, this may mean that within the Nebula’s depths, there is something that is receiving these collected DNA samples.

## Trivia

* There seems to be an ever-expanding amount of Subspecies of Raccths.
* Within their nebula home, Raccths are colloquially referred to as "Frenzy" with a group of them being "Frenzie".
