Oceanic Beast

The **Oceanic Beast** are an alien aquatic-based creatures, they are a living disaster that plagues Pangeus Prime for years. No known role about them in Vigilance Chronicles yet.

## Origin

The Oceanic Beasts suddenly emerges from the depth of the ocean without any warning, they renders all beach and shore location deemed as a dangerous area, leaving alone the open ocean.

However, not much are known about them as the humanity tried to suppress the news regarding this mysterious creatures from spreading.

Unfortunately, humanity aren't the only one suffered from the Oceanic Beasts, as the Vulpina lost their main settlement, Utopa City, to their assault within a year after their first emerges.

## Overview

Oceanic Beasts has very fast reproduce and growth rate which helps them spread their population, it is unknown how the beasts reproduce but assumed to be cell dividing method.

The Oceanic Beasts operates via hivemind-like network communication, this also helps them to be able to evolves into any type of existing Oceanic Beasts in their 'memory', their network also helps them coordinate their assault, which proves lethal.

Most of Oceanic Beast are clad in a mysterious carapace known simply as Escanium Plate on some of their parts, some are almost entirely encased in the Escanium Plate armor while some only covers certain part of their body.

Oceanic Beast can also evolve into new unknown type given time, as they adapt to local environment their cell can mutates into entirely new entity, which eventually gets recorded into their network, becomes the new asset in their rank.

Despite appeared to be feral, it is merely a deceive. Oceanic Beasts are highly intelligent creature and are not to be underestimate as for this very reason Vulpina are defeated by them.

Oceanic Beast's blood are also infectious, while their attack are proved to be unable to transmit the infection, exposure to their blood via wounds, or any way that their blood can enter one's body, are deemed to be infected by the beast, hence the plague.

They have high cell regeneration rate which makes them easily heals their wounds and also grants them high pain tolerance and endurance. Despite that, they can be killed as long as the damage upon them are too much for their regeneration to make up for.

Some type of Oceanic Beast has far higher authority in their hivemind network which dubbed **Overseer-Type** oceanic beast, these oceanic beast act as commander/general of oceanic beast and has the power to command other oceanic beasts, they tend to have unique abilities that no other oceanic beast possess.

Some oceanic beast is also not a part of the network, this prevents them to gain the mental information from the network as well as heavily hold back their evolution process, most beast that cut off from the network tend to be more inactive and docile. The traitorous oceanic beast will also forcefully disconnected from the network by the Overseer-Type.
