Description
Alien Origins. The Char'Kallu originally came into the multiverse from an asteroid that came through a failed portal experiment. Where it exactly came from is yet to be determined, but experts know it is dangerous, intelligent and unpredictable. In experiments it has been shown to be violent, and trying to murder everything living around. It has been observed ripping up plants, killing rodents and small animals, and other biotic things. It has also been observed to try and move through vents, air ducts and anything small to get to researchers and kill them.
Volatile Nature. Due to its unknown nature, this creature does not follow many laws of physics, scientific and magical. Once it is slaughtered, its effects are quite spontaneous, which can range from exploding, conjuring up livestock, goblins, and magic weapons, or creating a reborn version of itself. In tests, the reborn is very friendly to the closest creature, and becomes its pet, obeying simple commands. It very quickly grows and matures, but after 24 hours when it's fully reborn it will revert to its predatory nature, murdering living things.
A Close Cousin. The creatures DNA was taken and played around with. It was eventually combined with human DNA, resulting in an astonishing discovery. Its shapeshifting ability was augmented, capable of doing it at will, requiring no hosts. This was quickly exploited into military use. The genetic modifications made it compliant and less aggressive, bloodthirsty and violent. It could be trained to shapeshift pieces of its body to perfectly replicate objects both structurally and atomically, unlike the Char'Kallu who could only replicate appearance. This beast is named the Impostor, who is trained to infiltrate enemy areas, and shifting into personnel, capable of creating weapons for itself and picking off enemies, stealing data and sabotaging important machinery. It could also speak all languages, capable of communicating.
