Xrglonthi

Xrglonthi are a homoform breed of sapient life-forms who wander the Local Group as interstellar locusts.

Physical Parameters
Xrglonthi are bald, with semi-translucent skin, bat-wings, one set of arms, 3 pairs of tentacles, and one pair of legs.

Biological Peculiarities
Xrglonthi are nearly pure carnivores; their digestive systems prefer the meat raw.

Lifestyle
Xrglonthi travel from planet to planet in groups called "swarms"; a swarm will number anywhere between one billion and ten billion individuals. When they reach a planet, they proceed to devour all animal life they can consume; they refer to this as the Gorging. A mass orgy called the Spawning follows. If suitable local materials are easily available, they will repair their spaceships and/or build new ones. If the swarm grows large enough as a result of the Spawning, it will split, the new swarms heading in different directions upon their departure.
