Having played around with the Seventh Sanctum Alien Race Name Generator, I decided to share with the 'Clave what I had produced and created around them -
Biosages Of The Flesh Space
Medically talented group, possibly religiously influenced, available for hire to any. Biology inconsistent – Magos Philen’s research indicates that the origin is definitely Xenos. Known to utilise some form of biologically empowered warp travel [cf. Crotalid]. Widespread but rare. Known to be unwelcome on a variety of Craftworlds. Known to be hired by certain Xenophilic Governors [cf. The Teshar IV Rebellion, The Hundredth World Uprising, The Rebellion in Fourth Hive, The Unholy Court of Lord Kerat]. Known to have at least once rejected approaches from Tau Empire. Known to have assisted at least one hostile Xenos race [cf. Q’Orl]. Warning signs – Unusually long-lived individuals, especially in the absence of Mechanicus assistance, unusually low or high rates of mutation, especially in known risk mutation families [cf. The Noble Chebe], sudden miracle cures among the not sufficiently faithful [cf. The False Saint Grashof].
Coffin Beetles
Necrophageous scavenger found on a wide variety of worlds, possibly spread in Grox shipments [cf. Arken’s World Stripbug]. Common on Selpucher Worlds. Roughly ½cm from head to tail, with four limbs and an assortment of manipulatory appendages at the head. Usually insignificant. Possible risks are 1) damage and destruction of holy relics and 2) the anomalous behaviour known as “puppetting”. In puppetting, a coffin beetle swarm will massively increase its rate of reproduction, easily doubling in size every 2 days, and in at least once case, doubling in size every 3 hours [cf. The Dreg Infestation]. The newly grown swarm will then infest a recently dead creature, and animate it. The swarm will then direct their new animated host to attack around itself wildly. Newly killed creatures will then become suitable hosts for the rapidly reproducing Coffin Beetles.
“Electroghast”
Existence Rumoured – Possibly Mythical. Believed to be some form of Xenos being possessed of powerful electromagnetic field. Sometimes claimed to be a humanoid species with electromagnetic powers or technology [cf. Xenarch {?}, Stakis]. Sometimes claimed to be living, self-sustaining, possibly intelligent being formed of electromagnetic fields. Considered Xenos Horribilis Minoris by the Inquisition. Considered Xenos Horribilis Extremis by the Adeptus Mechanicus. Extremely dangerous to delicate and advanced technologies. [Note – Electroghast rumours also under investigation through the auspices of the Ordo Hereticus, Collegia Extremis and Ordo Malleus]
Heliosaurs
Primarily void-dwelling creatures. Ferro-chemical biology. Resemble the flying Saurian specimens found on certain worlds [cf. ‘Maiden’ Worlds]. Feed by consuming plasma, primarily by ‘flying’ through the upper layers of stars. Known to attack Imperial shipping seeking access to their plasma drives. Lifespans estimated at least 5 million years.
I'm definitely going to make an Electoghast - use wire to make a sort of bundle of lightning, similar to the Poltergeists and Electro Anomaly in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
Here's the Poltergeist, in its lightning formI think all of these names came direct from that generator - which is
here.
