Description Earth Demons

First manifestations of evil, they were born to be a group of plagues to unleash shortly after the banishment of Sauros. There are seven different breeds, each one the primeval manifestation of a sin. Actually, they all reside in the Gehenna, the damned continent housing the magical whirlpool called Maelstrom, the portal to the Abyss, situated in the south pole. There, they battle eachother since the beginning, unable to leave the Gehenna.

The Brood

Representing the sin of envy, the Brood are intelligent, predatory abominations with dinosaur-like features.
Extremely adaptable, they live in a matriarchal hieracy, ruled by enormous queens. Since they are early manifestations of Envy, they constantly try to take over what belongs to others, even by reproducing; in fact, the queens spread their species by infecting other lifeforms, turning them into broodlings.

Broodlings

Broodlings are the queen's children and servants, and stand aproximately 2 mt tall and 4 mt long.

Common abilities of Broodlings are:

Physical attributes: Enhaced strenght, enhaced senses, good speed, nasty bite, claws, flight, poisonous stinger, hypnotic rattle;

Adaptable- Broodlings can run, climb, swim and fly, so no ground is a real problem for them;

Looks can deceive- Broodlings look bestial, but they have quite an intelligence, and are able to comprehend and speak most other languages, even use tools;

Parasitic- Any of the host's abilities are, once turned, inherited by the new broodling, memories included;

Host-Form- Broodlings can revert into their host's form whenever they please, shifting into their true form when needed. Hybrid forms are also possible;

Hypnosis- The rattle on Broodlings's tails is able to produce a particular, unknown sound frequence able to shut down most of the neural system, pretty much paralyzing any hearing it. The rattle must, however, works only at close rage, and can take some time to be effective;

Poison- While the rattle is realized to immobilize possible hosts, the stinger is designed to kill. Able to stab through most materials, can deliver a lethal dose of neurotoxin;

Dormant virus- Should occur that there's no queen present, broodlings can produce in their bodies a transformation virus similar to the queen's, and can infect more hosts themselves. However, this virus is much slower than the queen's and then to tire the broodlings very much;

Queen

Queens look exactly like broodlings, with the only difference that they stand 3 meters tall and 7 meters long, and have the same abilities, except:

Breeder: Inside her body, the Brood queen develops a unique virus, a lycanthropy-like disease she uses to propagate the species. she injectes a certain dose of toxin in the host (how this method exactly works is unknown) which slowly turns the victim into a broodling or, sometimes, another queen;

Mother of the hive- the queen is the supreme rulerof her nest, there's none who can siscuss her orders;

TRIVIA
rumors say that the Brood are the ancestors of the Basilisk species, given the rensemblance;


Well, here's one of the seven species sketched out, just to give an idea. above you have a common Brood and a half human host-form. I like the Brood from Marvel comics very much, even if they're just rip-off of Alien, and I wanted to make them a tribute. I wanted these creeps to be unique in their kind and completely bestial like the comic's, but those were insectoid, so I went mad with the reptilian idea.

Remember the Camo Raptor? well, I was playing with the idea, when a lightning bolt hit me: a friend of mine, Ghilarah93, told me I could make a camo dilo, and I went mad with the idea to create some dilo-buggers. I was a bit sick, of the poisonous dilo, so there's an invasion-projected one. Whatcha think?

Interesting how this came out...oh and you have a spammer above my post, my want to hide\block that.

All and all I think this is a pretty damned cool idea, though I have to wonder how many hive species you have in your verse after these guys. lol

And I kinda have to agree with Gil, Mr.Finhead down there might have some trouble hiding himself.

Not really that many, more or less 4.

He's just showing his "brood side", he can look as he looked when human, that's just a broodling emerging and my bad skills in writing biting me.

Still, might want to jump on those.

I figured as much. But what is funnier is I can just imagine one of these guys just walking around in a human city and no one but one poor guy being able to tell that it isn't human.

Guy: But look at him! He has great freaking fins on his head and everything! He's a demon!
Guard: *raises eyebrow and looks over at said finheaded man leaning up against an apple cart*
Guy: See! And Yesterday i swear I saw him eating LIVE MICE!
Guard: *sigh* Sir, calm down. Mr. Hummo Sappian is a very loyal and hard working member of our city, which makes him family...no matter how deformed and poor he might be.
Guy:....what?
Guard: And you have no right to criticize him and how he looks, he was born that way sir and I will have no one talking bad about good Hummo while I'm around. *drags sputtering guy off to the local jail*

UH? Well, to be exact, there are just two with queens, this and the bugs. Others are mainly packs led by individuals elevated to another rank. All have castes, more or less.

Yeah, sorry, just desperate to point out that that's no strange haircut.

BROOD RUSH

LOL couldn't resist. Anyways, this Brood concept is looking great so far, and I have nothing to offer to the design, it fits the creatures just perfectly. Though I have my doubts as to how well that guy at the bottom could "blend in". XD

BTW, to put a Deviant's icon in text, put a ":icon" before their name and a ":" after it, no spaces between any of it.
