Description

Species: Mariumbra
Homeplanet: Spectreullen
Life-Span: 200-250
Habitat: Cave Systems, Thick Forests/Jungles (They can adapt to other biomes depending on what they possess/control.)
Diet: Detritivore/Osteophagy/Hematophagy
Breeding: Asexual Reproduction

Sexual Dimorphism: Sexless species that reproduce through an asexual mitosis process.

Behaviour/Bio: Mariumbras originate from a wildly diverse planet full of all kinds of creatures and animals, with plenty of biomes to explore. While by no means super-intelligent beings, they are the only creatures on their planet that are not animals, but do live alongside them do to their strange ability. They evolved the ability to possess and take over the bodies of anything they come across, whether living or inanimate, able to use the biology and abilities of what they take control. Despite how off putting this ability may seem, they barely have any malicious intent when doing so, merely trying to survive to get a task done, and don’t tend to keep their host forever and move on eventually.

The way they joined the galaxy stage of life was by accident. You see, the Plumbers had decided to scout out this planet one day, having seen no signs of intelligent life that their presence may disturb, and wanted to do research on the diverse wildlife. Given Mariumbras are curious beings, especially by something new, they started sneaking around and watching the Plumbers, sometimes stealing items that might have left laying around. unfortunately, some had snuck onto the ship, and just as the Plumbers were about to take off, they finally realised they had surprise guests. A bit of a fight broke out when scaring the Mariumbras by mistake, which caused them to possess some of the Plumbers in an act of defence. But after a bit of calming down, they managed to communicate and make peace with the Mariumbras, learning they meant no harm.

Given the Plumbers basically introduced them to alien life by their presence, they decided that they could at least help the Mariumbras enter the galactic stage as smooth as possible, which ended up really piquing their interest due to their curious natures. They still need assistance here and there as they aren’t a very advance species, but they’ve become quite the help for the Plumbers due to their unique powers. Either as spies or aids in combat, to even helping in the medical field from time to time. Because of this, you mostly find them hanging around the Plumbers, being quite talkative little guys.
Abilities:

Possession/Body Control - Being their main ability, Mariumbras are able to latch onto anything and take control of the host they pick, gaining the biological traits and abilities of whatever they possess. However, they due not upgrade or add anything new to whatever they take control of, so they are limited by whatever their host has and has not got. This works on living things and inanimate objects.

Biology/Object Understanding - When they take control over something, they are quick to understand how it works, and what is going on in it. This ranges from understanding power sets quickly, to even detecting injures, illnesses and any kind of damage done to their host, even if they have not realises it (This is why they’re handy in the medical field). They can also read a person’s mind when connected, able to see thoughts and memories.

Boneless Body - They have a strange, squishy body with no bones to speak of, meaning they can bend, twist and shape themselves with no issue, often able to slip through the smallest of cracks to escape or hide.

High-Endurance/Stamina/Reflexes/Flexibility - These little guys are not easy to kill. While they’re not strong or tough opponents when they have no host, they’re not easy to take down and end, due to their strange biology and squishy body. It is possible to kill one, it just takes a lot of effort.

Weaknesses: On their own, Mariumbras don’t have much in the way of defending themself, beyond running and hiding (That or trying to take control of their attacker). While having no distinct weakness, they have no distinct strength, so hitting them enough times with any kind of tool or move will eventually kill them. When they take control of a host, they are limited by what the host can do, and can even gain their weaknesses, just as they can their strengths. People have been known to fight their control, sometimes even pulling them off of themselves, and it’s often people with strong willpower or powerful minds and bodies, as Mariumbras do have issues taking control of strong beings.
