Description
Descendants of organic personal firearms, Avtoxier are an incredibly diverse group that makes up much of the Heliconia's biosphere, similar to Earth's insects and rodents.

Toxotes are aquatic Avtoxier that generally hunt through suction feeding, or via a symbiotic relationship with Volipods, descendants of ammunition that generally act as digestive or reproductive extensions of Toxotes.
Some Volipods exist as magazine-organ spawned organisms within the host Toxote body, while others exist freely as a separate entity until consumed by a Toxote.

Many species are not purely of ancient origin, being re-modified into weapons by an unknown colonist species and later abandoned to go feral once again.
