Creature:Grimbolsaurian

The Grimbolsaurians founded the Delpha Coalition of Planets - one of the most advanced and powerful empires in the universe. A Type IV civilization, they have the power to manipulate space and time, have control over several galaxies in two differnt universes and above all have a thirst for combat. However, they are not evil, but just aggressive towards the enemy.

Biology

 * Grimbolsaurians are intelligent creatures who originated from Mirenton. Their history is violent but colorful, their chemical make up is a mixture of DNA and RNA and they are carbon based lifeforms.  They evolved 100,000 years ago similar to Humans but life originated on Mirenton three billion years ago in the cell phase.  They have evolved tough skin to survive the harsh solar flares of their sun - Chilius.  Their nature is not evil but they are warriors.
 * A modern space-faring Grimbolsaurian's lifespan can be at least 200 to 300 years, however, through mind transferrals, they can live far longer. Unfortunately, this is not the case for every Grimbolsuarian, this is to protect against overpopulation on colonies.  However, not surprisingly, this has stirred much controversey with Grimbolsaurian citezens.
 * Grimbolsaurians look weak physically, but this is not true, and has tricked many alien combatants. A Grimbolsaurian's strength is many times that of most humanoids, they have tough hides and sharp strike weapons.  They are carnivorous.  However, their agility lacks behind species such as humans, so they are not good dancers, but can sprint in straight lines.
 * The Grimbolsaurians have stalk eyes, however, like a slug, they can draw in their eyes for battle. If one is chopped off, they can grow a new one in days.  This is because Grimbolsaurians have good regenerative abilities.
 * Grimbolsaurians are on average 2.62 meters tall according to Sporeristics.
 * Grimbolsaurians have the ability to camouflage in most enviroments using Sneak, in a similar fashion to the Chameleon.

Language
Their language sounds like unintelligible chirps, whistles and mandible sounds, however their language is extremely complex, and cannot be deciphered by most humanoids (insectoids may do better). But a universal translator can help other humanoids how to understand them.

Culture
Grimbolsaurians are warrior society that uphold honour above almost everything else. It is too bloodthirsty for many aliens. The Grimbolsaurian Empire is easy anger however, but they can show peace and mercy, occasionally.

The Grimbolsaurians have a great love for technology (science and technology comes second only to honour). And the Grimbolsaurians like to work like a colony of ants (although they are not a hive-mind, individuals are intelligent too).

Please do not be put off by their war-like nature, despite it they are actually quite friendly! Just don't cross the line with them, or your empire is as good as extinct!
 * In Grimbolsaurian culture, the colour blue replaces red as a warning colour, hence, this is the reason why you may hear CODE:blue Alert in my DCP-related adventures.

Religion
The Grimbolsaurians have had no religion since the end of the tribal stage. And much of their ancient culture and history was destroyed during the nuclear wars and holocausts on their homeworld Mirenton, and in the horrors of the war, religion, science and ancient cultures were sadly lost for good.

Although Grimbolsaurian's don't see Emperor Wormulus II as a god, they respect him as one.

Technology
In the late space stage, the Grimbolsaurians and their allies in the DCP possessed incredible technology.
 * Star killers
 * Extra dimensional portals
 * Black hole generators
 * Zero-point energy and antimatter powered tech
 * Cloning and consciousness transfers
 * The ability to control space and time
 * All Spore technologies - Anti-Matter Bombs, Staff of Life, Monoliths etc.

Evolution
The true evolutionary line started later in the creature stage.

MOLECULAR STAGE
The organic molecules started forming in a comet when the organic brew started to warm up as the comet got closer to the home star Chilius during the young days of the solar system. Carbon and other moleculules started to combine into RNA and DNA. Very simple near lifeforms started to form. The comet was then plunged by Chilius into a young planet called Mirenton.

CELL/AQUATIC PHASE
The first life on the planet was extremely simple, some were composed of RNA or TNA rather than DNA. DNA soon became the dominent molecule. Simple near-life forms started evolving. Then the true lifeforms evolved. Early bacteria and viroids were the first.

The most advanced microbe evolved after millions years called Micross cilladon evolved for speed with extra Cilia and a jet for extra speed and turns. It came close to the top of the food chain. Eventually after millions of years it evolved into an aquatic animal with the cilia being replaced by fins. Due to epic sea monsters it evolved into a slug-like creature called a slimion that could live on land. �

CREATURE PHASE
It started becoming the top predator evolving weapons such as a strike and charge as well as good senses. The slimion then evolved legs  millions of years later. The slimion evolved into various forms of Grimbon who eventually became bipedal and sapient giving rise to the Grimbosaurians.

TRIBAL/CITY/CIV
During tribal stage, the Grimbolsaurians domesticated the Tri-Chomp, used for riding or collecting its eggs for food. In later times they became pets. But young, inexperienced owners should be aware that the Tri-Chomp can be aggressive, even though it is a herbivore.

The Grimbolsaurians were very aggressive in tribal stage, and very lawless and violent in the city/civ stage. This caused a devastating war which was ended with the launching ICBMs or Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles, EM bombs and other WMD's almost causing an end to the Grimbolsaurian civilisation. Not long after Emperor Wormulus I was assasinated. Fortunately they united to survive, and out of the ashes rose a young empire, led by Emperor Wormulus II...
