Creature:Stalkie

Stalkies are very creepy creatures, with no skin and open muscles and bones. Terrifying spikes come from their legs, and eyes burning with the blood red fire. It is hard to find that they are actually very friendly creatures with love to gifts, trading and allying. They are native to Universe 66501.

Cell Stage
Nothing is known about the time when they were cells, most likely some elder race just created them manually.

Creature Stage
Stalkies have born on strange, radioactive world named Necrion. There was extreme temperature, thin atmosphere, and lots of lava. To survive, they required to become extremely hostile to anyone. However, radiation dealt a terrifying damage to them, transforming them to creepy things those we know today.

Once they become at the top of the food chain, they started to slowly being extinct. With nearly all other creatures were driven to extinction, Stalkies remained with no food to survive. However, in those times, their brains suddenly evolved, making them first tribal creatures in their planet.

Tribal Stage
Upon becoming sapient, they, driven by fear of starvation, started to, instead of hunt, domesticating what remained of the Necrion fauna. But new tribes appeared on the horizon, distrupting Stalkies' peaceful life.

In those times, Stalkies have chosen their path that they will bear along all their life. They started to trade food with other tribes. Socializing and gifting others, Stalkies quickly become the strongest tribe with all other as allies.

They were ready to enter Civilization. However, a lone UFO has landed in Necrion and colonizing it. All Stalkies were abducted and landed on better, T3 planet, named Quiteus. Here, they have built their first city, named Lethine.

Civilization Stage
On the T3 planet, Stalkies quickly grow in power. Other Stalkies were sent to other lands to colonize and research. But corporation concuil of Lethinne could not master all colonists, and so most cities betrayed them. With almost no military power, concuil started to find another path to dominate the planet.

They communicated with the leader of one port city. By trade with goods and spices, they managed to buy this city. And so, with access to sea, they have captured most of planet's spice derricks. This, together with great spice working technology, gave Lethinne nearly full Spice monopoly into the planet.

Now, nearly all cities were dependant on Lethinne's spice. So, they started a trade with them and all were bought out, except for one religious country. However, Lethinne gave a large gifts for their leder to not attack them, and finally has launched a Global Merger, to conquer them.

Space Stage
When they were all united, they have created an UFO, named Spacegiver. A gifted trader and friend of Corporation Concuil, Leangista, became its captain. They started to ally and trade with other spacefaring nations.

When refugees from the Tigris Galaxy have travelled into their worlds, they befriended them. Though at first Radeon disliked them, then they realized thet they have very friendly culture, and they are very acceptive to any religion. So, they are now allies.
