Creature:HXT Swarmlord

Tyranite Swarmlords are Tyranite hive mind controllers.

Role
Swarmlords are the brains and leaders behind the Tyranites. Central to the Tyranite hive mind system, through an unknown way they manage to command all Tyranites closest to them. This is why Swarmlords are either part of a Tyranite fleet (in space ships, although spaceships are not describable) or dug into a planet, draining its energies and reproducing more Tyranites. Swarmlords, thus, also serve as Hives.

Appearance
Swarmlords are dug into a planet, normally in a huge 'hole' in the ground. They have several tentacles spread out in other areas nearby. Their sizes are immense, but they do not grow larger.

Behaviour
Swarmlords simply stay nearby, giving birth to new Tyranites, and commanding them. They also use their tentacles to eat nearby non-Tyranites. They are fed by other Tyranites, and by eating Dark Gyronic from the planet. Several of its tentacles serve as 'roots' performing this function.

Abilities
Swarmlords can command a huge swarm, as well as attack foes with their tentacles.

Reproduction
It is presumed that Swarmlords create an egg which other Tyranites deliver to an area, but this is unknown.

Attacks
Swarmlords can attack with their extremely strong tentacles, as well as with other Tyranites.

Evasion
The only way to evade Swarmlords is to stay far away from them.

Tactics
As of yet, no Swarmlords have been defeated, so there is no known tactic besides to flee from them.
