Fiction:The Claxe

The Claxe is a race of machine lifeforms, called Caxedon, that draw energy by consuming the energy sources of other races, and are driven by a collective instinct to consume as much energy as they can and replicated themselves from the remains of whatever city they destroy. Despite their seemingly mindless nature, the Claxe have been known to show strategy and an animal cunning, as well as what seems to be hatred for and desire to eradicate any organic lifeforms they encounter. The Claxe were created to act as living reactors by the Eitren, but have since mutated into the threat they are now.

Organization
The Claxe is organized into a strict hierarchy that all Claxedon follow simply as a matter of pure instinct. At the bottom rung is the Crust-class, small, swarming Claxedon that act as infantry and can be anywhere from three to five meters in height. Next are the Mantel-class that act as armour and aircraft. They can be anywhere from ten to twenty five meters in height. Finally there are the Core-classes, divided up into Outer Core and Inner Core. Outer Core are kaiju sized beasts anywhere from fifty to a hundred meters in height. Inner Core are similar to Outer Core but are much bigger ranging from two hundred to three hundred meters, and are also fully sentient.

Behavior
Claxedon on their own are fairly straight forward beasts that usually just bulldoze to their goal, relying on their strength in numbers and sheer force. If they encounter any opposition that they cannot overcome thusly, then they will begin to show some form of rudimentary tactics and coordination. Bigger Claxedon seem to be more cunning and adaptable then smaller ones, though the smaller ones are far quicker to work together. When attacking Claxedon seem to go out of their way to cause as much destruction as possible, and will even actively chase down any fleeing organics, organics actually fighting back drives then exceptionally berserk. However, if a large enough source of energy is near by Claxedon with go after that instead and sometimes fight among one another for first drain.
