Creature:Serveel

The Serveel are an artificial race originally created by the Matroq as a means of raising disposable allies in difficult wars. Their design has since been copied by several other empires. Although created almost primarily for some short-term service, they have been known to, very rarely, break free or overcome their masters. However, some races implement a "servant attitude" into their creation, making them inherently obedient.

The anatomy of the Serveel is relatively simple. The flesh is dark blue, with light blue spotting, and very porous internally, but has a thin, yet strong, rubbery exterior. The porous flesh is filled with several lighter-than-air gasses, which levitate the creatures off the ground by a few feet. While they do not have legs, they have several tentacles (the number of which vary depending on the specimen) which are used to pull the creature along. The Serveel have a bloated, rounded body topped with gaseous bubbles of extremely porous skin. Their head is a perfectly round orb extended from the body via a long, thin neck. The Serveel have several pairs of eyes (the number of which, once again, depends on specimen) and a four-hinged jaw located at the bottom of the head.

The diet of a Serveel is almost infinite, in terms of organic substances. Almost any plant or animal material can be consumed. Poisons generally do not have any affect on a Serveel, as a by-product from their artificial nature.
