Creature:Progenies Organism

Overview
Used by the United Persan Descendants as a weapon to weaken or remove an enemy presence on a planet. they are dropped as missiles containing spores that then quickly spread far and fast into the ecosystem of the planet. The spores then analyse the ecosystem and then grow into forms adapted for that ecosystem, with several different forms developing as the creatures spread even further.

While some might consider the use of Progenies controversial it should be noted the use of these beasts on a planet is not genocide. Since the creatures only advanced forms of technology and do not attack the actual inhabitants unless attacked themselves. In fact most casualties come from military action taken to stop the creatures rather then by the beasts themselves.

The Progenies were first discovered as an integral(though alien) part of the ecosystem of Alastor, the UPD capital planet. After much observation their spores were collected, bred, and prepared for use as a weapon.

Physiology
The creatures despite their heavy variation of form all have several things in common. First they spread via spores that either embed themselves in the ground or in the local vegetation. The spore then develop into eggs that hatch into young Progenies that quickly grow to their full size. The organism grows into forms adapted for the ecosystem with more variations on form appearing as the creatures spread further.

However all have smooth, bio-luminescent skin and tentacles. Also the Progenies regenerate at a fast rate, feed of energy sources, larger variants can generate a powerful electrical shield for protection, and all can created powerful electrical blasts. When killed or die the creatures release large amounts of spores spreading even further.

Behavior
The Progenies can either be found traveling alone or in herds. Highly social creatures they regularly communicate with bio-luminescence and sounds and even mourn their dead and have names for each other. Even the different variants can recognize one another and communicate, but never have been witnessed herding. While not normally aggressive they quickly become violent when attacked and can quickly learn to associate certain sounds, sights, and smells with an attack triggering their aggression.

They are attracted to energy sources as that is their preferred food supply and will often destroy objects that produce and give off energy in order to feed, making them a threat to anything with significant technological advancement. If artificial energy sources are not available they will sustain themselves via solar and geothermal energy sources. The UPD has adapted to colonizing planets they unleashed Progenies on to take care of enemy presence by actually communicating with them(their primary species the Naiyu Vanara actually communicate the same way the Progenies do). While not full communication they can keep the Progenies away by using the light and sound signals for danger. However this signal is different from the Prigenies of one planet to the Progenies of another making it tricky to figure out even for them, and incredibly difficult for others who do not communicate as such naturally.

Forms
While all Progenies are different from planet to planets all variants can be classified in a general, broad grouping of four different forms.

Quadrupedal forms that are latter development of creatures as they spread further. They run on four legs and are anywhere from 1 to 10 meters tall.
 * Beast

Large Progenies anywhere from 20 to 50 meters tall. The first variant to form in a Progenies invasion.
 * Mammoth

Even larger Progenies that are a further development of the Mammoth of the invasion spreads. They are anywhere between 60 to 120 meters tall.
 * Colossus

Massive Progenies that can grow to a staggering 400 meters in height. Very rare, but by the time they form(if they ever do) the invasion is considered over. However one massive beast nicknamed Old Mountain Eater has grown up to 800 Meters and makes it's homes in the north most of Alastor.
 * Behemoth
