Fiction:Waptoria Alliance of Species/Military

"Evil will fall!"

- Army Motto

The Waptoria Army
The army is composed of Waptoria Conqrix and created races. The main force in the army are the Botana and the created races, or bioweapons. Along with them are Waptoria Conqrix, Waptoria Marinox and freed Grox slaves. The other races, like the Raptoraneans, Liev, Runen, Globlings, were elite troopers, and are no longer used in warfare.

Feral Seedling
Feral seedlings have adapted from natural Botana seeds to become miniature monsters. They move on tentacle-like root appendages and are only about the size of one's fist. They are fast, stealthy and not particularly hard to deal with. They do, however, are always in large swarms. The only real danger of the Seedlings is their power to infect either bioweapons or ShadowRaptors, merging the minds and bodies of the two creatures, and making them much stronger.

Rootling
The Rootling is a highly advanced pure form of botana. Discovered recently, the Rootlings are found in hives that are developed and thriving on their landscape. The Rootling attacks its victims by attaching itself to the ground forming massive roots that burst through the surface and impale any enemies in their way. The Rootling's role is to basically spread the hive even further than its already grown. By using its roots, it may bloom more flowers and more full plants. Some have been grown to be so massive that they produce Stranglepedes from its roots.

Stranglepede
The Stranglepede is a monstrous forms that may burst out of a host after the plant has matured inside. The Stranglepede is approximately 13ft of plant matter. They are extremely formidable in combat and can wipe out large groups with a swipe of its massive body. They may also grab their victim and squeeze them, while lashing tentacles rip them apart. They are extremely agile and come in swarms. Some are found crawling underground and if it finds suitable conditions, it will begin to root the ground and produce flowers. The "legs" are actually individual roots and once rooted and flowered, feral seedlings will swarm out of it, eventually becoming a hive.

Terranaught
The Terranaught is a massive Botana plant that is commonly found floating in space. This form was only discovered recently but are becoming extremely common which is leading to the fact that Botana are now evolving to more extreme forms. Not much is known about the Terranaught except that it is a massive pure form that rips ships apart and devours the crew. It gently drifts around in space flailing its tentacles hopefully grabbing a ship and then shredding it. It is known that is will evolve from shipeaters who drift off in space. It is, however, unknown what happens if caught in the gravity of a planet. Some speculate that it will turn into a hive and soon infest the entire planet.

Liliaceda
The Liliaceda is a the monstrous growth after about five days after the infection of a host. This is when the plant inside the infected is starting to sprout and bloom it's flower. Unfortunately this flower is used like a mouth and it will drag victims into it. The flower is extremely hard and sharp which scrapes and mutilates it's victim while being toward the center to be devoured. This monster is just one of hideous forms that infected can turn into, and it is speculated that it will often evolve further into a Xyston or Rootling, however although likely, no proof of this exist.

Xyston
Xystons are among the strangest of Botana host forms. They have an incubation period of about 9-14 days, being a large plant and needing lots of nutrients. Xyston forms are rare and usually only form in Scions and Centurions. The plant itself causes massive bloating in it's host and grows a long tentacle-like stem, tipped with a modified, razor-sharp, hardened leaf. Xyston forms tend to become gigantic, and usually double the size of their original host forms. Since much of the host has already deteriorated by the time a Xyston forms, much of the plant itself is exposed. Xyston plants have an incredibly tough bark-like covering, that can also grow over the original host's skin, making them nearly impervious to small arms fire. However, their true danger lies in the hardened leaf and stem. The stem of a Xyston can become almost 15 feet long, allowing a very far reach. With lightning-like speed and strength, a Xyston can extend the stem to frightening lengths and stab (and usually kill) anything it will deem hostile, whether it be creature, structure, or vehicle.
