Fiction:Don'Yoku

Of it, we do not speak. The creature can subsume the flesh of anything, from reptile, to bird, silicon or not. Even machines can, with effort, be rewritten. We merely called it "Don'Yoku", "Devourer".

There is much to do. We return. We return. We return.

The Don'Yoku are a race of parasites encountered by the Multus Esse that seek to consume all life in the galaxy, similar to the savage and cunning Bio-Morphlings, and the other-wordly Shadow Morphlings. The Don'Yoku were encountered in ancient times, and, in response, the Teliktroid lifeforms were created to counter them and consume them without being infected in turn. For ages, the Don'Yoku have remained on one world, forced to hide from their ravenous predators.

What few realize, is that the Don'Yoku are the degenerate and mutated descendants of the Prerunners, the ancient Precursor race that once ruled Mirus through their self-proclaimed "Infinite Empire" and sought to conquer everything. After being destroyed by the Multus, a lone survivor landed on their world, and broke apart into what would become the Don'Yoku, driven now by the goal to infect all life, and, hopefully, recreate the Prerunners.
