Creature:Insurrection Virus

Origins
The Insurrection Virus developed on a planet called Alastor. An icy, dark, forested planet with a thin atmosphere constantly bombarded by cosmic rays, and with a boron and ammonia based ecosystem during a period similar to the middle ages of earth. The planet was dominated by a divided Therapsid species called Promen who for the most part lived as scattered tribes and kingdoms that minded their own boarders with only the occasional territorial squabble.

That all changed when one tribe began to develop industrial era technology. A religion grew in this people that worshiped machine spirits and gathered a highly zealous fallowing who set out to force all others to submit to their religion and ways. They crushed tribe after tribe, kingdom after kingdom until there was only one. They sent a secret order of knights to subjugate these people. While successful the shamans of this tribes religion had planned a trap for them. For these shaman had master control over their planets natural forces and thus used it to convert themselves into a sexual transmitted virus that infected the knights mutated they're children into mutants with frightening abilities.

The first wave of these mutants were exterminated, but as the Promen continued to progress the virus continued to mutate causing more and more powerful mutants to emerge every century or so. Eventually a vaccine was developed against the virus thus ending the threat of the mutants spreading and they were all gunned down.

Alternation by Ava
However as the last of these mutants was about to be killed she mysteriously vanished. The mutant had been abducted by three members of a dying race called Persacron. They wished to preserver their species by merging the mutant with one of their own to create a living terraforming device that would create a new species to preserve their legacy, the mutant agreed and a merged with a Persacron to create the living terraforming device called Ava. Ava returned to the planet where a massive nuclear war had broken out. Ava released a much stronger variation of the virus strengthened by Persacron DNA. The Promen soon found themselves fighting an enemy within as well as without and were eventually driven to extinction and the Vanara rose to dominance.

Biology
The Insurrection Virus is a sexually transmitted virus that causes mutations in the hosts children, infesting them in turn. However the virus is hardly harmful as it merely lies dormant inside the system until the time for reproduction comes and the virus begins replicating itself(not enough to hurt the host) and transfer over to the offspring. When it encounters new genetic material it bridges the gap between the genetic divide creating a perfect hybrid. The virus actually has intelligence and can recognize those hostile to it, driving the mutations and hybrids it creates to kill the hostile species.

Variants

 * Original Variant - The first variant born on Alastor, it was significantly weaker and unable to create hybrids.


 * Persan Variant - One of the variants created by Ava, it was used to create the Vanara and is the most powerful of all.


 * Sucroid Variant - Used to create the, it gives the host the ability to create altered versions of itself by having them covert ingested bio-mass. After being frozen it was weakened and can no longer be spread via reproduction.


 * Vadyadhara Variant - A weak version created by Ava as a test run. It died off long ago though the Vadyadhara it created still live.
