Creature:HXT Spaceflyer

Tyranite Spaceflyers are the Tyranite method of travelling through space.

Origins
The Spaceflyers, unlike most Tyranites, weren't born Tyranites. Instead, they were creatures made by the Taldar. Made of incredibly thick scales tougher than the materials most spaceships used. They were an experiment to see how they could make 3D life travel in 3D space. After months of research, they finally came out with the Spaceflyer. A creature who was capable of travelling through space by manipulating gravity on other objects to pull it towards them. It manipulates gravity using Gyronicspawn; reversing effects on gravity pulling them doing but pulling them towards other planets. After millennia of evolution, they became capable of travelling to other star ships, and roamed the galaxy.

Joining the swarm
When the Tyranites settled on a planet, they felt trapped. The swarmlord looked for a way, any way to get off the world and travel somewhere else. Then, one day, he detected a fleet of 'space birds', the Spaceflyers. That, or they had evolved travelling the stars. They entered the swarm, when several Tyranites managed to become airborne and attack the Spaceflyers. After a month or so of genetic alteration, they managed to turn the spaceflyers into Tyranites which could transport Breeders and Swarmlords across the galaxy.

Appearance
A huge, worm-like flyer covered in spikes and spitters. It also contains creatures floating around in a liquid contained in its body (which is possibly its blood).

Movement
The creature can sense gravitational waves, but uses photosynthesis to gather solar energy. Then, it fuses hyrdrogen that lies in between the stars in order to attract it to more stars (with more food).

Abilities
Spaceflyers can spit Tyrashards, ranging from large to small, at other ships. Well aimed shots can down ships. Also, its scales are stronger than materials used in most empires' ships, so they are incredibly tough.

Reproduction
Tyranite Spaceflyers contains Tyrabreeders and Swarmlords. The Tyrabreeders in addition to breeding ordinary Tyranites, have 3 large eggs each; two are for creating Tyrabreeders to launch on planets, and the other largest is to give birth to a new Spaceflyer. These can be launched on moons to root in planets, drain their food and birth a new Spaceflyer. Spaceflyers take severaldecades of infancy to fully grow into adult Spaceflyers which transport Tyranites.

Attacks
Fires Tyrashards at other foes, as well as launching Tyrabreeders to act as parasites; devouring the ship and sending almost endless waves of Tyranites to attack. They also have several tentacles that can attack ships at close range.

Evasion
Nearly impossible to evade Tyranite ships.

Tactics
It is best to either use a large superweapon or to attack weak points of the Spaceflyers to beat them.
