The Scytod Hunting Grounds

Commander Leyrie smelled the air again. Being a follower of the Bend and Strike Path of Motherhood, she trusted very much in her senses. And the smell in the air told her to be wary. She waved with her left hand. "Danger. Full combat mode", her hand movement told her squad. The women blended with the vegetation.

I don't know these people, she thought. The small village was completely abandoned but the alien ship was still there. She ordered her squad to fire two Maiden missiles against the ship and now it was scrap. For two hours they were following the trails of human feet - the village inhabitants - and some strange tracks.

It was her mastery in the Path that saved her. She felt the firing of cohesive light against her and she let her body bend to the ground accepting it. And with a roll she fired back her Machine Gun laser. The creature that fell from the tree was a terrifying Spider-like creature with blue and golden eyes and fur. But the worst was his hands and the gun on it. From her squad several laser rays incinerated the creature.

She had heard of it. The Scytod. Ugly spiders with lust for intelligent creatures meat. Then she head a very human cry. The squad moved in a perfect Serpent Wave movement, fast and deadly. In a open part of the forest, a giant web had been built. Glued to it were the women from the village. The spiders were eating. Leyrie ordered fire, but it was unnecessary. After the battle, only two of her squad were alive. Thirty arachnoid creatures were dead. They released the prisoners and rounded the bodies of the dead. Some of them were boiled...


Name: Scytod
Look: SPIDERS!
Back Story: The Scytod are a ruthless, war-like race, completely hateful of all other sentient beings. Through the ages, the horror and revulsion all aliens have exhibited when seeing a Scytod for the first time, has made the Scytod angry, bitter and hateful. BUT, the Scytod are becoming lonely...

War: They do not negotiate. They do not bargain. They do not make alliances. Those who lose a fight with these creatures, either die in battle, or become prisoners until they are fed to the Scytod young.
Die or be food. This has made the Scytod a prize trophy for all the other war-like races who see their first kill as a rite of passage.


Note: This race was invented by ThunderChild. He asked me to be his partner and I accepted. I draw the Scytod race and made the fluff. The ships and the idea are ThunderChild creation.
