S'glhuoan
S'glhuoans, also known as Death Angels or simply the Creatures, are a species of super-evolved extraterrestrial predators that arrived on Earth in a number of meteors. They are the spawn of Tru'nembra who is one of the Ogdru Jahad.
Description[]
S'glhuoans are emaciated, vaguely humanoid creatures whose entire bodies are covered by many plates of chitinous armor. They are stated to be "evolutionary perfect" machines that evolved to withstand firearms and even the destruction of their own planet. They also possess arms with prehensile digits, but they are only ever observed using their limbs for locomotion. They have abnormally sharp claws that are strong enough to cut through trucks and metal, and it is their main weapon for killing their prey. They are also inhumanly fast, able to travel miles in a minute, quickly moving to locations faster than their prey can react.
Due to their lack of eyes, the S'glhuoans hunt by sound, and are completely blind. They have sensitive plates lining the front of their faces that can extend and contract to help them gauge the direction of where a sound is coming from. The back of their heads are capable of unfolding into massive ear-like structures with pronounced, slimy eardrums. Using these, they can detect even the most subtle of changes in sounds as little as a floorboard creaking miles away. S'glhuoans also do not need to breathe, sleep, or even eat, and are able to survive in seemingly any climate.
History[]
Background[]
S'glhuoans were spawned by Tru'nembra, a lesser member of the Ogdru Jahad though it is unspecified if Tru'nembra mated with another eldritch entity or spawned them asexually; it is speculated that given their arachnoid physiology Tru'nembra likely mated with Atlach-Nacha. They were bred and left on the planet S'glhuo in a faraway galaxy, though the planet itself was lightless and is described as a hell world with much harsher conditions and higher gravity than Earth. This pushed their evolution to develop features such as relying on echolocation instead of sight, possessing impenetrably hard armor, and greater strength in Earth's gravity.
They existed for nearly a millennia before an asteroid carried them to Earth. It is revealed that the S'glhuoans have been intercepted by another alien race called Trisolarans, who were pursuing the S'glhuoans in a cluster of meteors to prevent them from destroying other planets. Unfortunately, some of the meteors latched onto their ships and the S'glhuoans began to massacre the crew from within.
Death Angel Invasion[]
The ship crash-landed in Somerville with the power of a nuke, where the S'glhuoans emerged relatively unscathed and began spreading across the nation. They killed anything and everything that made noise, assisted by an incredibly powerful sense of hearing far beyond anything produced on the Earth. This combined with their impenetrable armor, allowing them to fight off any resistance, until they were confronted and pushed back by the combined might of the Federal Bureau of Control and the Global Occult Coalition.
The FBC formed a temporary task force called Omega-7 which consisted of three individuals that wield anomalous extraterrestrial capabilities with one of them having the means to fully neutralize the S'glhuoans. While they have successfully eliminated the threat of the S'glhuoans, the FBC resorted to a mass administering of amnestics that were to be given to any who witnessed or were attacked by the aliens. However, the FBC would confine and study a lone surviving S'glhuoan for further study before having it be scheduled for termination.
