365 Danger

Within a few seconds, several hundred Digestors hatched.The smallest were the size of a large tarantula while the largest were as massive as an elephant and often much heavier.

Although the morphology of these monsters was diverse, they all shared certain traits, the result of their adaptation to this hostile environment.

Whether they had pointed insect legs, pads or webbed limbs, they all had a down of thorns allowing them to easily adhere to the slightest asperity. Their silvery sheen was a constant reminder that putting your hand on these hairs would be as stupid as trying to stroke a porcupine.

In the absence of atmosphere, these Digestors had also developed their own means of propulsion in space. Whether they had wings or not, they had strange limbs hollowed out on the inside, most often resembling long cables or sometimes simply looking like large holes inside the limbs, their wings and even their backs.
