Skranx drone

Skranx Drone

The skranx drones are physically very diverse, but only because they aren't created by self-replicating cellular biology, but rather intelligent design. They have no genetic code, and their cells cannot multiply at all. However, a skranx host can quickly dissolve and rebuild skranx drones. This often leads to a social structure where one skranx host leads dozens or hundreds of skranx drones, working together with such great coordination that they can frequently be called a "hive mind". Like all hive minds, this group is still composed of individuals, where some of the skranx drones have hundreds of years of personal experiences (as the rebuilding prevents any aging-related death) working under a series of skranx hosts (as they are normal organisms who eventually wither and die).
