Space Eel

"My word. Have you ever seen anything so repulsive?"
Those were the reputed words of Elk Wilson himself when he stepped out the shower onto one of these. Indiginous to space, these creatues vary widely in size and strength but are more than able to deliver a stinging bout of slime when they feel threatened. Despite this, they're recommended as the basic foodstuff for the newcomer's appetite for killing things. As with earth, they can be considered "MOSTLY HARMLESS"

Space Eel Mother

"Yum?"
Slightly more meaty than their spawn, when Elk Wilson stepped on one of THESE, aesthetics were the last thing on his mind. Quite how he stepped on one is another matter. The space eel mother is, as expected, a slightly tougher nut to crack (or make splat in satisfying ways in this case) but shouldn't be shied away from by any means. As Elk himself says: "Give 'em a poke and see what happens."
Just... Not good for eating.

  • 3x Acid Eel Slime

Space Eel Warrior

"If you eat a SEW, you'll be quite unwell" OLD PORK PROVERB
From fins to pincer-type things, clearly a beak is immediately the thing that comes to mind when you think of the next stage in evolution for an eel. Funnily enough, these aren't steps up in evolution, but different classes of the same animal - in this case, the pelican.
Well as they say, you learn something new everyday!
These come somewhere between rogue pirate and master pirate in difficulty (or before rogue? Someone elaborate please!).

  • 7x Acid Eel Slime
  • 3x Huge Eel Spike
  • 300 shield, 1,400 armor, 800 hull
  • 663 XP

Sentry Drone

sentry_drone_x256.png

*Sigh* "Not again."
If sentry drones could talk, I'm fairly sure this phrase would rank fairly highly in vocabulary commonly used by them - they are a VERY easy kill. Left behind from the great tiddly-wink war of '52, they were used to protect high-ranking generals. However, these drones quickly and suddenly found themselves unemployed when they didn't notice the enemy walk past them during lunchtime. With nothing left to protect, they spend their days muttering insults to the nearest nearbye creature; when no-one's looking, of course.

  • 6x 2 MJ Pulse
  • 1,050 armor, 500 hull
  • drop 1 m3 anti-matter.x32.png
  • 53-86 XP

Rogue Pirate

rogue_pirate_x256.png

"OAAAAAARRRR"
Captain Paddle was the pioneer of space pirating. He didn't have an eye patch or a beard. In fact he was the most disappointing pirate the galaxy has known and so was included in public circles. In fact, it's hard to find any evidence that he did anything illegal at all... Unfortunately for we noble travelers, the luckless individuals who have lost their way and are classified as 'Rogue Pirates' aren't quite as unrecognizable. They WILL have your guts for garters but give it a couple of weeks and you should be able to take them down. Unfortunately, they're dead poor and it's a bit of an anti-climax when you find a couple of tonnes of light ore. Pirates. Gr.

  • 2x 500 KJ Laser

  • 720 shield, 950 armor, 480 hull

  • 429 XP
  • Influence per Mission: 25
  • Rank 5

Master Pirate

master_pirate_x256.png

"Only 1 thing is worse than a pirate: 2 pirates.
That famous proverb sums up the master pirate. Think ye of a rogue pirate and times it by two and a bit and: Voila. Happyjoy, we arrive at the 'master pirate.' These 'pesky rascals' have sussed that sitting there waiting to get attacked isn't the most successful tactic. These 'blighters' go even as far as ambushing! I know; what has the world come to? On the bright side, once you get to their level though, their spoils are much more satisfactory than their predecessors.

  • 4x 10 MJ Pulse Laser
  • 6x 2 MJ Pulse Laser
  • 2x Tiny Omega Canon
  • Z-001
  • X-1100
  • 920 shield, 1490 armor, 580 hull

Vorpal Fang

vorpal_fang_x256.png

"Your face looks like a Vorpal Fang"
Oh. Oh. The sweet scent of nostalgia. Who hasn't been called a Vorpal Fang on the virtual playground? Mmmmm... Aside from that, according to Pork Mythology, Vorpal Fangs were the foot mould of the great giant Daisy Boo. 1 thing's for sure, spraying them with obnoxious chemicals won't do you a lot of good - once they hold on, they don't let go (well, to an extent - it'd be pretty silly if it held on for ETERNITY). Yeah. Not comfort killing for beginners.

  • 3x Small Vorpal Teeth (28 damage)
  • 4x Large Vorpal Teeth (45 damage)
  • 2x Vorpal Acid Spit (34 damage)
  • 2,425 armor, 800 hull
  • 2,026-2,803 XP
  • Influence per Mission: 81
  • Rank 9

Interstellar Wasp

interstellar_wasp_x256.png

"I'd rather be a wasp than eat vegetables"
Needless to say, President Brian McDuh was a bit... questionable. McDuh declared war on vegetables back in the year of the Small Grunting Crisp Packet and greengrocers have never fully recovered since - Especially due to constant raids from these beasties. Interstellar Vegetable Consuming Wasps (or more commonly known as just 'Intersteller Wasps') are particularly fond of courgettes - causing much controversy over whether they actually are a vegetable or not. Clearly, such petty arguments are irrelevant when you're confronted with one of these. I think McDuh would recommend a wee bit of practice before waving a carrot in front of this insect.

  • 8x Wasp Claws (52 damage)
  • Wasp Bite (500 damage)
  • 1,175 shield, 2,925 armor, 900 hull
  • 3,036-3,882 XP
  • Influence per Mission: 100
  • Rank 10

Space Jelly

"Not for eating."
The space jelly is in fact related to a branch of the canine family. How it made this tranformation from its original species is... quite a mystery. More of this description when I've actually found one!

  • 8x Jelly Stinger
  • 1,800 shield, 200 armor, 1,200 hull
  • drop 1 m3 water.x32.png
  • 478-1,850 XP
  • Influence per Mission: 121
  • Rank 11

Spectral Wisp

"You don't want to pick on me. I'm related to a smidgen of semi-transparent energy"
The seventh emporer of Pork, after successfully establishing his throne through questionable means, definately had a point. This is yet another creature which has stirred debate amongst those with nothing better to do. Some say this lifeform is in fact remiscent of the dead and its trans-dimensional nature makes it hazy round the edges... Others say that that it's the result of an immensely proftable remote ISP that somehow lost its way in the realms of cyberspace... And others still demand that it actually refers to colourful men who hunt small birds.
However all this isn't really important - all you need to know is that they're not suitable for small children (or for that matter, big ones).

  • 10x Electro Shock
  • 600 shield, 1,800 armor, 200 hull
  • 768-1,993 XP
  • Influence per Mission: 169
  • Rank 13

Space Monkey

space_monkey_x256.png

"So err... Where did the suit come from?"
That, is the greatest second greatest unsolved mystery known to philosophers to date but some speculate that it is in fact the next step in the evolutionary cycle for us. However attempts to communicate don't go very far as the pulses emitted by the monkey are detrimental to the structural integrity of most ships (quite how this works in a vacuum I'm not sure...) and no instruments can yet get past this rather curious barrier in communication. Needless to say, if you've fresh earned your wings, speaking to this buckoe should NOT be at the top of your list (let alone nabbing his 'nana).

  • 15x Monkey Shriek (88 damage)
  • Flying Banana (900 damage)
  • 1,800 shield, 100 armor, 1,200 hull
  • 4,410 XP
  • Influence per Mission: 196
  • Rank 14

Shambling Morass

"The Shambling Morass is really not a very nice thing"
Ah, doesn't the nursery rhyme bring back waves of nostalgia...? Don't touch if you value your insides.

  • 12x Shambling Bite
  • Shambling Torpedo
  • 600 shield, 1,600 armor, 1,400 hull
