TELTEIN
The Teltein also known as metal eaters are some creatures that tend to live in some forgotten ruins of other races or in areas filled with metal.
They have a strong exoskeleton partially imbued with metal structure and not just organic compounds. They have a long body with 10 legs and 2 arms that end in some metal reinforced sharp blades. Around their body there are some orange parts that they can increase the temperature with a chemical reaction inside their body, they use this to help with ingesting metal, also is a source of light. Some of its internal mechanisms are kind of more comparable to a machine than a biological creature, but these creatures still are biological and seems to be the product of evolution on some unknown world.
They are able to manipulate the shape of the metal parts of their body to some degree showing some sort of specialization in their social groups. Some get something more similar to blades, and others something more similar to blunt tools to hit the metal. Their metal part on the head can change the shape showing a bit of their role in their group. The Teltein system is not too complex but they show some degree on group culture.
They can move quickly using their multiple legs and with their sharp ends they can stick into walls or surfaces, or quickly climb.
Teltein are attracted by places that have metal but also have some other creatures around since they need both to survive. They are not too active hunters and tend to gather in their long metal processing ingestion, when they hear some creature roaming close, all of them will go for the hunt together.
On battle they can use the same abilities they use to digest the metals, making them more dangerous and also prepared to confront metal constructions or armors effectively.
The Teltein tend to go to some abandoned metal constructions or ruins, they can travel through fog preparing themselves and spread around multiple places of the world. Sometimes some groups split in search of new places, although they don’t attack places that are already populated. But if they get a territory they will strongly protect it.
