Succbeast invasion

The term "Succbeast" is a local colloquialism, the scientific name is Gelatina Automata.

The creatures seem to be comprised entirely of a strange black goo with a texture somewhere between rubber and truck bed liner as it comes in a can before it dries. The only distinguishable orifice is the mouth, lined with a pair of neon green lips that secrete a potent aphrodisiac and adhesive. The body is typically feminine with pronounced "breasts" and "hips" that are purely cosmetic, there is no known instance of one having a solid form beneath the gelatinous material. This state of being made of slime also allows them to squeeze through any crevice given enough time and gives them limited shape mimicry abilities such as forming their limbs into a more appropriately bludgeon shape to escape confinement into a glass tank, in one notable instance.

Gelatina Automata lack individual personalities but seem to be capable of intelligent hunting and self-preservation tactics. They prefer to hunt in packs of four and have one member lure in prey to restrain before surrounding them and beginning the conversion process. While they are capable of vocalization it seems to be a form of mimicry designed to lure in other species and, more disturbingly, to taunt captured prey. Their primary vocalization is the word "help", but through observation they can learn new ones. They also make the sounds of female moaning to draw others to them.

When injured they are known to flee and use their gelatinous form to it's fullest ability to hide from danger. Their only consistent weakness seems to be from incendiary weapons, which completely incinerate their biomass. Other methods may cause more harm than good as severed portions of biomass retain autonomy and can return to the hive to be recombined into a new host body or assist in defeating predators by restraining them.

When captured by Gelatina Automata the creatures attempt to subdue prey by locating the primary respiratory orifice and "sucking" or "kissing" in an attempt to induce unconsciousness by way of asphyxiation. After subduing the prey by any means necessary and by any amount of individual Gelatina Automata the creatures will begin to envelope the captured prey in their own bodies, which will secrete more biomass onto them forming a cocoon. The biomass is described as inducing digital numbness and feelings of euphoria. This is to ease the prey into being broken down at the subatomic level and converted into more biomass, from which multiple Gelatina Automata can emerge.

It is speculated that the hive contains a large specimen responsible for controlling all instances of Gelatina Automata mentally, a queen bee if you will, but due to the immense danger involved in locating the hive AND surviving an expedition this is pure hypothetical theory. Nobody has made it close to the hive and remained human.
