Kryavox

The Kryavox are a unique species, in that it is actually a symbiotic relationship between two different organisms, the Xensahu and Nesallons. The Kryavox originated from Arkona, the hostile environment giving the two creatures reason for joining together.

Biology
The Nesallon's body is covered in hair and has four legs. The head is fairly flat, with a set of large bulbous eyes providing good eyesight at the loss of brain power. The Xensahu is a worm-like parasite covered with an exoskeleton. They have strong skeletal tendrils on their underbody that are connected to their neural network, which allows them to pierce skulls and interact with the brain of their host. They are hyper intelligent, especially compared to the Nesallon, and they have no need for food to create energy.

When joined together, the two create the Kryavox, the ideal form that the Xensahu search for. The Xensahu is able to direct the actions and biological activity of the Nesallon. This has led to the body of the Kryavox to grow varying exoskeletal appendages, most commonly a skeletal defense around the head - where the Xensahu hides - and arms. The Xensahu speaks through the mouth of the Nesallon.

Culture
The Kryavox, while being a symbiotic species, do not have equal halves in their society. Together, the Kryavox make up the highest species. Apart, the Xensahu act as the second highest caste in their society, while the Nesallons are little better than slaves. Despite this, the Xensahu treat the Nesallons with respect, due to admiring their form.
