The Pentajo are a scourge wherever they go. No one knows where they came from as they don't look like they evolved or mutated on Aquatica. Some think that they came through one of the Rifts or from and experiment.

Basic Information

Anatomy

This is a six-legged vermin that has the characteristics of a mouse, roach, and lizard. It has a mouse head with lizard-like skin, 6 legs, patchy fir, armor-like hide over its vitals under its skin, a long-sinnous tail, omnivorous teeth, and a voratious appetite.

Biological Traits

A rare few Pentajo have the ability to eat others' DNA and take on some of their traits for a while. This can include natural weapons, abilities, increased size, etc.

Genetics and Reproduction

Pentajo's have the high birthrate of both a roach and a mouse, and the egg-laying habit of various insects. They have no nurturing drive so just lay their eggs in a protected area near food and water, then leave.
