Cactarians Species in Ulnaverse: A Humerus Adventure | World Anvil

Cactarians (Cactarians (Take a guess))

Oh god, I don't care about these guys enough to write a bunch. Maybe if I was paid more money?

Basic Information

Anatomy

They stand on a stem or something. I mean like use your imagination. It's probably closer to what they actually look like than you think.   Actually, they are kind of impressive. Massive cactus entities that are the size of large trees standing nearly 78ft tall and weighing several thousand pounds. They move on great spider-like legs which are driven by hydraulic pressure from the water within their bodies. Their ships only ever contain one or two of them as they are too large to make bigger crews practical. Also when their ships are destroyed they shoot out more Cactarian blood than anything else.

Biological Traits

When they die, it's not the waterfall of blood that makes them dangerous. But all the SEEDS that can germinate on your planet. It's gross.   They almost all look the same, except the boss, who always has a mustache on his LCD screen.

Genetics and Reproduction

Pollinate everything, that includes you.

Growth Rate & Stages

They go from being underground, to above ground and spend a lot of time being sedentary. They complain a lot about being at this stage.

Ecology and Habitats

Anywhere I'm not.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Suck.

Biological Cycle

I think they hibernate? I didn't read the briefing one minute...   Ya they hibernate.

Additional Information

Social Structure

Normally found in couple-based groups. Though sometimes they get cheated on.

Domestication

I mean some people are into that.

Uses, Products & Exploitation

They produce a lot of food because they want to eat you. They know if it tastes good, it will fatten you up for the harvest or for their babies to burst out of your chest like the movie Aliens. They're known for their enchiladas, with lots of cheese. I'm drooling already.

Facial characteristics

They don't have a face, instead, they install an LCD screen to use for communication with other species, as well as for their sensory organ. Despite how hostile they are these screens often depict smiley faces or simple messages such as "We are here to get you, do not resist" or "You will become sustenance for our growth."

Geographic Origin and Distribution

They grow like weeds.

Average Intelligence

Space fairing but in this galaxy that doesn't say much. Their warships suck and we keep blowing them out of the sky as they are always hostile to us.    
"Geeze I wonder why?"-Pryzmor Duke of Doot being sarcastic.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

They see through moisture so they are no danger to us skeletons.

Symbiotic and Parasitic organisms

Birds will eat them because they have no way to stop them. Many Cactarians have large chunks of their body missing as they have been pecked at and slowly eaten by avian creatures they can't catch.

Civilization and Culture

Major Organizations

Cactaro Saguaros station is one of the best restaurants in the galaxy just past the sol nebula. They leave skeletons alone so go try it out some time!

History

Long ago the Galactans started a genetics program for the purpose of gaining a fast-growing food source. This obviously backfired in the extreme resulting in the Cactarians. Then one person killed another and its like Humans history from there. Its all in an ancient dialect called "Spa-nash".
