Creatures

В этой статье представлено краткое описание всех существ, населяющих вселенную Космической Станции 13. История происхождения некоторых из них известна: они восходили, превосходили и падали, так же как и люди; другие появились внезапно и неизвестно откуда. Помимо этого, ниже обозначены и исключительно внутристанционные формы жизни.

Виды

У межгалактической корпорации Nanotrasen установлен и развит контакт с некоторыми иноземными видами: вероятно, на станции будут работать их представители, поэтому вам стоит узнать о них подробнее:

Люди

Главные дилеры и зачинщики проблем в известной галактике. Считаются наиболее развитыми в технологическом плане существами.

Таяран

Разновидность ксеноморфов, покрытых густой шерстью и обладающих когтями. Внешняя схожесть с представителем земной фауны дает людям повод называть их кошками — из-за этого каждый уважающий себя таяра может проявить агрессию.

Унатхи

Разновидность рептилоидных гуманоидов, имеющих острые когти и зубы; обычно обладают мощным телосложением и быстрой реакцией. Из-за явных трудностей с использованием человеческой лексики некоторые виды шепелевят. Как и таяран, унатхи так же стали предметом издёвок со стороны людей, что стало причиной множественных агрессивных актов с их стороны.

Скреллы

Раса амфибий-гуманоидов, имеющих темно-зеленую кожу с некоторым пресноватым оттенком и хвосты на голове. Пришли из мира Яргон 4 или, как они его называют, Керрбалак — планеты с влажной атмосферой, богато насыщенной джунглями и болотами. Духовно и технологически развиты лучше людей, делают упор на изучении своего подсознания.

Дионы

Разумные деревья, преодолевающие долгий путь духовного и физического обогащения, чтобы получить возможность соревноваться в умственном развитии с человеком. Растут в несколько стадий, а наши доблестные ботаники нашли способ выращивать их прямо на станции. Хорошо горят, говорят.

СПУ

Роботизированные аналоги человека. Не имеют чувства страха и боли, но развито чувство самосохранения. Не служат ИИ и не следуют ее приказам. Могут обладать знаниями в какой-либо одной профессиональной сфере. Следует приказам в том случае, если они не противоречат его собственным убеждениям.

Воксы

Раса, заслужившая себе репутацию воров и налетчиков. Вооружение состоит из украденного оружия, оборудования, механизмов. При первом же контакте с ними немедленно сообщите в общий радио-канал.

Кида

Раса ксеноморфов. Обладают довольно быстрой регенерацией, по внутреннему и внешнему строению несколько схожи с человеком. Имеют окрас от темно-желтого до темно-коричневого. Наиболее приспособлены к работе в медицинском и инженерном отсеках, здесь им помогают их резвые, длинные конечности. Технологически развиты не хуже людей.

Прочие существа

Ксеноморфы
Пришельцы неизвестного происхождения. Существуют как режим.

	Name	Description
Slime	Slime	Желеобразная разумная субстанция, покрытая слизью. Выводятся ксенобиологами, могут быть проводниками различных химических реакций при введении реагентов. Способны швыряться электрическим зарядом в людей. Лучше держитесь от них подальше, если вы не являетесь ксенобиологом.

NPC

Critters are controlled by the game's artificial intelligence, not to be confused with the AI. This AI is remarkably limited in many respects, which most often manifests in subpar pathfinding and limited reaction to the physics systems that human controlled mobs have to deal with. This makes them unpredictable and frustrating as both allies and opponents.

Critters are divided into four categories:

Pets

	Name	Description
Mouse	Mouse	Wanders around the dark glimpsy maintenances, and squeeks when stepped on. Bonus points if you can find Tom.
	Coffee	A brown crab that wanders around aimlessly on a beach somewhere.
Ian	Ian	Ian spawns in the Head of Personnel's Office. Ian can be dressed up in a variety of hilarious outfits, commonly found in the theater or around the station. Please don't throw him in the laundry machine. If you kill Ian, expect to be lynched. The secret objective for every HoP is to get Ian on the shuttle alive, to return to Centcom.
Runtime	Runtime	Runtime is the pet cat of Medbay. She spawns in the Chief Medical Officer's Office. She is much less fun than Ian as she can't be dressed in silly costumes. If you work in Medbay, your secret objective is to keep her safe, and away from that brute Ian. Runtime likes to chase mice.
	Poly	Poly belongs to the Chief Engineer. Will annoy the hell out of you by stealing objects from your hand. He can also wear and talk over a headset. Lets you know if the singularity escapes Complains about the lack of hardsuits repeatedly.
Pun Pun	Pun Pun	Pun Pun spawns outside of the Bar. If you are the Bartender, you are going to spend most of your shift protecting him from the Chef. This rarely works out well, as if the chef doesn't get him, science does. The first burgers you eat on Space Station 13 are usually made of Pun Pun.
Lamarr	Lamarr	Held in a display case inside in the Research Director's Office. Lamarr is a de-fanged alien facehugger, who likes to harmlessly latch on to people's faces.

Helpful

	Name	Description
Floorbot	Floorbot	Floorbots are one of the station's robotic creations. Normally they repair flooring on any opened space tile, but when hacked, they expose floor tiles to open space instead.
	Cleanbot	Another robotic creation. Cleanbots will always be helpful; even if hacked they still clean floors, albeit in a more sloppy way.
Medibot	Medibot	A creation straight from the bowels of hell. It does not need any chemicals to function properly, and will synthesize its own using nothing but trickery and magic of the devil. If one is created, it will be smited correctly by the medical doctors, however for all the wrong reasons (TAKING OUR JOBS is a popular one).

Neutral

	Name	Description
	Security Robots	A.K.A. Officer Beepsky/Securitron and ED-209. Unless emagged, attacked, in view of a Law Violation, or otherwise provoked, these robots will simply patrol the station. When one spots a criminal, it will rush towards the offender, shooting taser bolts, or swinging a stunclub. After incapacitation, handcuffs will be applied, ready for Security to pick up.
	Lizard	Harmless, and will not attack until you do. Otherwise, they will move off in a random direction every few moments. Not to be confused with lizardpeople.
	Pete the Goat	The (not really) harmless and mostly terrible goat. He spends his time plotting in the Chef's freezer; it's best to leave him there. Not only is Pete a wily and murderous animal, but his caretaker, the Chef, may just have the excuse he's always wanted for making you into a burger. Pete likes to eat space vines.
	Walking Mushroom	Truly neutral, their only purpose is to travel around the area they're in and look adorable. A more sinister property is their ability to warp and slow space-time MURDER EACH OTHER. Only in massive groups is their evil truly realized. One or two as pets are fine, however.
	Space Clown	The lesser-skilled inhabitants of Clown Planet, they mostly mill about the area, occasionally honking. Robust one like the redshirt you are, or talk smack about the Honkmother, and your eardrums will explode at the menacing HONKs, and your body will be ground to dust under the stampede of floppy shoes.
	Cow	Known for their milk, just don't tip them over. Can be milked for milk with a bucket.
	Chicken	Hopefully the eggs are good this season. Lays eggs once in a while, which can result in a chickensplosion.
	Chick	Adorable! They make such a racket though.

Hostile

	Name	Description
	Space Carp	Spess Carp are an alien lifeform that travel through space in schools. Sometimes, space stations will be attacked by a traveling school, and anyone unlucky enough to be outside the protective walls will be attacked. Carp have a chance to stun their victims and attack every tick, doing about 10 brute damage with each bite.
	Giant Spider	Giant spiders that grow from spiderlings, spread webs and attack anyone they encounter, causing brute damage from the hit and toxin damage from the venom they inflict. Changelings have the ability to infest the station with spiderlings that will grow into these.
Facehugger	Facehugger	Facehuggers knock out their victims outright and have a chance to infect them with a deadly xeno embryo. On the other hand, they can usually only attack once before they die and their infectious embryos can be resisted. Facehuggers don't care about masks or most headgear and will tear them off when they leap.
	Space Bear	Space bears can be spawned by cruel admins or mad scientists and will swarm the station, rapidly killing anyone they encounter. Bears will choose their targets one at a time and pursue them, giving a growl to alert their intended victim. Bears can see through windows, but won't break them.
Cosmic Horror	Cosmic Horror	Horrifying, nightmare-inducing monsters from beyond the stars. Cosmic horrors are yellow, blob like creatures that will attack anyone they can find. The Wizard keeps one as a pet.
	Killer Tomato	Spawned from the hydroponic trays of spiteful botanists, these mutant vegetables will hop menacingly after the first living thing they see. You should have eaten your veggies, because now they'll eat you invade harmlessly your personal space!
Visrator	Viscerator	A small flying deployed drone created and manufactured by one of the Major Syndicate Corps, they are hostile towards anything they see and attack using their rotor blades. Considered extremely efficient and are used in infiltrations and hostile take-overs, usually serve as a distraction to a more serious threat.
	Pine Tree	A large, wintry tree. It appears to be a normal evergreen tree that would be perfect for the holidays, but it secretly detests festivities and will assault anybody within range of its menacing branches.. Commonly seen spawned by scientists with gold slimes and too much free time.
	Hivebot	A roaming bee-bot equipped with an attached weapon that fires bullet projectiles that can also come in stronger versions, its rate of fire is slow and is considered moderate in terms of damage. Easily destroyable, however this is countered by being in packs or even in an entire platoon.
Hivelord	Hivelord	Found on the asteroid. These strange creatures will unleash hivelord broods one after another at you whilst trying to keep distant. Fortunately, each of its spawn dies in a single hit, and deal tickle damage. Their remains are known to have curative properties
	Goliath	The bane of many careless miners. Found on the asteroid, these creatures pack a heavy punch, and slip anyone who comes near with four tentacles for better ease of punching. If felled, they leave behind hive plates that can be used to strengthen hardsuits, plus a corpse that can be used to revive with a lazarus injector and terrorize the station paraded as a trophy.
	Basilisk	Fierce, territorial beasts that live on the asteroid, capable of firing freezing beams, cold enough to inflict serious freeze burns while it closes in and attacks its immobilized target. Fortunately, they don't attack unless someone comes very close to them. Drops diamonds upon death.
	Goldgrub	Mostly harmless and quite rare. Found on the asteroid, these creatures swallow up any loose, valuable ore they can find and flee when approached by a human, smashing through even solid rock on their path of escape before burrowing into the ground.
Blob Spore	Blob Spore	Spawns from the Blob Factory. Chases and hits you, and releases spore gas upon death.
	Blob Zombie	If a Blob Spore finds a corpse, it will zombify it and then chase and hit you.
