Spew Spawn

Spew Spawn (Kiik, V ii ), colloquially Spew, are a subterranian species originating on the X Class planet Kyykv. A Spew resembles a rodent, with the legs, eyes, and mandibles of an arachnid. Since their initial discovery on then-known planet Sludge, Spew have been found on a number of other worlds.

Biology
Very little is known about Spew Spawn biology; when attempts are made to capture and study the creatures, a Spew will literally liquify itself into a caustic, vitriolic substance. A concentrate of this substance is assumed to be what holds Kyykv together. It is presumed that Spew Spawn live in underground colonies, comprised of a number of sterile workers, and one reigning Queen. It is generally agreed upon that Spew are birthed as the substance they revert to in death.

Lore
Spew Spawn were discovered by Drills In Space founder Frank Goohey on his inital descent to Kyykv. To him, they appeared to "... spew from the ground, out of the [hills] ... like sludge."

YYY accept them as peaceful creatures and part of their culture.
