Spawners



Spawners, The Great Plague, The Devourers, The Scourge from J'ith-rieh or The Slavers, a species of sentient fungi that took over the planet called J'ith-rieh in the Yagathian Empire 125 million years ago when their world was destroyed by a large meteor. These telepathic beings are known for their aggressive and hostile nature against other species.

Biology
Spawners were a parasitic species of fungi and animal hybrids that are known for their invasive behavior and also the leading cause of deadly diseases that affected the early Yagathian societies.

They were described as having pale to dark green skin, a tall figure, and muscular bodies covered in long fibrous growths.

The Spawners had whip-like arms and legs that can bend in strange ways, unlike their enemies which gave them an advantage for fighting and escaping from danger.

Their eyes were red and yellow without lids and were able to see into the very essence of any living creature and had a round mouth that curled in the middle.

Reproduction
The Spawners reproduced by releasing a series of spores into the air. Then the spores rapidly grew into the ground. This process was repeated more than once and also in a day the spore grows up to maturity.

When a Spawner gets old and about to die they turn into a solid form and are collected by the others kept as an ornament.

Society
Spawners lacked the technology as the other advanced races and also they never built any colonies on any planets. Instead, they made a nest on the surface of any world they found. The Yagathians mentioned them as slavers and also savages who have been a problem with their presence in the last millions of years.

Hierarchy
The Queen was the ruler of the Spawners and also the nests. She enslaved many races in different worlds and wiped out the native wildlife. Also, she was responsible for the demise of many great races of the universe. However, the Queen of the Spawners was miserably defeated after the Yagathians rebelled against her tyranny.

Behavior
The Spawners did not have the social structure as the Yagathians and also they founded many breeding colonies on other planets.

They mostly invaded worlds to build nests on the surface. When a Spawner was born it became more aggressive and also hostile towards other species.

Sometimes the Yagathians used their parasitic offspring for their experiments and also farmed them like animals in a series of organic chambers.

Rise to Dominance
The Spawners became sentient beings later and enslaved the Yagathians and a rebellion against their captors was carried out.

According to the Eshermekite Papyrus Scrolls: "'No more did the Spawners enslave the Radiant Race...They released all their fury on their slavers. Before the Spawners captured the Radiant Race and also fed on their life force of them... This became a turning point in the annals of their lore...A huge war was fought and countless mortals were lost in the bitter fight...The Spawners eventually were defeated and therefore became aware of Radiant dominance...As for the Radiant Race, they left the wretched scourge to settle worlds beyond the sky ...'"

The Spawner social hierarchy grew into a major power by the time the Yagathians left their colonies. This mythological account of the supremacy of the Yagathian Empire over species that turned into a rebellion was found in later legends of different cultures.

Yagathian and Spawner Wars
The Spawners were eventually defeated by the newly founded Yagathian Empire the war between the two species continued.

Then the Yagathians have captured the Spawners and enslaved most of their former oppressors, and also bred them to only serve their new masters.

However many wars between the two resulted in the creation of the Yagathian society that was run by the Seed Mother.

"'As before mentioned the Yagathians once the servants of these vile and wretched things from J'ith-rieh ...Then came an omen in the skies of Yadagoth and it was said that no more slavery nor bondage shall be upon the Great Race...Yaggoth shall rise against the captors and become a leader of his people...Never again will be an enslaved Radiant Race on the surface of Yadagoth...The Radiants flourished for millions of years after the battle that determined their fate for the next eons... translated from the Eshermekite Papyrus Scrolls"

After the war, the Spawners were exiled to the surface of J'ith-rieh and have remained there ever since. However, some of the Spawners stayed on Yadagoth kept as slaves and also pawns in the Yagathian Empire.
