>>5516283>On a scorching hot planet covered in volcanic activity appeared the Galamantra, parasitic in nature and their host an intelligent species on their home planet. Eventually they gained intelligence themselves, and after a bloody civil war gained control of their host species. From there they developed rapidly. New and improved host bodies were biologically engineered - the bigger the better. In time, the Galamantra split into castes. A lower caste, to control smaller hosts and perform menial tasks. A higher caste, to strengthen their souls through cultivation and manipulate stronger and stronger hosts. A single phrase defined the relationship between the two: "Survival of the fittest." At the end of their civilization's lifecycle, the strongest of their species were astronomically sized, with the ability to survive in space and doom planets. However, pure strength could not save them from having used up all their reachable resources, and after a period of internal turmoil, they began to dwindle. In the end they determined that their only chance left to migrate to space at large was to return to their parasitic nature, relying upon another civilization to pass part of themselves on.[Desire: New, stronger flesh. Personality: Survival of the fittest.]
