Humanimal Bestiary:
Despite the devastating effects of the first disaster at the main headquarters and testing facility, the Fjellerke Corporation managed to stay afloat, now operating subtly in the background, still continuing further research and development, with these being the documented descriptions of most of the recently discovered Humanimal variants and types found in the wild and continuing to clean up the aftermaths skirmishes with opening rifts.

SNPC Info
- [Humanimal Sentinel] -
Deep within the heart of a Humanimal hive, an enigmatic process unfolds, birthing the Sentinel. Their origins are veiled in the same shadows that shroud the darkest corners of the hive. These remarkable beings were former humans, subjected to a brutal process that left them mutilated and barely recognizable. Now, they serve as the hive's Sentinels, watching over the inner and outer security with an unwavering vigilance. Their towering presence acts as a formidable deterrent to any who dare approach. Not only is the Sentinel's role reserved for security, but these creatures also double as caretakers, tending to the fragile inhabitants within the hive. Their very existence is a testament to the intricate, macabre design of the Humanimal hive, a place where life, death, and evolution entwine in a dark dance. The Sentinels, formerly human, now embody the hive's secrets, guarding its security and nurturing its inhabitants, all while bearing the scars of its brutal upbringing.

- [Humanimal Elder Sentinel] -
Within the dark depths of a Humanimal Hive, you may encounter an Elder Sentinel, being much larger than their younger counterparts, harbingers of age and experience. With their darker, browner, tougher exteriors and piercing orange eyes, they stand as formidable guardians. The transformation into an Elder Sentinel is a slow, painful and natural progression, occurring after several years of life. Their size and enhanced lethality make them a force to be reckoned with, their presence a testament to the unforgiving evolution within the Hive.

- [Humanimal Labourer] -
Former humans subjected to a brutal transmutation procedure, the Humanimal Labourers bear little resemblance to their past selves. Their skin, if it remains, is blood-red, and torn, and skeletal bones protrude, with finger bones sharpened into weapons. Devoid of gender features, their exposed skulls hint at their former humanity. Tasked as both security and a labour force within the Hive, they endure gruesome toil.

- [Humanimal Labourer (Reinforced)] -
These Labourer species emerge as formidable combatants, undergoing a brutal, prolonged transformation process, bearing increased muscle growth contrasting to their emaciated counterparts, specifically engineered to combat any threat that dares to encroach onto the hive's territory.

- [Humanimal Flesh Altar] -
A grotesque amalgamation of flesh and bone, the Humanimal Flesh Altar, can be found within the dark depths of the hive, with it being a pulsating centrepiece with enigmatic healing powers, tending to the fragile inhabitants of the Hive.

- [Humanimal Parasite] -
A strange organic life form, afflicted by the same mysterious force as the Humanimals, they share a symbiotic relationship, drawing sustenance from their hosts, mutating, and adapting. Meanwhile, their hosts gain protection as the parasites disembark, detaching from their hosts to rush to their defence and join the fight when the host body suffers from physical harm. The only effective method to dispatch these pests is with fire, as they burn along with the host's body.

- [Humanimal Buglin Nest] -
An amalgamation of flesh, the nest SNPC serves as a passive life form, harbouring up to a dozen Parasites within its grotesque form, releasing them upon its demise.

- [Humanimal Spire] -
A towering support structure, its mass woven from the living flesh and bones of those who succumbed to the Humanimals, the monolithic spires possess a multitude of varying capabilities. When stirred by threats, they birth new entities, serve as central coordinators for Hive activities, and emit guiding pheromones that lead and unify nearby Humanimal colonies.

- [Humanimal Custodian] -
Birthed from excess biomass during the nascent stages of a hive, this cast emerges as an early dedicated security force. Initially discovered in the isolated forests of Sweden, these early guardians exhibit heightened size, speed, and lethality. Acting as custodians during the vulnerable phase of hive creation, they are swift and deadly, designed to swiftly respond to threats and protect the incipient hive, yet lacking a hardened carapace or armour compared to their evolved counterparts.

- [Humanimal Custodian-Scion] -
These Custodians are stubbier and shorter in size, yet garner the impeccable ability to leap an extensive distance close distance quickly to catch up with their designated target.

- [Humanimal Warden] - A large hulking behemoth, a mix between the custodian and sentinel and prowess, as the warden harnesses a heavily reinforced carapace of the sentinel, whilst garnering the speed, agility and mobility of the custodian to an extent, being able to leap vast distances, regardless of their size and weight.

- [Humanimal Floater] -
A very strange specimen, being bloated and hunched over due to the strange pulsating masses moulted onto their back, they come in various forms, but it is theorised that these casts of Humanimals act as mobile, living parasite nests, as some variants are able to regurgitate a projectile mass, that when ruptured, releasing a few live parasites.

- [Humanimal Cocoon] -
An organic, stationary organism that nurtures and births various Humanimal species when ruptured, it is unknown the specific factors that dictate what is specifically birthed from the cocoon, but it is suggested that the species of Humanimal born is related in tangent with the number of nutrients supplied to the being in it's fetal development state within the cocoon, influencing the cast and role of the Humanimal when birthed.

Question. How successful is a "Successful" Assimilation of an individual.

Like, around 85% of the time.

But what happens to the failed assimilated?

They would be either euthanized, exiled, or isolated from the main nest.

Also. mind adding the Fleshweaver to the bestiary and also. Who or what is needed to start the process normally?
