Astrazoan

Astrazoans are a race of seven-limbed, shapeshifting aberrations who might have originated from Apostae.

In their true form, astrazoans look like starfish with cartilaginous skeletons, jelly-like flesh and seven limbs each. Their eyes are located in the middle of each limb. Astrazoans can imitate the appearance of almost any other creature with the same size by spontaneously changing the shape and pigment of their flesh. Being capable of forming both male and female reproductive organs, astrazoans are hermaphrodites.1

History

Astrazoans have no records of their origins, but it is usually assumed that they first emerged during The Gap. Research has discovered a remarkable similarity between the DNA of an astrazoan volunteer and DNA samples of the ilee, the natives of Apostae who supposedly went extinct during the Gap. It is suggested that the astrazoans might be the descendants of those ilee who genetically transformed themselves to face an extinction-level threat.
