(Obsolete and unsupported) Xenotype - Murlok

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3523100213



This is the third and final bonus mod that expands the race of creatures featured in my artwork in the Steam Workshop. The mod itself does not add any new genes, the xenotype uses materials from the Vanilla Races Expanded series.


Murloks are a mentally gifted subspecies of the Kotik race, an artificially created race of warriors. The genotype is shown in the screenshot.

If you have the Vanilla Factions Expanded - Pirates mod installed, the Murloks will be added to the mercenary faction (as well as the rest of the Kotiks).

(it is recommended to read the descriptions of the Kotiks and Murks first to understand what we are talking about - https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3136816410 https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3148098486)

The Murloks are the pinnacle of genetic experimentation by the ancient creators of the Kotik race. Increased psychosensitivity has greatly enhanced the Murloks' combat capabilities. Their cold-bloodedness has made them invisible to thermal imaging. Murloks are excellent at navigating in the dark. And being born psychopaths, they have no doubts, no remorse and can follow any order. And they are as unpretentious and hardy as the rest of the Kotiks. Perfect soldiers.

However, they do have some disadvantages. Murloks do not live long (like the rest of their race). Also, their bodies require a lot of resources to function. Genetic engineers solved this problem creatively and endowed the Murloks with a very practical ability to get the necessary substances from the blood of defeated enemies.

Murloks specialized in sabotage operations. As a rule, they sneak up to the enemy under the cover of night (being cold-blooded they were invisible to the enemy's thermal imaging cameras, while they themselves were perfectly oriented in the dark and could exchange commands by telepathy), quickly destroy it, actively using their psionic abilities, drink the defeated enemies dry and retreat, leaving a picture of a terrible massacre. While the regular Kotiks are all-purpose infantry and the Murks are brutal stormtroopers, the Murloks are special forces.

Being psychopaths, the Murloks do not value family ties and clan foundations as highly. They are ambitious and wouldn't mind taking power in Kotik communities into their own hands. The Murloks often have an eerie dream. In it, they live in the dungeons of some post-apocalyptic world and virtually dominate it indiscriminately. Dirty, desperate Kotiks do hard work, maintaining the functioning of ancient mechanisms. And the cruel, lost their nobility Murkas hunt for feral humans living on the surface. It's a strange dream. Fortunately, so far none of the Murloks have managed to realize it (the reason for this is the vigilance of the Murks, who are immune to the Murloks' mental tricks).


There is support for the "Vanilla Psycast Expanded - Biotech Integration" mod.
