Alien: Xenomorph XX121 for Stars Without Number

 

“Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.”

-- H.G. Wells, The War of the Worlds

The Khunds control a vast galactic empire and in the 30th century, their relationship with the United Planets fluctuates between uneasy détente and open warfare. When the U.P. first discovered the Khundian civilization, the Khunds responded by attempting to conquer Earth.

Khundia itself is perpetually eclipsed by its own moon, making it a dark and dreary world. Choking on its own overly dense population, the world has become totally overrun by a mentality of total militarism and violence. Even a person jostled in the streets will settle the ensuing argument in the so-called court of combat, a form of trial by combat, which is often fatal.

Legion of the Super-Heroes: Durlans Origin for Stars Without Number

   

Durlan

They are natural metamorphs that are able to act like the person or animal they have morphed into. They are able to alter their vocal cords to sound like anyone but are limited to their own personal knowledge of their language and speech pasterns. 

A durlan can shape its own physical form as a Main Action, transforming into any humanoid form within 50% of its own mass. Claws and other body armaments can be fashioned equivalent to Light or Medium melee weapons and innate armor equivalent to AC 13. Gills and other environmental-survival alterations, as well as flight, are also viable at the GM’s discretion.

A person can be impersonated down to the DNA level, provided a blood or hair sample is available. 

Durlans have an Effort score of 1 which is used to fuel their shapeshifting. Shapeshifting requires the durlan to commit Effort as an Instant action for as long as they maintain that form.

Star Wars: Togruta Origin for Stars Without Number

  

Togruta

They were a species of humanoids whose skin spanned a vast array of colors, including, but not limited to, orange, green, red, white, and yellow. These characteristics were a result of evolution; Togruta coloration was helpful as a method of camouflage from predators. Unlike most humanoids, Togrutas were known to have multiple stomachs, however, their most notable features were the large organic head formations upon their heads; two large cone-like horns called montrals atop their skull, and three lekku, also known as headtails, that sprouted downward. Both a Togruta's lekku and montrals tended to grow longer as they aged, with females having longer lekku than the males. A Togruta's montrals allowed them to sense the movement of objects around them through echolocation, and could sense up to 85 feet.

Gain Notice and Stealth as bonus skills. When rolling Notice skill checks roll 3d6 and drop the lowest die.

Booboks are humanoid owls that tend to live in bogs and swamps. They grow to a height of 5 to 7 feet tall and can weigh as much as 180 pounds. Sorcerers have been known to take these creatures as familiars since they can often protect the magic-user better than most creatures. If bonded as a familiar the boobok gains primitive sentience and can telepathically communicate with its master.  If a boobok is killed and it is a familiar the sorcerer must make a Magic Saving Throw or take 4d6 damage.
