Akata

Few creatures inspire more dread in isolated explorers and lonely space stations than the breathless, leonine akatas, which infest creatures with parasites to transform them into ravenous void zombies. Members Akata (Creature 1), Void Zombie (Creature 1) Noqual Cocoons Despite its glassy appearance, an akata's cocoon is made of a rare starmetal known as noqual. Noqual is as hard as iron and has many applications in modern manufacturing since it's easy to work with, resistant to magic, and lightweight. Unfortunately, the noqual that forms an akata's cocoon is too low quality for most engineering projects, but it sometimes finds a home with collectors or museums instead.
