"Levitacean Phungoidian"

---homeworld: the Shallow-Marsh Planet

---Perpetually levitating, thanks to internal gaseous buoyancy; and able to maneuver thanks to telekinetics.

---Gaseous emissions are potent enough to ward away hostile lifeforms.

---Prehensile tenticular-feelers can elongate & extend outward by a sizable distance, before further splitting into smaller mycelium-fingers, to touch & examine things.

---Optical orbs all over this entity's body provide the ability to see from every direction simultaneously.

---The decentralized cellular structure of this fungal alien allows both reproduction & regeneration from very miniscule amounts of the organism's body, so there's no threat of any lasting injury.

---Capable of tucking the two halves of double-ended mushroom-body together in a mode reminiscent of a U.F.O., this alien can transport companions not only through the atmosphere of planets... but also traverse outer-space with them all as protected passengers!

---Symbiotic spores able to impart knowledge directly to others by ingraining themselves into neural networks & implanting memories from the Phungoidian, which bypasses the tedium of the learning process for everyone.

---homeworld: the Ocean Planet

---Anatomy permits swimming / slithering / flying over a wide variety of environments.

---Able to naturally generate huge bubbles, which act as both protective barriers (although they pop after absorbing one attack) and provide companions with air to breathe underwater for exploring aquatic areas together.

---homeworld: the Mountain Planet

---Super-strong alien-Mammalian able to bust obstacle-boulders with tusks or use bear-paws to pick them up & toss.

---Able to climb cliffs and carry companions at the same time.

---Able to tunnel through the solid-stone & metal-ore which composes the Mountain Planet, in order to create new pathways through otherwise-impassable sections of terrain.

---Dedicated in honour of the middle-school friend who introduced PSO to me & played offline together.

---homeworld: the Forest Planet

---Able to quickly climb the bark-cliffs of home-planet's huge trees and leap between their prodigious branches, as well as utilize massive leaves like trampoulines.

---This species is EXTREMELY loyal to allies. naturally charismatic & hyper-energetic, these aliens always put their group of companions into a really good mood.

---Dedicated to a middle-school friend who played PSO offline with me, as well as her original-character from back when we first met.

---homeworld: the Frozen-Ocean Proto-Planetoid

(This moon-sized planet orbits a much larger world, but the two globes each have distinctly different climates & separate atmospheres. The Frozen-Ocean Proto-Planetoid's frigid environment is due to generally being blocked from getting direct light from the solar-system's sun-star by the bigger sphere it orbits)

---Thanks to carcharadonian cartilage, this alien is EXTREMELY flexible & its unusually bendable body enables rapid running/rolling/ricocheting/spinning/stretching/swinging spaztikness.

(Hence making a superb hyper-parkour artist in futuristic cityscapes)

---In addition to all the back-flipping & bouncing around, this alien's surging speed also allows usage of those three dorsal fins as if they were a buzzsaw to slice straight through obstacles.

---Those dorsal fins also double as wings for flight.

---Despite getting stereotyped as brutish due to its appearance, this alien is actually very mechanically-inclined & exhibits great skill at repairing/maintaining/moidfying space-ships with delicate precision that seems surprising for a creature with such monstrous musculature.

---Super-reliable & ever-helpful to both comrades & strangers, this alien is always quick to extend a hand for anyone who's space-craft crash-lands.

---During earlier misadventures, this particular Sharkasaur crossed paths many times with a certain Mantis-Scorpion ( https://www.pso-world.com/forums/sho...=1#post3481717 )

---Dedicated to the elementary-school friend who has remained on the periphery of my life for the longest duration without ever completely drifting apart; as well as his original-character from back when we first met.
