 They are the bane of spacers, the Ndunchelurm are those that feed. From out of the darkness of derelict & dead ships these inorganic insects are often the last sights a spacer sees. 
They feed on all types of matter processing it within themselves via nano factories. These monsters can break down many types of organic & inorganic material. They often eat their weight & within a 49 hour period they lay dormant & hidden breaking into 9 smaller creatures. 
They're bite does 1d4 points per strike & they have a bio acid that breaks down anything it touches which the creatures reabsorb at their leisure. 
The creatures shouldn't be handled physically for they sting with a series of horrible acidic secretions that do 1d8 points of damage to those handling them. 
They often wallow or bath in the contents of their victims & leave a series of egg rings behind them.  These will hatch in 1d4 years if left alone 
If disturb the eggs hatch within 1d10 rounds!  
 These monsters are found just about everywhere but the application of hard radiation baths will kill them. This can be done in most space ports . There is a 30% chance that they will appear again though if the space port misses the infestation! 
The call parasite super science power may be used to summon them or dismiss them but they are a surly creature at best & there is a 20% chance they may turn on their master. A creature who matched the depths & darkness of space.

  1. Space is full of dire parasites and infestations! The spacer life is obviously not for the faint of heart. ;)

  2. Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: I may throw up on you.
    James T. Kirk: I think these things are pretty safe.
    Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: Don't pander to me, kid. One tiny crack in the hull and our blood boils in thirteen seconds. Solar flare might crop up, cook us in our seats. And wait till you're sitting pretty with a case of Andorian shingles, see if you're so relaxed when your eyeballs are bleeding. Space is disease and danger wrapped in darkness and silence.
    James T. Kirk: Well, I hate to break this to you, but Starfleet operates in space.
    Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: Yeah. Well, I got nowhere else to go, the ex-wife took the whole damn planet in the divorce. All I got left is my bones.
