Description Vascrivoreis are serpentine predators with glossy, iridescent eyes and backs bristling with flexible spines of partially corporeal necrotic energy. They also feed on negative energy, absorbing it from the environment or irradiating prey, which slowly decays into a suitable meal. The mouth of a vascrivorei is guarded by scores of thin, articulated mandibles, each as dexterous as a humanoid finger— the creatures are unsettlingly adept at manipulating doors and other devices with these features. The hides of Vascrivorei display distorted versions of their meals: abstractions in shades of black, purple, and blue. As a vascrivorei grows, it sheds its skin, and over time its habitat becomes an eerie archive of violence recorded on its own discarded hides. Though most grow no larger than a cargo container or small home, vascrivoreis in particularly blasted regions can be as large as starships. In the absence of entropic forces, the creatures diminish in size and enter a dormant state that can last centuries.
