Return to Antagonist Portal

Mindflayers are IPCs who bonded with a swarm of nanomachines. The swarm posesses the power to extract and use the brain-energy from sapient beings. They are antagonists who actively seek out crewmembers and drain them for the goal of strenghtening themselves and completing their objectives. Their powers can be inhibited by a Nanite Pacifier implant, which can be ordered at any Nanotrasen supply department, and the presence of a swarm can be revealed by feeding an IPC who has extracted brain-energy `Conductive lube`.

Powers

Mindflayer powers are divided into two base categories. Passive and active abilities. Passive abilities are all immediately available for purchase, but the active abilities require an ability of the previous stage to be purchased. Active abilities are divided into subclasses, where at the end there will be a strong ability for purchase. Subclasses can contain passive abilities.
