Sheegoth

Sheegoths are large predatorial creatures native to Tallon IV. Mostly inhabiting cold areas, such as Phendrana, Sheegoth bury themselves in snow, then burst up to attack prey. Young Sheegoth, whose energy crystals have not developed, have a sensitive back plating which can be broken, exposing the baby Sheegoth's muscles, which, if damaged, can lead to death. Baby Sheegoth are more agile than adults, and they can fire ice balls at prey or use a supercold breath to freeze enemies.

Adult Sheegoth, however, develop energy crystals on their back and are not longer vulnerable there. They lose their agility as they age, and can now only walk very slowly; however, they can still charge, if angered to such a point. Adults actually have eyes, and thus can locate prey better. Like younglings, they too can utilize supercold breath or balls of ice to stun enemies. Their energy crystals can absorb most beam weapons, rendering them useless. A Plasma Beam can damage them, though. After using an supercold breath or ice ball attack, adults are prone to hyperventilate. When they do so, they are vulnerable. Adult Sheegoth are rare.
