Draghignazzo

Despite having the appearance of a humanoid shellfish, the Draghignazzo is built up of a colony of other organisms, in which various creatures work together and act as a single life-form. The individual zooid replicates through asexual reproduction and repeated multiplication forms the colony like urochordates, otherwise known as sea squirts. The zooid secretes a peculiar calcium from its body, which covers the whole colony with hard skin. Its length can reach more than ten metres. Most of its skin was hardened in armoured shell and was impervious to conventional gunfire, but there were patches of exposed skin that were vulnerable and gradual destruction of the shell will leave more weak points.

Its form is vaguely humanoid with elements of barnacles that are in a constant state of reproduction. Its main point of attack was its huge arm which could be used as a battering ram or club. The name Draghignazzo means ‘savage dragon’ in Italian and derives from one of the demons in The Divine Comedy.

Offspring

The Draghignazzo, as it reproduced assexaully created larval offspring that were equally as dangerous.
