Extirpates

"'Extirpates finding your Timeline isn't necessarily a bad thing, as long as you've already lived a fulfilling and complete life without regrets.'""-Unknown"The Extirpates are a race of Dimension-faring crustaceans/insects, which travel in large swarms and consume Timelines.

Crab variant
A normal extirpate is around 3 feet tall, they are covered in smooth, pink skin and have four short black, crab-like legs. They crawl on the ground or wall, and can be carried by the Bipedal Variant,

Bipedal variant
This type of extirpate is bigger, around 5 feet. They stand up on their hind legs and have grown antenna stalks. They possess increased strength but are slower, and can even piggyback smaller extirpates.

Mutations
When extirpates invade a Timeline, it's expected to happen quickly, within the span of 1-3 hours. As Extirpates continue to pour in, something unusual happens. Rare Extirpates will appear, some having an antenna stalk or a conjoined twin, or perhaps another extirpate growing off of it.

General
The Extirpates consume the raw energy of a Timeline, resulting in it being utterly destroyed without a trace. Despite appearing simple and round, Extirpates are very hard to kill, being heavily resistant to plasma, bullets, fire, explosives, and weaponry. The only groups who know how to deal with Extirpates are The Egonians and the Quantum Lords.

Although where they came from is unknown, it is theorized to be the Inner-Void, due to the otherworldly nature of the extirpates, and their effectiveness against Timelines.

Extirpate invasion
Being Mythril-ranked, and having a spot in the list, an Extirpate invasion is fatal.

Here is a sentence taken from the Official Quantum Timeline Danger Guide:"'How to escape in the event of an Extirpate invasion: Shoot yourself in the head. We don't think they can follow you into the afterlife!'""- Page 231, Extradimensional Horrors."If you possess a means of Quantum travel it is highly advised, to put it simply, to get the HELL out of there. Quantum portals to the most similar-Timeline will be available to the public, for whoever can reach them in time. Any soldier or warrior who is not phased by existential dread is welcomed to help slow down the extirpate approach. If you happen to know any Egonians or quantum Lords, give them a call. The Egonians, after studying their anatomy and attack patterns, have figured a way to drive off Extirpates, and what technology to use to kill them.

The Egonians have once used a pack of Extirpates to infiltrate dimension: CA once, forming a temporary beneficial partnership. The Egonians seized their technology, and the Extirpates fed upon the Timeline.
