The Devi Intellect are a Minor Non-Human Race with a Non-humanoid appearance and technologically primitive sophonts.

Physiology & Ecology

The Intellects are mottled gray-green toadstools, standing 3 to 10 feet tall. They are covered with transparent bumps - growing Shiverbats - and small circular orifices. These openings are feeding maws: every so often, an unwary pseudo-fungoid creature (usually no larger than a mouse) is grabbed by the Intellect's telekinesis and propelled inside.

The most notable ability of the Intellects is their psionic power. Their telepathic and telekinetic abilities evolved to protect them against other predators. and enable them to communicate with the wide-ranging Shiverbats.

As with the Shiverbats. the Intellect's primary means of receiving sensory impressions are telekinetic in nature (with a range of 200 meters). Like the Shiverbats, they also have secondary olfactory. tactile, and electromagnetic senses.

Intellects and Shiverbats communicate strictly by telepathy, Shiverbats are usually not good telepaths, but can convey basic concepts to each other and to Intellects, and with effort can send messages to other species. Intellects are master telepaths, easily as skilled as, say, the Zhodani.

Life Cycle & Reproduction

As a communal mind, the Devi_Intelligence itself is effectively immortal. The physical form of an Intellect lives for about 90 standard years. Several times during its life, an adult Intellect will begin growing spores - the Shiverbats. Four or five Shiverbats will develop in "pockets" near the surface of the Intellect, like bulging tumors. After three years of growth, the thin membrane covering the pocket will break (without harming the Intellect), and out will burst a new-born Shiverbat.

Diet & Trophics

The Intellects consume rotting vegetable matter and the occasional pseudo-fungoid snagged by their telekinesis.
