The Halon

The Halon are a hive-mind species that are roughly insectoid who are geneticlyly unrelated to every other species, not having DNA as we know it. Their evolutionaly tree is compleatly seperate, being made out of chlorine, bromine, silicon, and strontium, unlike the "surface-dweller" oxigen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen. life on the surface began in heated pools, and went on land becoming bigger, and more diverse, while Halonian life began in the center of Belsari, tunneling to the surface, becoming more and more temperature resistant. The only other surviving node on the Halonian evolutionary tree are the Dækons being hybrids of Halons, and surface-reptiles, after the impact of Eaus.

Apearance

Halons have thick exoskeletons, which slowly encorperate rhenium, lead, and other dense metals as they grow, which look like dull-grey perl. They stand roughly up-right, with three tenticles, and four equidistant pointed legs, akin to a spider's. They have luminous eyes, and metallic horns facing backward, which get longer as they aproach the back of their head, and which never stop growing.Their avarage body temp. is 1400oF.

Social Structure

They live in a disorginised tunnel system winding beneath the crust of Belsari, everywhere except beneath the blast crater of Eaus. There is also a floating rock at the center of Belsari where the telepathic center of the Halon is monitered, and controlled. The tunnels were created by the rock being eaten away for food, and then deposited in volcanoes, where it comes to the surface in large mishapenn spheres of dark glass of various colors, which are about three miles in diameter. The Halon don't knowthatt the surface exists, and believe that it's just rock forever, in all directions.
