The Halorim's original shape is reminiscent of a fusion between mollusc, crustaceans and aquatic creatures once seen on Earth.
Shell: A semi-circular, crab-like shell forms the core of their body, protecting their vital organs. This shell is dense, nearly impenetrable, and can withstand severe trauma or harsh environments. The base Halorim form is roughly the height of an average human, but twice as wide. Larger specimen can be several meters tall, depending on their genetic template.
Fins: Flowing meter long, fish-like fins sprout from their shell, giving them an ethereal, almost angelic appearance. These fins are highly sensitive and can detect vibrations in their environment, they are reinforced with bio-organic fibers, making them durable despite their delicate appearance.
Tentacles: A series of flexible tentacles, some of which end in compound eyes, allow the Host to interact with their surroundings. The tentacles serve multiple functions and can be used for manipulation, sensory detection, and communication. The eye-tipped tentacles can rotate independently, granting them unparalleled awareness, the Halorim often genetically enhance these to be able to see in a vide range of colors and light.
Cybergenic Anti-Grav: Their floating, otherworldly movement is not natural but achieved through anti-gravity harnesses—rings and bands of alloyed metals embedded with advanced gravitic technology. These harnesses allow them to float gracefully in any gravitational field, reinforcing their divine appearance.
Immortal: The Halorim's cells do not degenerate, making them effectively immortal, though they can be killed through catastrophic injury. The neither require food, as they sustain themselves by absorbing light, radiation, and cosmic energy, much like photosynthetic organisms. This trait allows them to survive indefinitely, even in the cold void of space.
