Friday updates are reserved for the tastiest tidbits of Eden Star news, and to kick it off, we’re revealing the first of our ground-based enemies: The Splintermite.

The Splintermite is a reclusive creature, preferring to stay in the shadows, away from the other dangerous predators on Pharus 7.

Since humankind’s first remote observation of these creatures, their behaviour has changed dramatically. Although the Splintermite is one of the smaller indigenous predators on Pharus 7, they are aggressively territorial and will actively hunt down Pioneers, detonating themselves when close to their target.

The explosive reaction is caused by a volatile mix of crystals and bile that is biologically secreted beneath the creature’s dorsal carapace. Samples from a live specimen have yet to be obtained for study.

This is the second alien creature we have revealed so far, but expect to see more in the near future! More diversity means more challenging combat for players, more tactical gameplay, and a more interesting world to explore!

We’d love to hear your thoughts in the forums! We’ll be back next week with another development news roundup, and more glimpses into the world of Eden Star!

See you then!
