FMORAFMORA
Classification: Crustacean extraterrestrial fauna
Location/Base of Operations: Unidentified planet in the "outer rim" (presumably of the Milky Way Galaxy)
Known Members: None identified
Affiliations: The Bhiv, Venom (Eugene "Flash" Thompson), 803
Enemies: Mercurio and his Gramosian agents;
at least formerly the Venom Klyntar/symbiote
formerly the P'qui
First Appearance: Venom: Space Knight#2 (February, 2016)
Powers/Abilities: The Fmora are large, cancrine (crab-like) crustaceans with large and powerful pincer claws (able to grasp a large, adult human) on their forelimbs, as well as three pairs of smaller limbs on each side, ending in a point and used for locomotion.
They possess a (presumably chitinous) exoskeleton that renders them highly durable, although superhuman beings such as Venom (lifting over 10 tons) can shatter their exoskeletons.
It is unrevealed whether they can exclusively breathe air or water vs. being able to breathe in both.
They have four eyes as well as sharp teeth extending from their maxillae.
Traits: The Fmora are normally non-threatening to them semi-humanoid P'qui co-habitating their world, feeding exclusively on an unspecified food source.
However, if they are cut off from
their food source, they will attack and presumably feed on the P'qui.
Under such conditions, at least, they will also attack other beings in
their region.
Type: Bilaterally symmetric cancrine crustaceans
Eyes: Four
(on head; a central dark brown to black region (possibly pupil only vs.
pupil and dark iris) is surrounded by a light, possibly white region
(sclera +/- light iris)
Fingers: Two digited pincer claws on forelimbs
Toes: Caudal three limbs end in a single digit
Skin (exoskeleton) color: Amber
Average height: Perhaps 3' high and 8-9' long
History:
(Venom: Space Knight#2 (fb) - BTS) - The Fmora existed
peacefully with the P'qui, feeding on their own, unspecified food source.
(Venom: Space Knight#4 (fb) - BTS) - Gramos required
vast quantities of energy to survive. When the Gramosians refused to take the
energy from other planets, Mercurio went rogue and began amassing weapons and
power from "all over the galaxy."
(Venom: Space Knight#2 (fb) - BTS) <Months ago>
- Mercurio's agents placed a drill
on the "outer rim" world of the P'qui. To the P'qui, the drill seemed
to fall from the sky and land in a valley below a P'qui village.
The drill burrowed into the ground,
displacing the normally docile Fmora from their homes and cutting them off from
their food supply, causing them to become more aggressive and presumably to
prey on the P'qui.
The self-running drill filled green canisters with the
Fmora's food and then sent them into the sky.
Considering the drill to be evil
and to have upset the balance on their planet, the P'qui prayed to their high
power, Hjuo to help them from this plight.
(Venom: Space Knight#2 - BTS) - Hearing the
"Cosmos" calling out to him, Venom (the Klyntar symbiote bonded with
"Flash" Thompson) was drawn to the world of the P'qui.
(Venom: Space Knight#2) - After dispatching a trio of
the Fmora that attacked him, he met with the P'qui and then formed a shelter
and then a sphere to protect them from the heat rain and bring them down river
to their village.
En route, the P'qui explained how
the Fmora were normally docile but that the drill that had fallen from the sky.
The P'qui then showed Venom the drill and described the problems it had been
causing, leading Venom to instruct 803 to have the his ship (the one he claimed
from Kio)
target and destroy the drill with its lasers.
After Venom informed him that the "crab cakes" would be able to access their food again in a few days, which should keep them away from the P'qui, they praised, blessed, and hailed him as Hjou.
The Fmora presumably returned to their previous feeding habits, leaving the P'qui in peace.
Comments: Created by Robbie Thompson and Ariel Olivetti.
How long is a month on
P'qui? It may be comparable to a terrestrial month, or it could be
significantly longer or shorter.
A Lunar month is roughly the time from the start of
one lunar phase (new moon or full moon) to the start of the next lunar
phase of that type.
Most stories don't specify this and likely assume
alien units of time (day, month, year) to be comparable to the
respective terrestrial time periods.
