[b]Description:[/b] Corrupted and warped White Giants, Ashlings are very similar in design to their counterparts. Their once porcelain shells have been corrupted and ruined to crystallized ash. Much more flexible and adaptable than the porcelain of the White Giants, but also far weaker. They can manipulate the ash on their body to create weapons, more limbs, claws, whatever they need to attack their prey. This leads to their jagged and holey appearance. Their mass never changes, but they do have to take their weaponry and new limbs and such from somewhere. Whereas the White Giants exist to defend life, Ashlings exist to hunt down and destroy it. They're an inherently violent species. 

Ashlings repopulate their race by chasing down and dragging off those victims that they don't kill, implanting their crystallized ash, and watching as it takes over their prey. The prey's body doesn't change, but it's primary reason for existing does. Rather than whatever it had been, it changes to expanding the Ashling race and attacking other races they see. They also possess the talents of whatever the infect, provided changing itself doesn't take it away. Such as the White Giant's resistance and healing as their porcelain is replaced with a set amount of crystallized ash. Currently, Ashlings possess only the intelligence of animals. As soon as a sentient species is created, however, the Ashlings will get one of it's members and that will bring about intelligent Ashlings. 

Most of the Ashling's internal organs are replaced when it is drawn into the race, except for the heart and brain. These are the two most vulnerable parts of any Ashling. Anything sufficiently strong enough can shatter them apart as well, given that they are crystallized ash.
