Origins
The exact origins are unknown about Tenebris.

The Attack of 2154
Man had begun the exploration of space by the start of the 22nd century. In the year 2154, an exploration team found a planet was covered in gloom, and had an ancient metal temple on it, which seemed to have been built by an alien civilization. This was very fascinating, and the exploration team brought back some of the objects found there. However, there was something aboard the craft that they did not know got on.

The creature killed everyone aboard when the planet neared Earth. One night in Neo Benton, the shuttle was falling from the atmosphere. However, Meteor Neutralizers we’re engaged, and the craft landed without causing damage to surrounding buildings.

However, the creature was able to emerge from the ship, and it began its attack by destroying the powerplant, which caused a power out. The city was in the gloom of the night. The beast then struck a skyscraper down. It collapsed near the other buildings, and caused mass panic.

Some people clamed seeing a flowing red thing nearby. As the night continued, the presence the monster was confirmed. It climed acroad skyscrapers, and struck hover bikes out of the sky. One child was in his room, when he was awakened by the monster’s activity.

When his parents came to see if he was okay, the monster turned its attention to them, and grabbed them as it crawled onto the balcony. However, the sun rose, and it began to screech in agony, and then it stumbled off the balcony. Sadly, the parents were still with him, and the fell as it faded away during the fall.

The attack left many heartbroken and frightened, and left mass casualties and destruction.

Another appears
Man had colonized a few hospitable planets outside the solar system, which included Varinus IV, Ir Re, and Xordox. The planets had been close in range to the shrouded planet.

In that time, the the creature, dubbed Tenebris, had been adapting. Next thing humanity new, just 12 years after the 2154 incident, some strange occurrences could be seen from above Varinus IV. And when night fell, another Tenebris made itself known. The humans noticed that it was way bigger and more powerful than the last. The military‘s weapons were not even scratching it. However, the same was not true for Tenebris. By sunrise, instead of dying, it receded to the caverns below the surface of the city.

However, as Night was dawning, he was surfacing. But this time, there was a counter attack from mankind. With solar weapons, they brought it down. When scientists analyzed the carcass, they noticed that it had subtle diffferences, showing that it adapted from some lineage after the first Tenebris appeared, which meant, there had to be more out there.

More to be added

Rapid Adaptation and Evolution
Tenebris’s adaptation capabilities are tremendously faster than any known organism. It’s able to grow larger and stronger in very little time.

Binary Fission
When it comes time, Tenerbis will divide itself into two: one offspring, and the original. The offspring is able to inherit knewly adapted traits and abilities. The original has the adaptions it developed, but is also free to continue to adapt and grow in power and size. This system is an insurance policy so that the original can survive, and if the progeny happen to die, there can be more.

Trinary Fission
At one point, a trinary fission event was attained, producing two progeny.

Apparating
Tenebris is capable of apparating in dark areas with excellent ease. He can teleport from one place to another very quickly.

Dark matter laser
From Tenebris’s jaws, it can fire a blast of dark matter.

Anti light shield
A Dark Shroud surrounds later progeny and the original Tenebris. This allows them not to be tied down by the weakness of the sun or another star. Also, it meant frontal attacks from solar weapons were out of the question.

Dematerializing
Tenebris can become darkness, and be untouchable.

Stealth
Tenebris’s dark body blends in with the night very well.

Physical capabilities
Tenebris is very strong and fast. Also, the claws on its fingers are capable of piercing objects.

Sunlight and solar energy based attacks
Sunilight killed the first progeny which appeared. The second was able to retreat unterground before the sun rose. However, when it appeared the next night, solar based weapons were used to kill it off. However, later Tenerbis have an adaptaion to counter this weakness.
