These ancient subterranean explorers were once called cthononauts but when they lost communication with the surface world many of them died in their monolithic subterranean cities and rose from the dead as eternal guardians of the life shaped beings, ideas and secrets kept in their long sequestered facilities. The nekronauts are not evil per se but very quick to attack anything which poses a threat to these symbiote cities deep below the earth. Undead Nature. A nekronaut doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep. |
