- These anaerobic beings seem friendly enough.
New to the FTL universe, the Lanius arrive with the release of FTL: Advanced Edition, a free update to the vanilla FTL, released on April 3, 2014. On the producer's homepage, the Lanius are described as a metallic scavenger race prone to aggression, whose biological composition somehow drains oxygen from the rooms they occupy, making them potentially deadly adversaries.
The Lanius are scavengers – metallic lifeforms that rely on the absorption of minerals to sustain themselves. Their society ebbs and flows in hibernation cycles; they may lie dormant for many years, even while hurtling through space. As soon as they become aware of significant metal deposits they reawaken. Usually this occurs in the dying stages of a galactic civilization or in the wake of intergalactic war.
