Sanguophages are an exceptionally rare and powerful xenotype with a deathly intolerance to heat and sunlight. They use their superhuman powers to satiate their genetic need for human blood.

Lore

The first sanguophage appeared thousands of years ago when the lord-explorer Varan-Dur sought to control a hyperintelligent archotech and found himself transformed by it instead. Every sanguophage is descended from him. Since then, sanguophages have often been hunted because of their destabilizing power and their need for blood. Since they can pass for baseliners, many live in hiding among typical humans.

Their numbers are unknown. Some think they are legends or rare irrelevancies. Some believe sanguophages secretly direct entire human civilizations. The stories speak of eternal lords ruling billions from slate-black space stations, or directing blood sacrifices at conferences in the underlayers of the deepest urbworlds'.' - Biotech preview #4: Xenotypes, world factions, and the dark blood-drinkers

Summary

Sanguophages are a mysterious but powerful group of xenohumans. They have no distinguishing looks from other xenohumans, so they blend in at first glance. Once selected, their differences are immediately apparent, from their hemogen and deathrest trackers at the bottom of the screen, to their unique abilities and immense genetic differences. Sanguophages have a genetic complexity of 57 and their xenogerm contains 8 archite capsules, while other xenohumans have far less complexity and don't require any capsules. Sanguophage metabolic efficiency is 0, not affecting their hunger rate in any way.

Genes

Sanguophage genes are xenogenes and are only obtainable through genetic implantation, either through their gene implanter ability or through gene extractors.

    Bloodfeeder
    Gene Bloodfeeder.png     		Carriers of this gene have small retractable fangs and an organ on the roof of the mouth which can extract hemogen from fresh warm blood. They can bite an unresisting person, suck the blood, and gain hemogen directly.
    • Adds ability: Gene Bloodfeeder.png Bloodfeed
    Bite the target and extract hemogen directly from their blood. The target will lose blood and will be horrified by the interaction, but will be otherwise unharmed. A fast-acting coagulant will seal the wound to prevent bleeding. Can only target non-hemogenic humans. Hemogen gain is affected by the target’s body size.
    • Feed on a pawn to gain up to +20 Hemogen, which scales with target body size, but not the user's.
      • Target will gain +45% blood loss and the −5 Fed on moodlet (5 days, doesn't stack, negated by Bloodfeeders precept.Content added by the Ideology DLC). Also gains a bloodfeeder mark on the neck (+1% pain).
      • If the target does not have enough blood, hemogen gain will be reduced accordingly.[Detail]
      • Bloodfeeder must have a non-0% Eating capacity.
    • Target: Single non-Hemogenic[Verify] human target. Must be downed or a colonist, slave,Content added by the Ideology DLC or prisoner not on a mental break.
      • A warning will be given if it would kill the target or render them unconscious, but it will not account for continuing blood loss.

    Gene implanter
    Gene XenogermReimplanter.png     		Carriers of this gene can implant a copy of their xenogerm into another person through a somewhat gross-looking injector organ. Their own genetic material will then regrow very slowly. If they implant while their genes are regrowing, they will die.
    • Adds ability: Gene XenogermReimplanter.png Implant Genes
    Implant this person's xenogenes into a willing subject using a special injector organ. If this person's genes are currently regrowing, they will implant their xenogerm and die in the process.\n\nWhen implanted, a xenogerm will overwrite the target's xenogenes. Germline genes will be unaffected.
    • Passes on a copy of all xenogenes to a target. Causes genes to regrow for 2 years afterwards.
    • Using this ability while genes are regrowing kills the pawn.
      • If using this ability is lethal, then the caster will lose all of their xenogenes upon death.

    • Origins

    Sanguophages can be obtained in multiple ways.

    • Sanguophage scenario : You start the game with a Sanguophage.
    • Recruitment: You capture and recruit a Sanguophage, or one joins as a wanderer.
    • Gene implant : You can force Sanguophages to use their gene implant ability on one of your pawns if they are captured or downed. Select the desired pawn to gain these abilities, and then right-click on the sanguophage and choose the "Absorb xenogerm" option. If the sanguophage's genes are currently regrowing, this will kill them.
    • Quest : You allow 2 or more Sanguophages hold a meeting at your colony. One of the quest rewards will allow you to choose a pawn to be implanted with Sanguophage genes.
    • Quest : You get word that a sanguophage and his thralls are about to crash, and you can signal them to land at your colony (or nearby). You are advised that if you capture the sanguophage you can force them to implant a xenogerm in one of your colonists.
