Adapted from Barathu - Starfinder Wiki
The Barathu emerged from a gas giant caught in the path of the Nchakan Hive. They possess a thorough understanding of their biology and its functions. They can merge with other barathu to form a new, larger barathu from their combined biomass and gestalt personality. Similarly, barathu reproduce by splitting off portions of their biomass as early-stage barathu.
Early-Stage Barathu
You are young and inexperienced compared to other barathus, with an individualistic worldview likely shaped by your interactions with other cultures. You’ve yet to see the full breadth of the cosmos and haven’t adapted yourself to overcome its many threats or understand its various lifeforms. Your form is highly mutable as you haven’t yet chosen to specialize or merge with other barathus.
You’re Small instead of Medium. You gain Quick Squeeze as a bonus feat. Additionally, you gain resistance to precision damage equal to half your level (minimum 1).
Early-Stage Adventure Hooks
Seeking Independence: An Early-Stage Barathu, eager to forge its own path and differentiate itself from the collective, seeks to explore a distant, uncharted planet to discover unique life forms and claim the territory for itself (or its future collective).
Cultural Exchange Gone Awry: Due to their inexperience and potential misunderstandings, an Early-Stage Barathu traveling to a new culture accidentally offends a local power or triggers a conflict. The adventure involves rectifying the mistake and learning from the experience.
Discovery of Hidden Potential: The mutable form of an Early-Stage Barathu becomes key to solving a local mystery. Their ability to squeeze into tight spaces or their evolving biology is required to access a hidden location or overcome a unique threat.
Protecting the Vulnerable: Having recently separated from the collective, an Early-Stage Barathu may feel a new sense of responsibility. They might stumble upon a group of refugees or a small, threatened species and decide to use their unique abilities to protect them, testing their developing powers.
