Surgeons

Summary
Surgeons are alien parasites which each resemble an octopus which require the conditions of a human head to survive in. They hail from another dimension and leak into our world through a portal, the location of which was moved by Captain Krypton to The Stronghold.

Surgeons

They manifest abilities for their host once bonded, with each Surgeon granting different abilities, and attempt to dominate their host's mind to better their own cause. A Surgeon can be tamed by a strong enough will.

History
The Surgeons were a proud race that came into existence in the early few billion years of the universe, their power vast and their ambition just as vast. They sought power more than anything and they ran rampant throughout the universe in an attempt to subjugate it, shaping reality into what they wanted it to be. Some Surgeons used their power for good; most were oppressive and looked down on other races, enslaving them.

The Surgeons for some time ran rampant throughout the universe unchecked until the Spectre decided that enough was enough when a Surgeon sought to reshape the universe entirely and make it in his image. In a battle for the cosmos, the Spectre fought against billions of Surgeons, wreaking havoc throughout their empire and making his way to their capital. He laid waste to their infrastructure just to make a point. He rallied the more "upstanding" Surgeons to fight against the oppressive and cruel ones.

In the final battle of the war, Spectre fought against the most powerful Surgeons who combined managed to hold him off for quite some time, the battle lasting sixteen days. Knowing that Surgeons grow only more powerful with time, the Spectre laid a curse upon them while they were at their weakest; they would be humbled and could only live outside of their home planet with their powers if they subjected themselves to living inside of a host. The Surgeons who allied themselves with the Spectre only wanted one thing; mortality. The Spectre granted it to them and that faction of Surgeons eventually died off, having done their best to repair the damage other Surgeons had done.

The Surgeons who had malicious intentions for the universe remained on their homeworld, their power growing but limited in range. Most decided to be content that they weren't destroyed; others were still eager to explore the universe and chose exile, leaving their home planet to bond with a host.
