Cargo Creep

The exact origin of cargo creeps is a mystery, though those who have seen them understand they are nuisances to crews of transport ships, especially those carrying the types of perishable goods that cargo creeps find delicious. A cargo creep vaguely resembles a cephalopod, with four large eyes and five tentacles that it uses for locomotion. The unusual cells in its skin allow a cargo creep to mimic any sort of material with uncanny accuracy, almost down to its molecular structure. This allows a cargo creep to hide almost anywhere and easily slip into cargo holds in search for food. A cargo creep is generally quick to hide or flee at the first sign of danger, except when cornered, at which point it strikes out at anything that gets too close.
