Since they can pass for baseliners, many live in hiding among typical humans.</blockquote> |

− | Sanguophages are a mysterious but powerful group of xenohumans. They have no distinguishing looks from other xenohumans, so they blend in at first glance.

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 capsule|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. |
