Vrellnexians

"Well, they're certainly not bred to cuddle. They're creatures of war, the not the shaggy dog of men."

- Gaius Ponarian

The Vrellnexians are a ferocious breed of creatures that infest the surface of Earth in the future.

Arriving on Earth
Years after the destruction of the Earth, the Vrellnexians were transported to the crumbling planet surface. Some of them were able to breach into the Lighthouse. Since then, the third level of the station was sealed off by the Kree.

Infesting the Lighthouse
During one of his visits in the Lighthouse, Gaius Ponarian sold Kasius a Vrellnexian litter. They were proven to be very hard to domesticate.

Over the years, Human scavengers who came to the level were attacked by the Vrellnexians, which they usually referred to as Roaches, and were drained of their blood. When Virgil tried to kill a Vrellnexian, he blew open a window, which caused the creature to be sucked into the vacuum of space. Later when another Vrellnexian killed Virgil and chased Phil Coulson, Jemma Simmons, Alphonso Mackenzie and Yo-Yo Rodriguez, it managed to avoid the plasma shots but as it was about to devour them, it was disintegrated by Quake.

Survival on the surface
When Zev was banished to the surface of the Earth for possession of a firearm in violation of the Lighthouse's rules, he was attacked and killed by a flock of Vrellnexians.

Characteristic Traits
The Vrellnexians are four legged creatures, extremely ferocious and coriaceous. They are able to survive in extremely hostile environments, like the vacuum of space or the surface of a barren planet for many years, and are able to travel across the galaxy thanks to gravity storms.
