Rock Creatures
The "Rock Creatures" event in Stellaris — flavor, choices, and how to trigger it with the event console command.
Rock Creatures

As the underground movement grew stronger, we watched as all around us the brittle terrain erupted in a matrix of small holes. From each of these popped a small, lithoid lifeform. Their roughly-hewn forms occupied the land from horizon to horizon, surrounding our encampment. Their coarse appearance belied their graceful movement; the creatures glided through the terrain, carefully maneuvering around our equipment and the local plant life. Besides avoiding us, none of these creatures have reacted to our presence on their planet. All at once, the creatures stood to face the horizon. There is a definite sense of anticipation, but for what?
