Skrak

"Chaos is our gift; fear, our craft."

The Skrak are a small, green-skinned humanoid species, highly nimble and cunning, designed for stealth, infiltration, and terror. Known for their vile methods and total disregard for morality, they are universally reviled by other species across the galaxy.

Physiology

Height & Build: Small and wiry, standing around 3–4 feet tall, optimized for agility and stealth.

Skin & Eyes: Green skin blends into natural environments; eyes are sharp and slightly luminescent, aiding in night vision.

Agility: Exceptional reflexes and dexterity allow them to climb, jump, and move in ways few other species can match.

Behavior and Culture

Clans: Skraks operate in clans scattered across various worlds, often hidden in caves, ruins, or dense forests.

Predatory Society: They raid settlements for food, sacrifice, captives, or terror, showing no allegiance to morality, law, or diplomacy.

Psychological Warfare: Skraks revel in fear and chaos, often torturing or killing their victims in brutal ways.

Lack of Homeworld: They were engineered by the Vandu as instruments of destruction, never having a true homeworld.

Interbreeding: Skraks will interbreed with other races to enhance their genetic traits, gaining improved strength, agility, or other advantageous characteristics.

Role in the Galaxy

The Skrak act as raiders, assassins, and saboteurs, often destabilizing worlds for the Vandu Empire or their own gain.

Enemies of All: Almost every other species regards them as vile, unpredictable, and extremely dangerous, making them isolated predators in the galaxy.

Tools of War: Though independent, the Vandu often deploy Skrak units behind enemy lines to weaken or terrorize opposing forces before full-scale invasions.

Notable Traits

Cunning: Able to plan and execute complex raids with minimal resources.

Brutal: Engage in acts of terror and violence without hesitation.

Survivalist: Their small size, agility, and stealth make them extremely hard to track or eliminate.

Loyal to Chaos: While created by the Vandu, Skraks often follow their own twisted whims, making them dangerous even to allies.
