The main thing that separates them from animals like insects if that their vertebrates. There's a minor difference in color between male and female. Especially as they age, males become darker and females become lighter. Similarly to individuals who live in high altitude climates with less air. Their able to breath fine in both climates with thicker or thinner atmospheres.
- Races: N/A
- Strengths:
- Unity, having a weak but present hive mind link.
- Smart, especially for a cave dwelling species
- Weaknesses:
- Naturally poor sight, needing to rely on technology
- UV sensitive, being in sun light for too long can harm their eyes, antennas, and skin.
- Arrogant
- Diet: They are omnivores, but commonly eat a cave fungus found on there home world. Some flowers are toxic to them.
- Communication: Vocal
- Technology level: The Knull are pretty technologically advanced. mastering bio-engineering, and cybernetics
- Religion/Beliefs: The Knull have little faith in the force and would rather do away with it. As a society they believe that they are very much superior to others. That its their god given right to conquer on the bases of culture.
- General behavior: The Knull are a curious bunch having a knack to invent. But despite their curious nature their very prideful and look down on other species. Each member of Knull society often wanting to play their part for their species. As a society they have little interest in ones personal life as long as it's not countering the interests of their colony. This often means sympathizing with other species or trying to work against their colony. Only a few Knull adventure away from their colony for the rest of the galaxy. Severing the link to their already weak hive mind. The main interest of the Knull and their colonies is to dominate as much as they can and make nature bend to their will.
In order to talk about the modern Knull we must speak of the original Knull. On the Moon of Korth IV lived Protists in underground cave ponds and lakes. There the Original Knull came about. Which were more of a maggot like with arms and legs. After making their own society they bread of more modern mantis like Knull with a very forceful evolution. They were pretty much better in every way to their predecessors eventually overthrowing the frail maggot like creatures and taking the title of the Knull for themselves. This was done in a bloody and swift revolt. Taking over their moon, and improving on the already made society for them. Understanding that there was a bigger world out their they built their first space elevator. Not much longer they were taking to the stars themselves.
First moving on to the other moons that orbited along theirs. Them moved to Conquering their system of Alpha Thracus and what other primitive species there were. Which they diligently took over and enslaved. Practically butchering all those they conquer with bio-engineered cybernetics. Turing them into weapons for further expansion. Only time will tell if they'll follow the same path of heir creators and perish under their own creations.
