Klurrrg Concept

A minor species idea for the #LegacyVerse

The Klurrrg (a shortened version of their original name, which has been forgotten by history) are an extragalactic, or possibly extradimensional species of bipedal crustaceans. They came to the Milky Way eons ago by accident, eager to explore the unknown using their hyper-advanced technology. When they had arrived, they could find no way to return.

With no connection to their homeworld or access to their advanced technology they had come to depend on, they devolved into barbaric space pirates. Clinging to their proud past, they tend to view every other species they encounter as too weak or unbearable to deal with. The Klurrrg roam the space ways attacking far flung colonies, leaving hardly anything of their passing, shrouding themselves in an mystery.


Typically, Klurrrg are an wild, unpredictable people reveling in acts of piracy and anarchy. Non-hostile Klurrrg will sometimes barter and deal with other species, but only if they have to so to further their own needs. Currently their activities are centered around the Xasheen Consortium and their allies, who's technology they greatly crave. Their ragtag fleets consist of stolen, salvaged or shambling vessels brimming with gunports and weapon batteries. Only very rarely will they build ships of their own design, since their age-old specifications for them require strange technology that cannot be found anywhere in the galaxy and must be built from scratch.

Around their bodies is a symbiotic mollusk that attaches to an infant Klurrrg at birth, providing a level of protection against the elements with its robust shell. Eggs from both creatures are placed next to each other and when they're born, they seek one another out. As the Klurrrg grows, so does the mollusk, developing into an iron-like hide that can absorb small arms fire.

In a nutshell they're space-ape-crab-pirates More information will come when I have said information.
