Creature:Kresh-Ra

The Kresh-Ra are a creation of an insane Aurix scientist working in the field of neogenetics. Taking a cue from early Aurixan mythology, he altered some Aurixan fetuses, designing them to resemble in some ways the god, Aurixan mythology. Upon the hatching, the neonatals immediately proved their upped aggression, attacking the handler and maiming them quite decently. They were raised by the program to see how well they could perform in battle upon maturity, and more were produced to minimize the time between the experiments and time to finally field them. Their creator, now referring to himself as their "daddy", had slightly different plans for them upon becoming emotionally attached to their lot. He stopped wishing to see them perish and wanted to free them to live on their own as "free beings, free from the tyranny of someone else's war".

The scientist would go to free his beloved Kresh-Ra while remaining behind plasma barriers that prevented the monstrosities from killing him, although they tore apart several other scientists working that night and finally escaped into the city where they shredded numerous other individuals before they finally escaped the city limits. Over the next several years they have succeeded in obtaining a breeding population. Attacks on Aurix cities are not unheard of and often ends in the mutilation of several individuals before the Kresh-Ra in question are brought down.

Even for such a species as the Aurix, the Kresh-Ra has led to nightmares in several individuals; these Kresh-Ra even have a phobia involving them.

Sporepedia Description
"Kresh-Ra is an Aurixan god of war, death and decimation. Many death cults followed his teachings during their tribal era.  When a scientist chose to create Kresh-Ra for real, the ensuing species became nightmare fuel for the Aurix populace."
