Creature:Vaharok

"The great Enemy cannot rise to meet us, if the foe they face is one of metal, not flesh."

- Sarko'Nai Military Commander Kebrass'Kolnar

Vaharok are mechanical creatures built and created by the in their early times to serve as front line shockunits against their foe, called the Great Enemy, a race of flesh-consuming, identity-stealing parasites that threatened their empire, and the world they had been found on. To protect the universe from their threat, the Multus Esse and their allies forged a set of androidic beings called Vaharok, who would come about through the processing and compartmentalization of several volunteer warriors from a variety of races, turned into these beings to fight the Great Enemy. Though the first Vaharok were successful, the brain-like structures meant to guide them could still be assimilated, and the Multus Esse, to prevent them from falling, withdrew them, and began work on the.

Vaharok today serve as shock troops and heavy infantry units for the Multus Esse armies when they go to war. Most of them are kept asleep within specialized hives and awakened by the use of special relics, or a signal by individuals that know how to awaken them. Their advanced technology will allow them to overcome any threat that comes their way.

Creation
The Vaharok were created when the Multus Esse encountered the world LV883, and the "Great Enemy", the flesh consuming parasites that threatened the balance and stability of the world, and threatened to leave the world and spread across the universe. Weapons, Essence abilities, natural defenses could not stop the Great Enemy in its vast, unending hunger. As flesh could be melted and consumed, many Warriors and scientists decided to construct warmachines to stop the parasites. The, with their advanced technology and forges, helped construct specialized processors and the like to digitize organic creatures, and turn them into brutal machines of battle to defeat the totally organic Great Enemy. The Togunda and several Multus Esse Warriors volunteered to have themselves turned into the first generation of Vaharok. These large, stout machines were deployed, and though successful in devastating and slowing the Parasite's advance, the Vaharok proved to be too damaging to LV883's environment. Another problem came up, when the organic objects used to guide them, were assimilated by the Parasite, turning several Varharok against their foes.

The Multus withdrew the remaining legions before they lost all of their Vaharok forces, and the Grand Council meet to discuss a new direction for their forces. Rather then rely on machines, they pooled all of their resources, and the advice and guidance of their allies, such as the, and others, to create the  to consume and eradicate the Great Enemy. With the threat of the Great Enemy stopped and consumed, the Multus Esse took their Vaharok forces and stored them away in great hives, each kept within a massive Tub-shaped Crypt, and stored in the thousands on several worlds.

In modern times, Vaharok have become common forces in Multus Esse armies, due to their durability, adaptive abilities in battle. Though simple-minded in most approaches, the Vaharok have proven to be cunning foes, used frequently in desperate battles, such as the Battle for Demogoron Prime. While many thousands have been deployed, millions more still remain sleeping within their Crypts.

Behavior
Vaharok are single minded, straightforward, and generally lack finesse in most things in battle and their duties. Their bodies, while drawn from organic beings, are completely metallic, and lack any resemblance to their former personalities. Their bodies are merely used as weapons for the organic computer-like beings that use them to fight their foes, and grant them further abilities in battle.

Though they exist in a Hive Mind, Vaharok utilize advanced tactics and battle strategies to overwhelm and destroy their foes quickly, with Swarm Commanders and Squad Leaders able to help coordinate and guide their less peers to fight and use strategy to destroy their foes.

Biology
Vaharok are stout, powerful creatures, with short limbs, and powerful necks that enable them to use their heads as large battering rams to destroy rocks and buildings, or smash apart infantry. They use a number of Shields to project attacks and protect themselves. The Organic computer in their heads, called Kranii, are used to give them limited personality, new abilities and powers to counter their foes. Without the Kranii, they would fall dormant.

Abilities
Vaharok hold a number of abilities, via their advanced constructed bodies that enable them to, in large numbers, utterly devastate worlds and enemies. The Vaharok's breed, and the Kranii, affect the powers the Vaharok can utilize in battle. All Vaharok can fire energy discs from their shields as ranged weapons, which can phase through solid objects to hit their targets, or fire an explosive Energy Sphere at a target from their heads. All can roll in a ball to travel quickly and smash through their targets.
