Creature:Aphor

Natural selection is the only natural part of Afor evolution. They are the product of millions of years of slow guidance, the end result of artificially-induced global cataclysms and climate change, external eugenic selection, and subtle genetic manipulation.

All of this has resulted in the modern Afor: massive hircine bipeds, shock troops for an unseen master. Evolved and abapted to be the most dangerous organisms their homeworld of Menadh could ever produce.

They're big, strong, smart, and fast. They're not the biggest species in the galaxy, or the strongest, or the smartest, or the fastest, but what they are is all four at the same time. Also, they're all latent Essence users. Patience pays, especially when you're trying to grow super-soldiers via millions of years of natural selection.
