Creature:Oggrum

The Oggrum are a partucularly powerful and determined race with enough power to crush most alien empires they meet.

The Oggrum are humanoid, greyish in colour with short clipped fur, with long necks hidden in their and chest. Their torso gives the appareance of being fat, but do not be decieived. The massive gut is in reality a massive slab of musle and organs, that allow the Oggrum to consume almost anything they desire.

Dissected Oggrum have shown bones, up to twenty kilos of flesh and plants in varying stages of digestion, clothing, weapons, armour, and at one point, even a Grox cybernetic implant.

Oggrum have a reputation of being exceptionally resistant, one Oggrum showing various wounds caused by its victims including; slashing marks, a number of bites, what appears to be a wound caused by some kind of spear that failed to penertate the more vital organs, multiple gunshots, multiple fractures, and even had a lodged speartip just above it's pauch. What actually killed the Oggrum was when the gun carried by one of it's victims discarghed as the Oggrum attempted to digest it, penertrating the wall of the gut, causing the Oggrum to eventually bleed to death.

When an Oggrum eats, it is possible to see the gut moving as the powerful musles in it's gut squirm as it crushes the food. (This is actually true. Took me a few hours to get it right.)

The Oggrum, for all it's apparent hostility, is actually a rather peaceful creature, which enjoys the finer things in it's life.

Many empires have made alliances with the Oggrum, with much success, while any life form that attemps to conqour them, usually ends up being conqoured.

Upon the treaty being made with the species, the Oggrum will attempt to absorb the new ally into it's own empire through marketing, political movements, and even the purchasing of planets.

While they have absorbed six empires already, they are still looking towards new empires.

Oggrum are not particularly intellegent and have VERY short memories, often unable to rerember the past few days with any clarity.

Civilised Oggrum tend to have a penchance for kilts and skirts, while some form of protction is usually welcome.
