Creature:Mardor

The mardor are a race of sapient beings who have inhabited the planet Malvire for about 120,000 years. They are notable for their aggressiveness, their hedonism, and their love of suffering, especially suffering which they inflict.

Origin
All known mardor descend from a population of about 70,000 which popped up on Malvire approximately 120,000 years ago. It is not known how the Mardor came to live on Malvire. However, it can be said with certainty that they did not originate there. They have no evident ancestry in the planet’s fossil record and, more importantly, do not fit anywhere on the planet’s phylogenetic tree, with not one local clade being a good candidate for the one they belong to.

Regardless of their origin, once there, they quickly dominated the planet and even the local sapient race, the mypho, soon were at their mercy and occasionally avoided enslavement only due to the mercy and good will of some mardor.
