Creature:Olok

The Olok are an ancient race not native to this galaxy. Their frail-looking formes bely their vast intelligence, and they are considered one of, if not the, greatest genetic engineers in the galaxy. Their race is at odds with other various empires for their overly rampant use of genetic modification on other races, be they sentient or not, or even if it is unwanted, simply because they see it as their duty to enhance all "lower" life forms. They are also renowned for their advanced cloning procedures which when combined with their mental transference, literally grant them a form of immortality.

Physical Description
The Olok have a unique body plan that can, at best, be described as being similar to that of cephalopods and their kin. They lack a true internal skeleton, and instead have a unique chitin-based one that is composed of several elements and molecule configurations unknown to most planets in this galaxy. Suckers along their arms have evolved a unique process which allows atmosphere transference, effectively making them lungs. Their multiple eyes give them 180 degree vision, and their long, spindly fingers make them adept at using their unique technology.

Culture
Oton culture is based upon the concept that scientific pursuits are to pursued and used to their fullest extent, and that morality and ethics merely get in the way of it. Most members of their culture become scientists, and they are the most revered members of their society, and great honor is given to those who achieve some great scientific advancement. Their young are raised in vast hatcheries aboard massive ships that serve as their homes, whiles clones are grown in separate areas.

Achievements


Besides their vast array of genetic engineering technologies, highly advanced starships capable of traveling between galaxies, and cloning facilities, the Olok have developed various advanced technologies such as powerful lasers and shields. Their ships contain vast aquatic environments within them.

Their genetic engineering has created and altered numerous species, and their cloning rate has only a .2% failure rate, which is considered one of the highest in the known galaxy.
