Creature:Gizrun

The Gizrun are a species that rather resemble dromaeosaurids, or raptors. They originally hail from the planet Acex-Rabe.

Culture And History
As the Gizrun grew into a flourishing civilization that ruled their planet, they did much soul-searching. Although the predatory desires to kill and tear anything that angered them was built into the deepest levels of their genetics, they had developed enough of a conscience to fight it. They built a carefully structured society designed to reduce the temptation to slaughter sentient beings. No matter how passionate the disagreement becomes, any physical violence is quickly quashed, hard, by the law enforcement.

This has led to some interesting experiences in the wider galaxy. As they encounter other space-faring lifeforms, they manage to keep their instincts in check and interact peacefully.

However, this all goes out the window if they, or one of their allies, are attacked. Clinging tightly to the self-defense moral high ground, they unleash every ounce of predatory wrath that lurks within them, battling and giving no quarter, refusing to stop the war until the enemy's entire imperium has been smashed; every colony and even the opponent's homeworld has either surrendered or been destroyed. War acts like a species-wide stress relief valve for the Gizrun.

Due to this dichotomous view of conflict, many species are happy to ally with them, knowing an alliance will not be broken and that anyone who attacks them will feel the full anger of the Gizrun Empire.
