Skaarj

The Skaarj (pronounced "scar") are a war-like reptilian race from the planet Skrath. Their goal is to conquer the universe. As a species, the Skaarj believe that their race is superior to all others, and have been trying to conquer the galaxy under the banners of the Skaarj Empire for some time now. The Skaarj have only conquered one known planet, and that is the Nali homeworld of Na Pali. They enslaved the Nali to do their biddings, such as mining for Tyradium Shards. It is possible that they are planning to take over Earth. The only other known conquest is the Izarian homeworld. However, humanity (and most other species not yet under skaarj rule) doesn't know the Izarian homeworld's name at this moment.

Appearance
Skaarj are 7 to 9 foot tall lizard-like creatures that weigh around 385 lbs. The colour of their scales range from light or dark green to blue or yellow. Different variants of skaarj carry different weapons and are classified in a class-based system. Variants are:
 * Warriors - Skaarj armed with twin Raziks, skaarj wrist-blades that also launch electro-magnetic projectiles. They are extremely agile and as such, are used as scouts, assassins and, as their name suggests, warriors
 * Troopers- Skaarj armed with firearms that anyone with the right training can pick up and use. Ranging from basic troopers to snipers and officers, these skaarj are mostly a threat from range.
 * Queens- Currently the only known females of the species, Queens are larger and more dangerous than most Skaarj. Able to teleport at will, launch energy blasts from their bodies, or tear a human (or other species) apart with their clawed hands, its hard to believe that they are non-combatants whose only role is the propogation of the skaarj race.
 * Warlords - Warlords are an oversized mix of warrior and trooper-class skaarj armed with a rocket launcher and a pair of wings. Similar in appearance to a winged trooper, but with the head of a warrior, they are the main military commanders of their respective clans, second only to the clan's queen.
 * Pupae- Pupae are newborn skaarj. Whilst one would expect this to be something to take pity on, take note that the newborns are much more vicious than the adults. Spider-like with the basic skaarj head, they attack with their long legs, but are more of a minor nuisance than an actual threat.
