Vorox

The Vorox are an animalistic subspecies of Glatorian that gradually evolved into their own race.

Biology
The Vorox share many traits of their ancestors the Glatorian, such as a metal endoskeleton and overall similar physiology. The most significant physical difference between the two races is the presence of a large stinger tail emanating from the Vorox's backs; this trait was given to them by the Great Beings to aid in desert survival. Their helmets and masks are made of the skulls of dead creatures and the armor they wear is made from metal and bone.

Over a hundred thousand years of social isolation, combined with the absence of the Great Beings' leadership, caused the Sand Tribe that the Vorox were descended from to slowly lose their sapience and regress into animalistic beasts in the wastelands of Bara Magna. While they can still handle weapons and speak a very broken version of the Agori language, they operate mostly on instinct, hunting in packs. They are also mostly nocturnal, preferring to sleep in their underground tunnels during the day and coming to the surface at night to hunt for prey.

History
The Vorox were originally members of the Sand Tribe, a race of Glatorian that were affiliated with the element of Sand on Spherus Magna. Though an honorable race, the Sand Tribe were nomadic by nature and preferred to live in desert regions due to their affinity with Sand. The Great Beings noticed this and experimented on them, altering their physiology by giving them stinger tails and other adaptations to aid in desert survival.

When a war over Energized Protodermis at Spherus Magna's core split the planet into three chunks, the Sand Tribe were divided across the two with solid land: Bara Magna and Bota Magna. The remnants of the Sand Tribe were left in the endless wastelands of Bara Magna while the other tribes retreated to the few locations that fit their elements. The absence of the Great Beings, combined with the savagery of Bara Magna's wildlife and their separation from society, caused the Sand Tribe to gradually regress into an animalistic state. Eventually, they lost the ability to communicate using language, instead resorting to bestial roars and growls. They are now simply little more than beasts.

Over the years, members of the other tribes would capture Vorox and use them as training targets or force them to fight in the arena.

In 100,080 CMT, Le Chiffre, the leader of a tribe that had been persecuted by the other tribes of Bara Magna, offered the Vorox an alliance. The Vorox, who shared his hatred of the other tribes, accepted his offer. The Vorox were used in several of his schemes; most notably, when Le Chiffre identified Xeno as a threat and lured him into a tent filled with Vorox, who he hoped would eliminate him.

When Le Chiffre left Bara Magna, he took many specimens of the native species with him for experimentation, Vorox included. He mutated several Vorox and had them serve in his army. The status of these mutants is unknown - the Brotherhood of Makuta could have kept some for study, but it is more likely that they were eradicated along with Le Chiffre after his betrayal.

The Vorox species was made extinct when Bara Magna was destroyed, but they were later recreated along with the planet by The Architect and Yon.
