Vorox

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

Description
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.

Evolution
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.

Desert Heat
In 100,080 CMT, the Vorox were approached by Le Chiffre with the prospect of an alliance. Le Chiffre, who was the leader of another tribe that had also been persecuted by the more "civilized" tribes of Bara Magna, proposed this alliance so that he and the Vorox could get revenge on their mutual enemies: the Glatorian and Agori. After some consideration, the Vorox accepted his offer and became one of Le Chiffre's many assets as a result. One of Le Chiffre's first uses of the Vorox was when he hid a large group of them in a tent to serve as a trap for Xeno, but Xeno managed to overpower and kill these Vorox with the help of Ulysses. Zaski also slaughtered a pack of Vorox in the wastelands at around the same time, making it a double loss for the Vorox.

Three Vorox were captured and forced to fight in an arena match against Silver-Silver. Nirtis, who was a spectator at this match, found Silver-Silver's ability to fight the Vorox off rather interesting.

At some point during his campaign, Le Chiffre captured many Vorox and used them in his experiments. He kept the resulting mutated Vorox in his lab at first, but transported them onto Darkmount before the destruction of Bara Magna. Le Chiffre drafted these mutated Vorox into his army, along with many Glatorian and Agori who shared similar mutations. He had part of this army escort him to the Fellowship of Kakamu's location when they teleported onto Darkmount.

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 in 150,080 CMT.

In 150,082 CMT, the Harbinger crashed on Bara Magna. Airachnid asked Abeloth what kind of game they could find on the planet, to which he replied "Given that this is Bara Magna... Glatorian, Agori, Vorox, Zesk, Skrall, Baterra, Vrai, and the occasional Element Lord".

Far Future
"Bara Magna. One of three planets created as a result of the Shattering of Spherus Magna 250,000 years ago. Home to the species Agori, Glatorian, Skrall, Vorox, Zesk..."

In an unspecified year of the far future of the Original Universe, a computer information terminal told Sal'e that the Vorox were one of the species that inhabited Bara Magna.
