Tosk (Species)

The Tosk, meaning "The Hunted", were a race of reptilian-humanoids from the Gamma Quadrant.
They were bred and trained to become the quarry in a ritual hunt for another race, known as the Hunters. Tosk were only sentient because the Hunters made them this way (this implies a degree of genetic engineering on their part). The meaning of life for a Tosk was to outsmart the Hunters for another day. The only greater dishonor for a Tosk than being captured and returned to their home planet alive was to seek protection from another race. They took an oath of silence regarding the hunt preventing them from even talking about it with anyone else. The Tosk were treated with respect and admiration by the Hunters.
Tosk were well equipped to outsmart their hunters, presumably to make the hunt as exciting and interesting for the Hunters as possible. Tosk could make themselves invisible to the naked eye (although, sensors could still locate them, and the Hunters had a device in their helmets that could scan for them). They also had great agility and only required 17 minutes of rest per rotation. Tosk kept liquid nutrients stored in plasmic fibers throughout their bodies.

*The only Tosk character in the game is Th'Mataklahn.
