The Grox

"Being useful to the Grox is good for your survival." - The Grox
The Grox are a vastly expanding hyperaggressive race that are feared by all. The only race in Darkspore (normally, minus Worlds End races) that are cybernetic, The Grox are viewed as a disgrace to nature and the balance of life, and want to eradicate all life themselves. They wish to claim the Galaxy for themselves. Their actual empire is composed of Dronox and Insectrox aswell, automated machine creatures the Grox have manufactured.
== Appearance ==
Grox are short, chubby, bear-like creatures with a red and dark red striped body. Their ears are long and pointy, their iris a dark green. Their mechanical parts are a dark metal color and are either red, yellow, or white neon.
== Biology ==
Once their cybernetics are removed, Grox are incredibly weak and feeble creatures that even Acyllians or Doogies could smash into pieces. However, with their cybernetics they are very powerful and they are very feared. They have most organics that other creatures have, and are said to resemble bears.
Grox also cannot breathe in air, and upon doing so will melt. They also melt in cargo holds if exposed to air.

== Culture ==
The Grox, uniquely, have an Aristocracy, where a group of powerful and rich individuals lead their empire. Grox have a deep resentment for anything living, even Starbeings, who have been called robots and mechs by other races. They celebrate the eradication of entire races and profoundly dislike other people. 
It's been noted several times in their race that they have a very, oddly placed, taste in music.
=== Aggression ===
The Grox are some of the most aggressive creatures to exist, rivalling the hyper-aggression of Starbeings. No one is safe.

=== Mockery ===
The Grox love slandering other race's culture and their beliefs. Their gods and morals mean nothing.
=== Music ===
The Grox love throat singing and opera. It's not quite understood why they have this taste.
== History ==
The Grox have a very hidden history, however it can be inferred that they have existed longer than any other race.
== Special Notes: Darkness Wielding ==
The Grox are one of many races to utilize the new Magic to their advantage. The Grox with their magic are highly powerful, able to deal much more damage and attack much more frequently by binding together tech with magic, and creating seemingly impossibly powerful galactic armadas. However, do not be alarmed, the Acyllians have the tech to fight back.
== Appearances ==
The Grox have namely only appeared in Darkspore, first appearing in the Hotel on Saturn II.
== Trivia ==
* Grox derives from Grob. Grob backwards is Borg.
* The Grox are the only Darkspore race to use Darkness.
* The Grox are from Spore.
* The Grox are the largest empire, controlling 3,000 systems and over 12,000 planets.
* It's ironic how Grox despise Starbeings, despite Starbeings being moreso mechanical.
* Purge and Grox are similar in that the more mechanical pieces you have, the wiser and higher up you are.
