Kroot Shaper - Notable Kroot Shapers: Anghkor Prok - Anghkor Prok was the legendary Kroot leader who first encountered the T'au and is considered one of the greatest Kroot to have ever lived. He was a key Kroot leader of the War of the Place of Union and convinced the T'au to aid him in the liberation of the Kroot homeworld of Pech from the Orks. After that campaign, Prok went to Pech's sacred oathstone and pledged the allegiance of his warriors to fight for the Greater Good -- and regular payments and technological upgrades from the T'au Empire.Gorok - Gorok the Shaper was present on the world of Gravalax during the so-called Gravalax Incident involving Commissar Ciaphas Cain in the late 41st Millennium. Gorox aided Cain in identifying a Genestealer infestation but was himself slain by a purestrain Genestealer during the incident.Griahgri - Griahgri was a Kroot Shaper who fought for the T'au on Kronus, against the Feral Orks who infested that world some twelve Terran years before the start of the Dark Crusade. During an incursion into the Rhean Floodlands, Griahgri and the Kroot hunting party he led were killed in battle with the Ork Warboss Hedkrakka. The Warboss used the Kroots' bodies as trophies for his boss hut and Griahgri's T'au Communication Beacon to inform the rest of the T'au forces on Kronus that he was coming for them next.Harbyx - Harbyx was an elder Kroot Shaper who fought under the T'au Commander Shas'O Kais during the Dark Crusade on the world of Kronus. A native of Kronus, he was highly respected by the Kroot there and fought ferociously to free his homeworld from the invaders who had come to assault it. Harbyx's fate is unknown, though he was likely slain by the Blood Ravens Space Marines when they defeated the T'au in Or'es Tash'n, their capital city on Kronus.Orak (or Orek) - A Kroot Shaper who fought in the service of Commander Brightsword and met with Colonel Schaeffer, Kage and other members of the 13th Penal Legion (Last Chancers), first helping them out of a bar fight started by Tarellian mercenaries, in which the Imperials had been badly outnumbered, and then by taking them back to his camp. There Orak tested the mettle and loyalty of the Last Chancers by making Kage eat a human brain. As a Shaper, Orak believed that both the T'au and human empires were doomed by their own stagnancy and superstition, as only constant change and adaptation could ensure survival.Ortrazk - Ortrazk was an elder Kroot Shaper who fought many campaigns under the command of T'au Commander Or'es'Ka and served with him during the Kaurava Conflict.Pechallai - Pechallai was a Kroot Shaper who commanded thousands of Kroot auxiliaries in the T'au outer defence line against as assault by the Tyranid Hive Fleet Gorgon on Sha'draig in 900-901.M41. Hormagaunts assaulted the forests where Pechallai's Kindred was positioned. Many of them ended up entangled in the forest's undergrowth where the Kroot easily dispatched them. The Gorgon's next assault wave was composed of new Hormagaunts altered to be swifter and less prone to being entangled, but they were also eventually stopped by the Kroot's savagery and sheer tenacity. A final wave, consisting of Hormagaunts once again reshaped to specifically pierce and tear Kroothide, ultimately swamped Pechallai's defences and led to the death of the Shaper and his Kindred.
