Name: Stroukhypsoe, also commonly known as "Strouks"

Strouks would claim to be solitary creatures, but that is not the case, they are co-operative with many other of their neighbouring species and experts in weaponry.
However, they are ruthless when it comes to respect and treaties. The Strouks would risk war if their pride, monarch or something within a treaty went against their rules.
Despite their outward appearance, they are rather smart when it comes down to things such as strategies and tactics.
They look slow, bulky, clumsy and very intimidating. They run a hierarchy, in which some of them are turned into top fighters and what they like to believe as the "ultimate security guards."
Over the years, many of them work as mercenaries for own purposes, and have become a more aggressive, war-faring race.
Technology:
The Strouks are advanced in their technology compared to Earth. Having created body armor (seen in the picture), even with thicker skin and a very slight healing factor, they run on power generated from their core of the planet amongst all others, such as upgraded and more efficient versions of solar panels.

Strouks have been in large bouts of tension for many hundreds of years, until a monarchy was set up to control various parts of their home planet, due to various riots having broken out and it seemed to solve the problem, creating several thousand years of peace.
Their atmosphere on their home planet was very similar to the conditions found on Mars and in the oceans, the waves act as those found on Neptune. Many say that this is where the Strouks developed thicker skin in some areas and thinner skin in the more arid, hot and dry sections of the planet.
However, their home planet had been reduced by half the size by the time war had finished. Many had fled to safer areas of the universe, some managing to create portals to other dimensions, which later could be found as simple stones, some created illusion devices and hid on planet Earth.
Present:
At the moment, many of them are mercenaries or refugees of their home planet. They lend their services out to the highest payer. There are a limited amount of them around the universe left, the exact number is unknown and counted as a rare species.
