Inchoroi

The Inchoroi ware a mysterious and obscene race that descended from the void within the Incû-Holoinas.

Anatomy
The Inchoroi look humanoid, old, ancient and corrupted. They have curved wings folded around their body and their skin is pale and translucent with dark spots. Their feet are claw-shaped and their head is described as a giant oyster turned on its side, which formed an expressionless face, inside that upper skull and protruding from between the larger maw was another face, this one resembling that of a man.

History
"A race with a hundred names for the vagaries of ejaculation, who had silenced all compassion, all pity, to better savour the reckless chorus of their lusts. Stalking, endlessly stalking, the world they would make their shrieking harem."

- About the Inchoroi, The Thousandfold Thought (book), R. Scott Bakker

According to the stories, the Incû-Holoinas or the Golden Ark descended from the heavens and crashed on the primitive world of Eärwa. This ark from the heavens "gave birth" to the Inchoroi. And these beings from the very moment plotted to exterminate all existing life in the world, human and Nonmen.

They claimed to have descended from the Void, victims of a catastrophe that threw them into that world. But soon their intentions were revealed when it became known that they intended to seal the world from the "outside", in order to save the obscenities they called their souls from damnation. They believed that this could be accomplished if they succeeded in murdering as many of the inhabitants of that world as possible, reducing the number to 144,000 inhabitants. It was also learned that they had tried this before on other worlds, succeeding but always failing when they realized that they were still damned. Before reaching Eärwa, the land they considered the one promised, the Ground of their redemption.

They worship the No-God as their savior, an entity through whom they believe they can achieve an end to the cycle of souls, no more births.

In order to achieve their goals, they showed an incredible capacity for cruelty in all its forms, especially remarkable is the sexual violence. After so many wars in Eärwa against Nonmen and Humans with many defeats and victories on both sides, the Inchoroi were almost exterminated, the last known surviving Inchoroi are the twin brothers Aurang and Aurax.

Origins
The Inchoroi themselves remember nothing of their origins, The little information that survives is that they were created by something called the "Progenitors", a species that achieved all kinds of technological advances, but there was one thing, an enigma that escaped all their understanding and that was the "souls", an enigma that soon became the focus of all their intellects, and when they finally managed to decipher it, close to reaching the Absolute (probably through the Inverse Fire ), they discovered damnation. They discovered that their entire race was damned after death.

So they created the Incû-Holoinas and ordered their genetically engineered servants, the Inchoroi, to travel through the void and obliterate every living world they encountered until they could rid themselves of their damnation. But it is unknown why the "Progenitors" did not join the death expedition. Therefore the fate of the "Progenitors" is unknown.
