Dokarian

A species of bipedal, extraterrestrial insectoids (specifically mantids) native to the planet Dokar.

Anatomy
These aliens are often described as looking similar to a giant praying mantis. They stand considerably taller than the average Human, considering their noticeably "hunchbacked" posture. They have skinny bodies, light or dark bluish-green skin, and heads supported by long necks, a pair of wings, and large eyes which do not appear to be compound as is the case in many other insectoid races.

The leader of the Dokarian invasion of 2076 is a wholly different creature with a large head, a shorter stature, a non-beaked mouth and pupil-less black eyes. Despite this, he was dressed in a Dokarian uniform like the others. It is possible that he might represent a different subspecies or caste.

Powers and abilities
They have impressive regenerating abilities and are able to hypnotize others, though this might not hold true for all members of the race.

The fact that they sought to conquer an oceanic settlement might indicate that the species can survive underwater.

Weaknesses
Despite possessing a set of wings, it remains uncertain whether they are able to fly.

Diet
They appear to be able to consume highly unusual substances, including toner fluid.

Reproduction
The Dokarian mating process results in the death of the male, as is the case for Earth mantises.

Life cycle
Dokarians go through molting processes, confirming that they have exoskeletons.

Culture and society
Hardly anything is known about their culture and civilization, since the most famous member of this species, the villain Zorak and his assistants, are actually renegades who left their planet to attempt to conquer the galaxy.

History
In the year 2076, a Dokarian vessel attempted to conquer an underwater Human civilization on Earth, but their plans were thwarted by Jabberjaw and the Neptunes (a group of four musicians). It seems unlikely that the very small group of invaders was acting in the interests of the Dokarian government.
