Sakaar native

The natives are a race of humanoid insects native to Sakaar in the Fornax galaxy. Of all of the races on the world it is most likely that they are the only actual native race.

Biology
The natives are four armed insects, standing roughly 5'4" and weighing up to at least 120 lbs. There exists various color varieties, grey, red, black, and yellow being the known varieties. They are able to communicate through "chemming" a chemical process of sharing memory and thought, an ability they share with The Brood, and The Spikes.



Reproductive Oddities
It should be noted that the Natives are biologically compatible with The Brood, the resulting hybrids having six limbs, no wings, and dangerous uncontrollable instincts.

It has also been shown that in extreme circumstances the gender of the natives can change. Miek who was isolated with the knowledge that no females remained of his species biologically changed and began laying eggs, these eggs failed to produce viable offspring though.

At Least two of Mieks offspring have survived by feeding on the blood of the Hulk, and Skaar. It is believed these offspring are now in the care of the Nameless Brood, who now watches over all that remains of the Native species.

Society
In approximatly 2100 Pre, the Natives, who up until this point were hunters and gatherers, began developing agricultural techniques and domesticating small animals such as the lowly Jackworm, which they used as a food source. With the advent of agriculture the native civilization began to develop rapidly, ushering in the age of the great hive kingdoms of Chaleen.

Although not technically political entities in the true sense of the word, these massive familial groupings, which normally contained anywhere between 100-200 natives per hive, were each ruled by a hive king and housed in majestic hive spires constructed from hardened mud and grass.

History
The modern-day Native species is believed to have evolved from the ancient insect colonies that inhabited the Chaleen plains over 200 million years ago. Having the distinction of being Sakaar's only native sentient species, Native civilization developed largely uninterrupted by outside influences, the only threat to their security being the predatory great devil corkers that relied on Natives as their primary food source.

As Native civilization flourished, the various hives began expanding into other regions of Sakaar, and different native sub-species eventually began too emerge.
