Hur'q

The Hur'q, also known as Burrowers are a race of insectoid lifeforms from the Gamma Quadrant. They are a highly advanced species, which was nearly subjegated by the Dominion centuries prior. They were believed to have been extinct until the early decade of the 25th century.

Biology
Hur'q are germanium-based insectoids, which had evolved on the world known as Havas-Kul, located within the Gamma Quadrant. They vary in size, ranging from human height, to a height double that size. They are very strong by themselves and don't utilize weapons in combat. They possess small wings, which despite the size of the creature, allow for lift for an unknown amount of time.

They are known to hibernate for centuries, capable of learning during this period and awakening well over 1000 years more well knowledgeable. Their hibernation is due to the eccentric atmosphere of their world, as well as the bombardment of dangerous radiation. The fungal of their world is able to withstanding the radiation and it's believed the fungus itself is the source of food for the species. While in this hibernation cycle, the Attendants, also known as the Drantzuli, are known to care for them.

They are capable of cognitive functions, however the only real way for this to happen, they would need to be exposed to the drug known as Ketracel White, which was used by the Dominion's Jem'Hadar. Without it however, they are driven mad, as well as aggressive towards virtually any race they encounter. They are able to learn languages such as English.

Technology
The Hur'q are known to have technology, made up of electromagnetic manipulation of crystals, morphogenic in nature. Everything from the doors and even their computer systems are composed of these materials.
