Krag's species are an unnamed shapeshifting humanoid species from a distant galaxy, unknown to Earth.
Biology[]
Krag shapeshifts into a Human form
Members of Krag's species are humanoids with yellow, spotted skin, four fingered webbed hands, somewhat ichthyoid-like heads, and a single black eye, with what appears to be a small nostril under their eye. Their primary ability is to shapeshift, capable of shaping their bodies into perfect copies of Humans and dogs, also capable of creating monstrous forms and sprouting extra limbs, such as tendrils and spikes. They are also capable of morphing their clothes with them, but it is unknown if this is due to some sort of field they generate around their skin or because of a material used in their clothes, such as unstable molecules.
Culture and society[]
Krag's species are imperialists, seeking to conquer planets across galaxies. After selecting a planet to invade, they send an infiltrator to said planet in order to gain as much information as possible on the planet and its inhabitants, such as their weaknesses and destructive power. If the agent fails to report back, they are believed to have been killed or imprisoned by the planet's inhabitants, a sign that the planet is strong, which causes the invasion to be aborted. Standard military uniforms consist of a blue tunic with pointed shoulders, blue boots, a sash, blue helmet, and brown pants. Krag's species are ruled by an emperor, who wears a military uniform with a purple cape.
Technology[]
Krag's species have highly advanced technology, including rocket-shaped spacecraft capable of traveling across galaxies. Their handheld weaponry consists of a firearm described as a magnetic raygun, holding enough destructive power to fend off an army.
History[]
At some point in the 20th century, Krag's species detected Earth, learning some small details of the planet's inhabitants and atmospheric composition. Soon, the emperor of Krag's species decided to send a scout to Earth to either commence or cancel the invasion, choosing Krag to be the scout. Krag, who had mastered his shapeshifting ability, was sent out with a warning that the decision of invasion hinged on his return. Flying for two days, Krag had left his galaxy and was en route to Earth, when he came across a yellow spaceship floating in space. Seeing that the ship was more beautiful and likely more advanced than his own, Krag resolved to capture the ship as well, vowing to return to his homeworld with both the intel on Earth and the ship. Entering the ship with no difficultly, Krag was surprised to see it devoid of crew, soon realizing that the ship was actually a shapeshifting carnivorous being, which quickly devoured him. With Krag dead, he never reached Earth or reported back to his homeworld, the invasion aborted. However, Krag left behind offspring. Eventually, his grandson went to Earth to finish Krag's mission, disguising as a puppy. He encountered a genetically modified Human named Deadpool, who attempted to kill him, but a Watcher named Uatu interfered and saved him. However, Krag's grandson then morphed into a monster and turned hostile, prompting Uatu, already annoyed by Deadpool and exasperated that his interference was due to a deception, to kill Krag's grandson, ending Krag's species attempts of invading Earth.
