The Nesk were a alien race of insects that lived during the Cretaceous Period.
Biology[]
The Nesk were a hive-minded race of sapient insects. They could come together to form any size creature they'd like when times called for it in order to operate tools.
Culture and society[]
Culturally, nothing is known about them, but from several interactions the Nesk appear to be a scavenger race, dedicated to acquiring new technologies for themselves and are highly territorial beings.
History[]
The Nesk were known, during their era, as a race of scavengers that stole various technologies throughout the galaxy over the years. They settled on Earth around 65,000,000 B.C. and constantly warred with the Mercora, a peaceful race who had also settled on Earth.
After the Mercora aided the time-displaced Animorphs in stealing a nuclear fission device, they evacuated Earth and directed an asteroid toward the planet to destroy the Mercora in an act of spite.
