HISTORY: Chrodos were (generations ago) human. A seperatist religious cult, the Human Chrodos would disfigure their bodies ritualistically by inserting and surgically attaching metal to (and within) their bodies. The early Chrodos who passed this rigorous ceremony passed their genes to their children, and their children, etc. Eventually, Chrodos childern began to be bornalready implanted with the metal fittings. Thus, a new race was evolved/formed. The "present day" Chrodos are fierce, strong, and ugly creatures. They despise their Human "cousins", and strive to cause them misery at any opportunity. As a race, they are hardly fit to compete militarily with the other warring races of the galaxy, but one-on-one, a Chrodos is often considered to be as dangerous as a Grundarian.
FUN FACT: Approximately 10% of all births in the Chrodos race result in death by the mother. These children are considered a superior breed by the ruling class of the Chrodos people.
