Background & Religion: Forged from a prophecy of total dominance, the Zagnid are a metamorphose species destined to become the sole arachnid lineage in the universe. To fulfill this cosmic decree, they hunt and eradicate all other arachnid life, systematically purging every galaxy they touch. Their physiology is their greatest weapon, they can mutate and transform, seamlessly integrating the biological traits of any species they encounter into their own shifting forms. Though they once dominated entire galaxies under Queen Zagnara, their defiance met its end when they attempted to fight the Skorde of Corruption. The war was a catastrophe; they lost their conquered systems, and their home planet was exposed. Left with no choice but to surrender to avoid extinction, the Zagnid became a slave race bound to the Skorde. Now, they serve Silkalek, the God of Corruption, having traded their independence for the dark fire of their new deity to ensure they still fulfill their genocidal destiny.
Military Ranking System: Historically, the Zagnid lacked a formal hierarchy, a trait that rendered them vulnerable and disorganized in the eyes of their rivals. To survive under the Skorde, Queen Zagnara adapted their structure to mimic the Skorde hierarchy, organizing her people into tactical clans led by a high density of generals. This transition demonstrated to their masters that the Zagnid were not merely mindless drones, but strategic masters of the battlefield. At the apex of this system sits an elite vanguard of 100 veteran souls, hand-picked for infiltration and the Queen’s personal protection. These elites are selected through a rigorous system of contribution points, awarded only to those who consistently survive the absolute brutality of the frontline regions.
Specialization and Weakness: The Zagnid represent the Skorde's most lethal ambush force, possessing land speeds that surpass every other race in the horde and the ability to strike from subterranean concealment. They are masters of verticality and aerial warfare, specializing in all aircraft types to invade territories from the most improbable vectors. This mastery of the skies, combined with their underground mobility, ensures they are never where the enemy expects them to be.
Armors & Weapons Type: Physical stature among the Zagnid varies wildly due to their metamorphic nature, with weights ranging from 280lb to 1240lb and heights spanning 4 feet to 13 feet. Despite their size, they favor light clothian armor on their limbs to maintain maximum fluidity. In combat, they are masters of close-quarters engagement, utilizing their incredible speed with one-handed weapons to overwhelm opponents. Their signature armaments include long web spears for mid-range piercing and heavy firearms for devastating suppression. This combination of fluid movement and high-caliber weaponry has cemented their reputation as one of the deadliest threats the Human’s has ever faced.
