Xixloctkl
A giant black crystal looking insect monster, which belongs to a hive like society. They are gradually traveling toward "known space" and are probably the invasion of evil" that is foretold in the legends of the Golden Brotherhood and the Guardians of the Forge. Players have only encountered them through the use of ancient jump gates that span much larger distances than normal space travel. Recent evidence has suggested that the species is normally relatively benign, but fell prey to another parasitic race, the krell, who manipulated the xixloctkl for their own ends.
