This chapter is not a real part of the story itself; instead it gives a bit of back story so the reader can understand a few more things about the creature in question. This chapter is not necessary to the story but if read will make a few things later on a bit clearer. If you wish to read than do so, if you rather not then do so.

Rahgahgogarians

  History and General Details: The Rahgahgogarians are a race of mostly passive creatures that live in the sector DM56 on the planet Zenkrad. As for military advancements, before the U.S, forces arrived their civilization was more in the industrial revolution, meaning their technology was comparable to nineteenth century of Earth. Initially the U.S. forces only advanced their medical facilities, but when they were attacked by the more advanced Gohoritykah of sector GA67, the U.S. was forced to give them more advanced tech including the rarer energy weapons and the more common standard bullet using weapons. As of yet the Rahgahgogarians do not use any form of the W suit because of their unique biology and physical form.

  In the first century of this civilization’s recorded history, it depicts a world bathed in blood. Until this time the world of Zenkrad had been inhabited by two races that got along rather passively with each other, besides the occasional boarder battle. At that time neither race had a name except for ‘eastern’ and ‘western’, but their two peoples were not the same at all in their bodily forms. Descriptions of the second party depict a creature that ranged from ten to fourteen feet high. They had six arms and four legs and were truly the world’s strong arms. Besides the fact of having two heads and two brains, they were not so bright at all. The war of the Rahgahgogarians and the other party started officially in year 21 of recorded history, widely excepted by the public to be caused by the second party attacking a mining operation within Rahgahgogarian boarders,  and ended in year 43, when the Rahgahgogarians laid waste to the underground city of the beasts with the aid of explosives. Since then the Rahgahgogarians have been the soul populous of Zenkrad.

  Humans first set foot on Zenkrad on the year 192 and peace was made two weeks later in the year 193. A human embassy was erected near the capital city in the year 210, but was laid waste by the Gohoritykah in the year 221. When the embassy was destroyed the casualties were five Gohoritykahs for each human but one Gohoritykah for ten Rahgahgogarians. The official training camps were set up in the capital city in the year 223 after all Gohoritykah threats were eliminated.  In the year 234 the Gohoritykah attacked with much more power and veritably annihilated all inhabitants of Zenkrad, only to blow up the planet itself later. After that the Rahgahgogarians have lived in Earth as a refuge from their destroyed home world. Since then all Rahgahgogarians have been the second intelligent species on Earth.

  Biology: Rahgahgogarians have been given the nickname ‘sentient plants’ mostly because their bodily functions resemble that of a plant. Rahgahgogarian or Eumycota Sapiens as their scientific name is, feed by photosynthesis and communicate through telepathy, thus eliminating the need for a mouth not to mention they don’t have one. Their eyes do not see color, but instead are extremely sensitive to motion, even though their eyes are not compounded like most creatures that detect motion extremely well. All of the Rahgahgogarian have red eyes and the only feature that makes each unique from the other is their thought waves. Each Rahgahgogarian has its own special thought wave pattern that works like a face to them. Rahgahgogarians stand from five to seven feet tall and have been noted for their bulkiness in both genders. Their legs bent backwards as the legs of cats that also gave them extra running speed.

  Unlike most creatures that are born with one gender and follow through life with the safe, excluding a special fish that turns from a female to a male when its group’s male dies. With Rahgahgogarians, they are born with a nature of both genders meaning they are both conceivable male and female. Upon reaching a suitable age the Rahgahgogarian chooses which gender it will be for the rest off its life. To become a male they will cut off their tail, disconnecting themselves from female reproductive organs that have yet to develop fully, making it harmless to the creature. To become female they simply rip a certain shell, called the hormone cap, from their head, which separates them from male reproductive organs. Being as there is no real provocative nature of body structure between genders, it is simply the choice of preference of the being, completely separate from any provocation by body form or any other reason, being as the only difference between genders is the tail or lack thereof or the hormone cap or the lack thereof.

  Although the gender choosing process seems straight forward, at a time there was a war brought by the fact a group of Rahgahgogarians decided to keep both tail and hormone cap and thus be able to fertilize themselves. This group of being began to be called Flagahtorians, which in old Rahgahgogarian can mean a good number of things according to some. This word ranges from a less demeaning term as idiot to such words that should not be said in the company of children. These bi-gender Flagahtorians were banished off world and have been massacred by both Rahgahgogarians for being traitors to their honor and by Gohoritykah for being related in any form to the Rahgahgogarians. Also there are those who have severed their tails and removed their hormone cap, these are called Devogagorians, who are not shunned by society, instead, are embraced by most. Devogagorians is also a word coming from old Rahgahgogarian that can mean devoted, separated, divided, etc. Devogagorians are usually scientists or warriors, since being unable to reproduce removes that distraction from the mind of warriors and scientists. This category of Rahgahgogarian is greatly revered in society as a whole being as they deprive something of themselves completely to help others without many rewards to be offered them.

  Reproduction: When two of their beings mate the process is rather different from most. The male remove his hormone cap and attaches it to place where the female would have hers and so transfers hormones into her body. For the most part, the male and female will leave each other, only to meet each other again when tending to the young, but until they arrive the female is given the responsibility to hold herself. After the hormone cap has transferred all hormones into the female, it degrades allowing for multiple reproductions. The male eventually grows back his hormone cap allowing for his part to also be repeated. The female’s tail eventually falls off, and when it does, the female must quickly pace it in water. When placed in water it will swell and brake open revealing the number of eggs that were enclosed. After her tail detaches it also regenerates like the male’s hormone cap. After a matter of ten months the eggs will hatch releasing the young Rahgahgogarians. When they are born they have wings that allow them to run from their enemies with more speed than an adult. When they are young, these wings along for flight but as they age the wings become more of a utensil for slowing ones fall or preforming a running technique.
