Starting Rank: Kindred
Starting Traits: Jungle Fighter: The Kroot come from the feral, tropical world Pech. A lush, tree filled jungle world that is far from Hospitable. Benefit: Kroot gain +10 to any tests made in feral, jungle or other natural environments. Carrion Eater: This race is infamous for their barbaric habit of eating the carcass of their fallen enemies. This habit is lengthy and annoying for the Kroot’s allies. However the effects of the Kroot doing this a very visible, for his allies will see him gain the strength and speed of his slain enemy.

enemy they may have one of the following effects: -They gain 1d5+TB lost wounds back or heal 1 critical damage. -Gain +10 to any Characteristic for 1d10 rounds. -Gain +10 to all tests for 1d5 rounds. -Lose 1d5 Fatigue. -Gain 1d10xIB experience. Primitive: Though star faring, the Kroot are and have always been feral beings; sticking to tradition and primitive close combat weaponry as oppose to evolving their technology along with those that found them, the Tau. It is for this reason that the creatures are inadaptable with everyday society. But unlike Imperial feral worlders, theirs is a choice.

that makes them more dangerous adversaries wounded then at full health. Benefit: Eldar Corsairs always counted as lightly wounded for the purposes of healing. In addition, whenever they drop to half their starting wounds, they become Frenzied until healed. Darkling: The Eldar Corsairs, though spending their lives mostly on their race’s starships, most are born on or born from parents that are from Night Worlds.

“They are fierce indeed these Kroot, and savage. I look upon them and tremble at their ferocity. I can only hope that when the enemy sees them they tremble as I do.” -Por’vre Tau Cho, Water caste. From the beginning, Kroot are raised in trials by fire. The Kroot Carnivore race was first discovered by the intellectual Tau Empire. They were one of the few races to not resist the Tau’s “greater good” methodology. Though no resistance was made, they Kroot were far from assimilated. The Kroot race are warriors and warriors only. Their children are raised as hunters, their hunters raised as Warriors and it is from this path that a Kroot may choose its path. A Kroot has the choice to return home, aid its kin, or do battle among the stars. Though, hundreds flock home to learn medicine and other trades, it is the Grand Fighters that make up the fighting ranks of the Kroot. The Kroot themselves are mercenaries. They care not for personal prejudices or glorious battles, and fight for others only with the promise of a glorious paycheck at the end of the day. It is this mentality that has forced them to do operations with the Eldar, Orks, Imperium and even dark forces of Chaos behind the extremely prejudice iron fist of the Tau Empire or risk their own annihilation. Their primary defense is their body structure. Formed of hard quills that absorb impact and form strength stronger than muscle, their bodies form a terrifying visage that can not only intimidate their weaker opponents into submission, but slaughter the stronger one in combat. In addition, the Kroot have an empty gene structure that, upon eating their fallen enemies, bonds with their enemy’s compete
