Krogan Race Revealed for Mass Effect

The Krogan race, a species of large reptilian bipeds that play a vital role in the universe of Mass Effect, has been revealed on the official Mass Effect web site.

Native to the planet Tuchanka, the Krogan race suffered a huge setback at the dawn of their nuclear age, as a global war decimated the species. For 2000 years, the Krogan were reduced to primitive warring clans struggling to survive a nuclear winter of their own creation until they were discovered by the Salarians. Similar to other reptilian species, the Krogan reproduce and mature at an astonishing rate, while their thick hides are virtually impervious to cuts, scrapes, or contusions.

You'll encounter Krogans as you explore the galaxy.

However, the Krogan's most amazing physiological feature of the species are the multiple instances of major organs—these secondary systems are capable of serving as back-ups in the event of damage to the primary biological structures, making the Krogan incredibly difficult to kill.

Throughout the month you can continue to uncover more Mass Effect information and details on the Krogan race, so check back often for the latest info.

Krogan History
The Krogan are a species of large reptilian bipeds native to the planet Tuchanka, a world known for its harsh environments, scarce resources, and overabundance of vicious predators. The Krogan managed to not only survive on their unforgiving homeworld, but actually thrived in the extreme conditions. Unfortunately, as Krogan society become more technologically advanced, so did their weaponry.

The Krogan may prove to be valuable allies.

Four thousand years ago, at the dawn of the Krogan nuclear age, battles to claim the small pockets of territory capable of sustaining life escalated into full-scale global war. Weapons of mass destruction were unleashed, transforming Tuchanka into a radioactive wasteland. The Krogan themselves were reduced to primitive warring clans struggling to survive a nuclear winter of their own creation … a state that continued until they were discovered by the Salarians two thousand years later.
