Community The Agaran Menace

Why wouldn't they? We know they eat any animal species and nature has shown us that predators usually go for the weakest prey (babies), also the codex has stated many times that their not above such actions.
Also i know its biased but one of the Hylotl responses are ''Take the children inside honey, there's a Floran here''

 

Might I ask which codex? I don't doubt it as, mentally, Florans are as detached from animal kingdom species as humans are from other animals. It's really not a moral issue since for them it'd be the equivalent of a person eating an egg or veal or caviar, and most folks don't give people issue for that.

Also that's a pretty stock phrase, usually when trouble comes a knocking. Nowhere near an indicator of child prone violence so much as shielding children from a violent situation.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if Florans are more likely to shield the children of races they don't always consider food. I.E. Humans, Glitch, Maybe Avians, and probably Novakid. (Unless they have some sort of sick fuel plan for them).

 

Doesn't necessarily mean they are afraid of having their children eaten, And even if they are it doesn't mean it will happen. Anyway Florans keep giant bones as trophies, And make furniture out of them. Children are too small to make impressive bone trophies, Or decent furniture.

 

Novakid racial ability: One with your Ship
They chop off their hand and put it into their fuel thing. Because they are made of nebulous gas, they can easily re-grow their hand.
Or they could just throw it at something and set it on fire.

 

There are codex entries that show that the Floran eat all races besides the Glitch and possibly Novakids. Remember the Florans are savage, there is no reason why they wouldn't kill them.

I know, it was just a small quote hence biased
Florans need to eat its nature, and we know that they have no understanding of non-plant based life forms so try and think of it like cavemen. They would try and hunt the large mammoths for food and status but it was very dangerous and much more than often they would attack the offspring, it's not stated anywhere that they eat children, but i think its a pretty accurate assumption, there's no reason why they wouldn't and there isn't any evidence against it.

 

A literal HANDGrenade?....I'll show myself out now

 

They aren't entirely savage. They speak of eating races, but don't always do it, unless provoked.

 

Sorry to burst you're bubble but from an entirely non biased point of view, the lore strongly suggests otherwise, you're character even left to ''hunt bigger prey'', they remind me of the reavers of serenity. In all of the codex's, the Florans are always the first to attack, its not self defense they're hunters, they hunt, kill, eat and colonize and since everything to them is classed as prey....You have to understand that from a Floran perspective, there really is no difference between a fully grown Avian and a chick except one is easier to kill, but the other offers greater reward, odds are it would just kill them both for food and prestige.

 

Yes. A HAND grenade. Alright, someone start making a mod for that!

 

Well....... Example? Or is this just Hylotl propaganda?

 

When it comes to Florans, there isn't always a difference.

 

Ok. Still hate Hylotl, and would only play one if they had backstories. Gangster Teen Hylotl FTW.

 

There's also a small chance of a glitch occurring, and one spawning as loot even if mods had not been used. The glitch food item corntent uses one, due to a bug. It's supposed to use a tentacle.

...Right now, it doesn't matter what we do to/with the agarans because of the upcoming world wipe. Even if we eradicate them, the world wipe will just bring back more.

 

Hylotl race is master race.

That's why I systematically purge every floran I encounter. Every single one.

 

I'd say something about that, but half of this thread is about genocide, so....

 

I think the wipe will reveal their true nature. That dip into the chaos as they fuse

 

Florans, however, are not predators running solely on instinct. They can reason and such. Where in the codex does it EVER say Florans are not above eating babies? Seriously, show me, because I've read all the codexes, and I don't remember any Floran baby eating.

One reason the Florans like the Glitch so much is because the Glitch actually respect them as equals, as opposed to other races, who treat them like unintelligent savages.
I
really don't understand where the second part of this was going. You talk about how Florans have no concept of plant based life (they do, by the way. Just nothing intelligent, and a lot of Floran "animals" are more like plants here on earth. Boneboo and Oculemon are good examples.) and then go right on to talking about how they are like cavemen, who hunted mammoths, which makes no sense, because humans had plenty of concepts of animal based life.

\By the way, a mammoth offspring was very difficult to kill, as the adults would circle around the young, preventing them from being attacked. Ancient humans probably didn't attack a adolescent mammoth unless it was separated from the group and easy to take out, because tracking and killing a child mammoth took about the same effort to kill an adult, with much fewer bonuses.

What lore? Your character leaves to hunt "bigger prey", which I presume was a reference to knowledge, as your character leaves because he is shamed for being an intelligent Floran who can actually read and do math. Basically, your Floran character runs away after being bullied for being a huge nerd.
"Tired of Floran savagery, you have taken to the stars to pursue a more honourable hunt." "You Long to stab, but not just any old thing. You have honour. Integrity. You want more out of life"
Keep in mind, Florans refer to writing as "stabbing the paper".

Anyway, I'd like to bring up my final point. Hylotl and other races almost certainly have no problem eating "baby" vegetables, like baby corn, bamboo shoots, floran seeds and shoots (especially YOU, Villhelm) ect, so why do you have a problem with our unlikely eating of tadpoles and eggs?

 

I think you may have misread his post - Villhelm meant that they DO understand plant life, and DON'T understand animal life.
Also, yeah, I think when he said that the chick was easier to kill, he DID mean the ones that have been separated from their protective parents.

Also, why do we actually care whether Florans eat babies?
Some certainly do, while most others probably don't, esp. those living in more civilized ways, and/or with Glitch.

 

Hey, guys!
This thread is about Agarans, not whether or not the Florans are stupid plants.
Lets get on topic.​
