    If you look up the definition for Cruel you'll see that this is describing the Floran. Cruel is about disregard of life and less about evil.

    the only problem with that is that florans dont cause suffering to most of the things they kill, its a quick and painless (or close) death
    if its about a disregard of life then its the apex, for they torture people, rob them of freedom, and just cause them to suffer in all kinds of ways

    Cruelty indicates maliciousness, IE, an active desire to cause pain and suffering. I don't really see that applying to Florans. They hunt to kill for food and trophies, not to cause pain.

    Apex have torture chambers and "thought repurposing" chambers, Avians bury people alive, Hylotl are deeply suspicious and arrogant (not sure about malicious yet). Glitch aren't malicious even in their hivemind form, and humans seem more naive than malicious.

    It's less cruel to stab an animal in the head and kill it instantly than it is to break the animal's legs and have it starve to death in your dungeon.

    Yeah I don't think Floran have dungeons.

    We're confusing instinct with cruelty here. The Floran have a primitive mind. They don't have time for torturing their prey when they have mouths to feed.

    Florans have a prison where they keep particularly violent inmates. The prisons are called "The Dust", collectively, and they function as the Floran dungeon. There, the guards are all Drysap users in order to minimize their Water usage, which slowly corrupts the minds of the user in to becoming aloof and antisocial-- the more intelligent the Floran is, the more extreme the mental transformation is. Eventually they start hallucinating about the Oaken Soldiers and commit deeds "unspeakable even to Florans", according to one particularly intelligent Floran who ended up so addicted to Drysap that they had to be injected every day.

    I stand corrected.

    Yeah, here it is. Haven't even found one of those in the game yet. Shows what I know.

    A Hylotl poem of the Hylotl-Floran war:

    Teeth and claws, blood blue, and captives tightly strung

    Sharp edges, the cry of my dying young

    The crackle of burnt egg-pods and monsters' savage war-cries

    We cannot win, we can only try

    Someday soon I'll avenge my lover

    For now I've got a weapon to discover

    Floran blood is blue.
    For those who were curious :L

    Hylotl deserve stab. Stupid frogmen and their "dark secret".

    Floran knows what you did.

    I still think the Avian are the most cruel, simply because they do the whole entombing thing, and the lure+sacrifice (so many temples on random planets inviting explorers in to their dooms). And that they even teach their young that jumping from very tall towers is a good thing.

    Also, Hylotl don't paint properly. They use paint-by-numbers. Even Florans are better than that.

    Hylotl are also incredibly racist and supremacist, too, even more than any other species. Every single one of their tier ten Impervium weapons are designed solely to kill Florans, but they fail. Ssstupid frogmen.

    Oh a big shot,have we?

    I would like to remind your racial armour ability is something you can naturaly do...:rofl:

    And trust me kiddo,for a vastly "superior race",a bunch of walking Cabbages have destroyed your homeplanet and are indeed ever so much more capable in combat than you:lod:

    Those punny lil Impervium Katanas?A bunch of Cabages have managed to make weapons like it,despiete being "inferior",and our armour is infact better looking and with a much superior racial bonus.

    Its a freaking Jacket that absorbs light and a single kick from a boot shaters bone.Its a freaking Heat absorbing suit of Impervium that grants extra energy.You ripped of Darth Vader...

    Begone,you Hipster Frog,begone:facepalm:

    I chose glitch because 1 a glitch is a glitch and turning self aware to slaves of their own race is just cold ;(

    This is literally turning into a battlefield, why can't we just stop this pathetic argument .-.
    Its wrong to complain about racial weaponry, because they're literally the same in terms of efficiency...

    In short?

    The entirety of the Hipster Frogmen weapons are named as Floran killers,when,realy,a bunch of "Cabages" have been able to destroy their home planet and outclass every single Hylotl in Combat and with much lower Techonlogical Progress,craft weaponry with t he same amount of quality...

    DEATH TO HYLOTL!
    Just roleplay bro,chill:iswydt:
