Brief History:  
The Grendagorain (or Grendagor as more commonly called) is a non-indigenous Reptilian species commonly found in the outer rim of the galaxy. Theses intimidating creatures roots are traced back to a large backwater planet only know by the name "Horrus", a large rocky planet known to for its constant tectonic plates shifting and shaping the land. It is said the Grendagors spent most of their existence waging war aongst each other for complete control of their large rocky safe heaven, though its not entirely clear how the species began to expand off Horrus and into the known universe, our only sources speculate that the Grendagor's most likely collected technology from any species that had the unfortunate luck of discovering their rocky stronghold. 

The present time has seen the Grendagorian population explode among large areas of the Universe which has seen the species now come into conflict with many different galatic communities and empires; even The Dark Blade Clan has seen a small amount of Grendagorain factions challenge our hunting growns soverinty, luckily they make for good sport.

Edridion Inteligence:
Numerous Grendagor factions, companies, and rogues are believed to live and thrive in many parts of the Edridion System. their short tempers and lust for violence make them a prime proprietor for any hostility you may come across during your stay, they take their territorial claims very seriously and its strongly discouraged that you violate them unless you have to. many lone wolf Grendagor's however live on Edridion, but be advised as large numbers of them are bounty hunters, hit-men, and assassins, by now this shouldn't be surprising to you.  

Nature and inteligence:  
If you have learned anything from the small amount of information from the "brief history" segment, Grendagor's are incredibly vicious and brutal, however they do possess emotions such as empathy, pity, and compassion ,though expect never to see these emotions in public as they are very reserved creatures, but its not impossible to befriend one.  

The Grendagor will almost always take a challenge head on it thinks it can win, this has made them a respected and feared foe the galaxy, while always keen to look for a fight, and spill some blood for no reason other then enjoyment, Grendagor's are quite quiet and reserved creatures when not brawling and killing, don't expect to see them at the center of the room collecting and bathing in attention.

Intelligence wise, while not the stupidest creature in the known universe, Grendagorain's are known for their fighting will and brutal nature, not problem solving and creative skills. But that doesn't mean you should underestimate what intelligence the have. they are keen street smart learners and can use almost any technology if shown how to, though it might take them longer to learn more complicated tasks involving technology.

Culture:
The Grendagorain culture is very simple to understand, prove yourself to be able to hold you're own, and win by any means necessary. while Grendagor's have come a long way from being nothing more then a "mindless violent" species in the far reaches of space; one must understand that while they have evolved and become civilized in many aspects, their culture and societal values remain almost unchanged, the strongest rules over the weak, this has made the Grendagor's a very powerful race, but their sectarian nature has kept them from ever wielding true power in the Universe, maybe that's a good thing.

language
their native tounge is mainly full of body lamguage, growls and grumbles, this can be quite a complicated language to understand, but basic hospitality among the species is a mere bow of the head, though you should avoid this, unlike most species Grendagor's are greatly insulted by others practicing their traditions. They can speak English very well and can catch on many expressions and slang terms right well, meaning sadly, any jokes or jabs at them will have to be in you're own native tounge, which Most Grendagor's struggle to understand. 

Combat:
A single Grendagor is not much of a risk or challenge to a Covert Operative such as yourself. but they are not to be underestimated in numbers, more commonly than not unfortunately they attack in groups to overwhelm their foes. while you will notice that most Grendagor's on Edridion are packing serious firepower (mainly laser rifles and pistols) its close range where their brutal reputation shines, their jaws are strong, not as powerful as a Xenomorph bite, but they will definitely make a nasty mess.

strengths and weaknesses.  

Severing limbs has been known to decrease their threat, but don't be surprised if cutting off and arm does little in calming down one of these guys.
choosing to run instead of fight is quite foolish. if you start something be prepared to finish it, Grendagor's don't forgive and forget attackers.
Their eyes are almost as sharp as yours, but their hearing and sense of smell is almost human level dangerous, use this information wisely fellow Operative.
Blinding them almost certainly will cease their threat.
their skin can withstand large amounts of heat so flame weapons are not recommended. 
cunning wit and intelligence, while not entirely stupid, creative traps and plans are likely to be successful.
all in all their attacks are deadly when played out at the right time, but they aren't thinking too much about attacks played again them, thinking ahead and anticipating their attacks will reward you with the job done quicker. 

observant facts
As seen in the example image above, its quite common to come across Grendagor's with mechanical limbs different shapes and sizes, mainly replacing limbs or chunks of their bodies lost in fights, this proves that they do have some technical know how. Though the quality of said mechanical limbs and gear varies from sophisticated hardware, to little more than pieces of trash. 
Grendagor's buy most of their weapons, though some of the larger crime firms and factions produce their own gear.
When not fighting or engaging in combat, its been said they are good scrape hunters, understandable since most limbs they create to replace ones they loose are from scrape.   

I hope this information proves useful. safe passage and best of luck A'ka'an-Dra

About time I tried making something or my own thumbs up to anyone that reads off this information

Thought it would be a cool idea to do species bio's for some critters that will appear in The Allure Of Edridion thought it would be more interesting to write these so they're kinda like data files The Dark Blade Clan or some other character yet to reveal themselves has left for   character A'ka'an-Dra while he is on his mission

Won't say much for those who have read this whole information sheet but hope you enjoy

making of facts: 
The Grendagor's appearance is actually based off of a reptilian species I used to draw back in primary school, thought it would be cool to give them an update now
can't remember what I called them, but the glowing red eyes are what i loved about them
some inspiration for these creatures came from 50's and 60's reptilian aliens mainly the humanoid look
I didn't actually base these guys off of any dinosaur lizard, or reptile while drawing them (I don't really know any anyway ) the only references I used where old sketches I found from primary school

Enjoy watchers, more to come hopefully and hope you like this different species.
