Over millions of years, an ancient race of either frogs or snakes evolved into a mighty species known as the Encyclopods. They resemble gigantic manta rays, with an atmosphere-like dome and eggs that have the appearance of Violet Dwarf Stars. They apparently have the power to communicate with their minds. They harvest DNA of every endangered species. For years they have battled the Dark Ones, in the Arms Race of Evolution but finally won in 3009.
