[QUOTE="mythusmage, post: 3294207, member: 571"] They're idiots. Start with an Earth-sized world orbiting a dull red dwarf star. Add what looks remarkably like a cartoon octopus. A quadropus in effect. Give them psychic abilities, suspicious minds, and a strong desire to remake the universe into something that resembles their home. Part of the plan was to remake everybody else into them. This was to be done through a virus, the virus would infect the victim and reshape him into a kekihj, our "evil race". Just one problem, immune systems. For most folks the infection meant stuffy noses. At the worst it resulted in the creature most people think of when they hear the word, "kekihj" (my version of the illithid). Other monsters are the result of this virus, including carrion crawlers and displacer beasts. While the kekihj were working on the virus the dragons got involved. They offered their assistance, and even helped spread the virus when it was ready. At the same time they were keeping various deities up to date on the scheme, and "engineering" the virus so it would not have the effect the kekihj wanted it to have. To make a long story short, the kekihj scheme failed, the kekihj were put on probation, and they promised to behave themselves. Currently they are working avidly in secret places on a better plan, with the assistance of their good buddies, the dragons. Have I mentioned they're idiots? [/QUOTE]
