Builderlar

Builderlar are a fictional species featured in the universe of the video game "Warframe." They are a sentient, insectoid race known for their intricate biological engineering and their role as a primary antagonist faction. Builders are characterized by their hive-like social structure, with distinct castes performing specialized roles within their colonies. Their primary motivation is the expansion and propagation of their species, often through assimilation of other life forms and technological integration.

These creatures possess a highly developed understanding of biotechnology, allowing them to create sophisticated organic weapons, armor, and living ships. Their technology is often described as "grown" rather than manufactured, showcasing a unique blend of biological and mechanical principles. Builders communicate through a form of pheromonal signaling and complex vocalizations that are not fully understood by other races.

Within the "Warframe" narrative, Builders pose a significant threat due to their adaptability and relentless nature. They are encountered in various forms, from swarming infantry to formidable bio-mechanical monstrosities. Their presence often signifies a corrupted or overrun environment, as they have a tendency to infest and transform planets to suit their needs. The ongoing conflict between the Tenno, the player's faction, and the Builders is a central theme in the game's lore.
