Korob

Korob is a fictional species originating from the popular video game series Halo. They are insectoid creatures known for their collective intelligence and hive-like social structure. Individually, a Korob appears small and relatively weak, but they are capable of coordinating their actions with incredible efficiency. This allows them to swarm enemies and overcome much larger threats through sheer numbers and organized strategy.

The biology of the Korob is characterized by a chitinous exoskeleton and multiple limbs, adapted for rapid movement and climbing. They communicate through a complex series of pheromones and clicks, which is understood by all members of their hive. This forms the basis of their collective consciousness, enabling them to act as a single, unified entity. They are often found in large numbers and are a common threat in the Halo universe, particularly in environments that can support their propagation. Their primary function within their ecosystem or society, as depicted in the games, is often related to resource gathering and defense of their nests or hives. While not possessing advanced technology themselves, their adaptability and numbers make them a significant, if often overlooked, element of the Halo lore.
