Toboroz

Toboroz is a fictional entity that appears in the writings of the author L. Ron Hubbard, most notably in his science fiction novel "Battlefield Earth." Within the narrative of "Battlefield Earth," toboroz are described as a type of large, reptilian alien creature native to the planet of Psychlo. They are depicted as being highly intelligent and technologically advanced, forming the dominant species of their home world.

The Psychlos, as they are also known, are characterized by their formidable physical presence and their aggressive, imperialistic tendencies. They are portrayed as having conquered numerous planets, including Earth, which they have stripped of its resources and enslaved its human population. The toboroz are the architects and enforcers of this galactic dominion. Their society is hierarchical and militaristic, with a strong emphasis on efficiency and control.

In "Battlefield Earth," the toboroz are the primary antagonists, representing a powerful and ruthless alien force. Their motivations are driven by a desire for expansion and the exploitation of other species. The narrative follows a human protagonist who, along with a small group of rebels, attempts to overthrow the toboroz occupation of Earth. The concept of the toboroz serves as a central element in Hubbard's exploration of themes such as oppression, resistance, and the potential for interspecies conflict.
