Vrook

Vrook is a fictional alien species appearing in the Mass Effect video game series. They are a sentient, bipedal race native to the planet Vroatica. Vrooks are characterized by their tough, chitinous exoskeletons, which provide natural armor, and their four eyes, offering a wide field of vision. Their physiology is adapted to Vroatica's harsh environment, including a higher tolerance for radiation.

Culturally, Vrooks are known for their pragmatic and direct approach to life. They are a highly militaristic society, valuing strength, discipline, and efficiency. This has led them to be formidable warriors and a significant presence in galactic politics and military affairs. Their society is organized into a rigid hierarchy, with a strong emphasis on duty and collective responsibility.

In the Mass Effect universe, Vrooks are often depicted as allies to humanity, particularly during conflicts against common enemies like the Geth and the Reapers. They possess advanced technology, especially in the fields of weaponry and ship design. Their relationship with other races can sometimes be strained due to their blunt communication style and perceived arrogance, but their reliability as allies is generally unquestioned by those who have fought alongside them. Vrooks also have a unique sonic-based language, which further differentiates them from other species.
