In the Warhammer 40,000 universe, the Kroot are a species of humanoids that evolved from avian creatures. Kroot are tall aliens (a good half-meter taller than most humans), their avian ancestry giving them a bird-like beak and long quills protruding from their heads like hair. Smaller quills, possibly the evolutionary remnants of feathers, can be found scattered over their bodies.
A Kroot Carnivore Squad, including Kroothounds and a KrootoxAn unusual feature of the Kroot is that they evolve by selecting traits of their defeated foes to absorb by eating them. Due to this, the many Kroot warbands across the galaxy often look radically different. Kroot leaders are known as Shapers; they are generally the Kroot with the best ability for recognising desirable traits in defeated foes and tell his Kindred (the word for a Kroot clan) what to eat to suit the task at hand. For instance, a Shaper who wants his Kroot to gain muscle mass will take on campaigns against Orks to acquire the right DNA, while extensive feeding on flying predators will allow the Kroot to grow wings. This eating of their foes ties in with the religious beliefs of the Kroot: they believe that when a warrior of any race dies, his warrior spirit should be kept, and the only way to do this is by eating his flesh. The Kroot practice this in their "burial" customs, in which the body of the deceased is consumed by the kindred.
Kroot who prey extensively on a particular species will begin to take the characteristics of that creature. In sentient species such as Orks and Humans, they may also take on cultural aspects of that race as well. Kroot who have fed on Dark Eldar, for example, soon begin to show signs of the cunning and intense cruelty the Dark Eldar are known for.

Get the Kroot mug.A Fruit Krook is the dumbest, idiot known to man. When driving they will pull out in front of you without looking. They go through red lights and stop at green lights. They display no common sense and will drive anyone nuts.

It also incurrs that the person who is "late", (in quotes as they are only following kootenay time, not late as others may say) also lives in the beautiful area surrounded by the rocky montains called "the Kootenays"
The airy nature of the residents is probably due to the gorgeous surroundings they are inhabited in so they really don't care about the rest of the world ; they are on Kootenay time.

Get the Kootra mug.Krogoth is actually the unit from a popular Chris Tailor's video game "Total Annihilation"
Only availible in the expansion set "The Core Contingency", the Krogoth, or also known as "Commander Killer", is the strongest unit in the game itself, and thus perfectly matches Core's strategy, which is based mostly on sheer firepower and armor superiority. Being more than 100 meters tall, having 29,918 Hit Points, and being armed by most advanced Anti-air, ballistic, and laser-based weaponry, the Krogoth can easily overpower even the strongest defence systems, and eliminate an enemy commander. Krogoth is only availible for the Core to build, and requires 29,489 units of metal, and 116,664 units of energy to construct one. It also is rated "Experimental", and thus must be constructed in so called "Krogoth Gantries".
As well as all other units in the game, the Krogoth can be destroyed by a single blow from a Commander's D-gun.
