Pinthi
Description
The Pinthi are a race of intelligent bioweapons, genetically engineered viruses which have gained a measure of sentience after millions of generations of evolution. Originally created (or discovered) by the Scryve, the Pinthi committed many atrocities during the millenia before they achieved awareness. Feeling great regret for these crimes, the Pinthi now despise the Scryve and are one of the few races in the area actively resisting them. They're still hated and feared by everyone else though, as horrific bioweapons so often are.
