![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The most important change is that the brain expands, giving a Protector a tremendous intellect. A second heart develops near the groin, the mouth fuses into a beak, and all sexual characteristics disappear. A Protector's joints expand to give his muscles a greater momentum, his skin wrinkles into a tough armor, and his nails turn into retractile claws. Around 40 years of age, the root of the Tree-of-Life plant begins to smell delicious to all Breeders, and when they eat it, a virus inherent in the plant causes them to metamorphose into the Protector stage. Pak Breeders are not particularly intelligent, but are stronger and heartier than humans. A Pak is born, and matures into a Breeder, at which point he and she may bear children. The species has three main stages of development: Child, Breeder, Protector. Protectors originated with a species called Pak, which lives on a planet near the Milky Way core. A Protector is described as a 'fighting machine,' with armor-like skin, super-human strength and super-human intelligence. The Protector form is achieved when a breeder stage hominid consumes the virus present in Tree-of-Life. Protectors represent the final stage of maturation for the Pak and other hominids which follow the same maturing process. ![]()
