Species (Races) in MgT 2e

I mean, the odds are that Hiver manipulations have involved uplifting something somewhere sometime.

And who knows what those crazy Vargr have gotten up to? Would not be shocked if some leader somewhere started a holy mission to uplift any unevolved brethren they thought the space god was telling them to...

Doesn't feel like a K'Kree thing. They like things just how they are. Might they have produced a Doctor Moreau? Sure. Good luck on finding any record of them after their blasphemous and disturbing experiments were discovered, destroyed, redacted, purged and disintegrated.

Grandfather was a manipulation by a Hiver Temporal Agent.

K'kree uplifting carnivores and changing them to be vegetarian. lol

There are at least two franchises with veggy felines.
On Thundercats Snarf made an off the wall comment of fixing applesauce for dinner.
In the SFB version of Trek, Caitans are vegetarian.
I thought both were absurd, myself.

But K'kree uplifts occurred to me also, and seem quite likely. "What else can we do with Gnakh?" Progressive K'kree "Well...here's an idea..."

Better than genocide...barely...lol...

Nah. See, changing a carnivore to be vegetarian would not really make sense to them. You'd have to wipe out all the old meat eaters ANYWAY, why are you bothering to replace them? Just bring in actual vegetarians if you need slaves. K'Kree are pretty chill on the whole genocide thing.

Forcing omnivores to go vegetarian is what progressive K'Kree do. The conservative ones would shoot all those too.

Fair enough! lol

Would make a fortune.

If it smells and tastes like meat... purge time!

Yeah, I'd have to think the K'kree would be horrified by veggie burgers and the like. It would be tantamount to someone on Earth selling a veggie burger designed to look and taste like a dead baby. (I appreciate that there are people who'd probably buy it, but I'd bet you they'd be wildly outnumbered.)

At least going by the CT K'kree book, the Two Thousand Worlds encompass several human colonies whose inhabitants have survived by embracing vegetarianism. The Lords of Thunder however would probably just kill them all and let the Celestial Steppelord sort them out.

One thing I do wonder about is where the Centaurs stand on insects? Insectivores might get a pass; certainly Terran herbivores often appreciate them.

"Fish eaters" (cetaceans and the like) get a pass, IIRC. Something something complications about whether fish count, or swimming creatures can be gnakh, or something...
If dolphins get a pass, I'm sure ladybugs would.

Religious dietary matters are often a bit odd

Ahem. The Pythagoreans had very logical reasons to not eat beans.

 

[GypsyComet]

As a race of agrarians the K'kree are, IMO, highly tolerant of insectivores unless their particular digestive processes make them smell like a carnivore. Then instinct takes over. This is the exemption the Ciruwar operate under.

The mock veggie burger thing. Channel 4 in the UK did a mock documentary about that a couple of years ago. People thought it was real and were up in arms.
