There may be individual Earth creatures that approach
the Kharaa in terms of physical prowess, in a
particular fashion: a bull elephant and an Onos
engaged in a tug of war, a gazelle and a Skulk
in a 100 meter sprint &#150; but on the whole, the
Kharaa set physical benchmarks in excess of anything
we have observed in nature thus far. From the
crucible of their brutal evolutionary period have
emerged creatures with truly awesome capabilities.</p>
