[edit] The Vipers
The Viper race in the Heroscape Universe are a non-humanoid and barely-sentient species that dwells in the swamps of the planet Marr. While they are described as a peaceful race, they have a history of violence with the other dominate species they share their homeplanet with: the Marro. It is said that each Viper goes into battle carrying the talons of a race called the Raptorians, a bird-like species said to have once ruled over the Viper race. They were overthrown by the Viper Warlords, a super sub-species of Viper with true intelligence who now lead the Vipers.
Because the majority of the species lack true sentience Viper technology is relatively nonexistent with the exception of simple armor worn by the Viper Warlord.
[edit] Toys
Viper Sets that have appeared:
- Elite Onyx Vipers
(Exclusive Set) An elite squad of black Vipers.
(Their bio indicates they are elusive warriors sent to engage enemies with range weapons which might inflict damage on the traditionally weak defense Viper units.)
Malliddon’s Prophecy:
- Venoc Warlord
Viper General
(Even though the Venocs are largely an unintelligent species, there are some who have developed true intelligence. The Venoc Warlord, a super species of Viper, has developed enough brainpower to speak, work out battle tactics, and lead his scouts effectively on the battlefield. In the company of his scouts, the Venoc Warlord enhances their relentless, frenzied attacks.)
- Venoc Vipers
Standard Viper Squad
(Although fearsome to behold, Venoc Vipers are a passive, swamp-dwelling species. They will fight fiercely, however, when called upon to do so-especially with their lifelong enemies, the Marro Warriors from their planet of Marr. Vipers and the Marros have a long history of war, so the Venoc Vipers were happy to join General Ullar in the battle against Utgar's army. Venoc Vipers are brave, fast moving (especially in water) and relentless, but they do not possess the intelligence to be cunning or highly tactical.)
Zanafor’s Discovery
- Armoc Vipers
Viper Guards
(When Ullar saw the visions of the Armoc Vipers, he was pleased. He knew pure power and feocity would not be enough to win the most critical battles. The role they play on Valhalla is the same role they played on Marr: they are the powerful protectors of the Venoc Warlord. Their speed in water and advanced defensive abilities make them well-suited to work on the front lines in any of Ullar's Campaigns.)
