Jokaero

The Jokaero are a species that features in Warhammer 40,000.

History

The Jokaero were a humanoid alien species that were created by the Old Ones. During the closing days of the War in Heaven, the desperate Old Ones brought forth newer creations to defend the last of their strongholds. These creations included the green-skinned Krork and the technology mimicking Jokaero. Regardless of their efforts, the Old Ones were doomed when their intergalactic network was breached by psychic spawn of their creations.

Overview

In appearance, the Jokaero were heavyset, orange-furred apes with retractable fingers and toes with them resembling the orang-utans of ancient Terra.

Described as being not a truly intelligent species but one possessing an instinctive knowledge of how to create incredible technologies. In fact, they were technosavants without peer and have an instinctive understanding of machinery and technological systems.

Its known that they raid small areas for construction material which they can use to create incredible weapons to defend themselves. They are capable of producing highly advanced pieces of technology such as miniature digital weapons which fit on a finger. Another device was a surveillance system which incorporated tiny mechanical flies that were controlled by a single user which required simple psychic input in order to direct them.
