Gnashast

The Gnashast are one of the sixteen minor factions available in Endless Space 2.

A relatively-recent addition to the isles of its home planet, the Gnashast are the descendants of benthic horrors that crawled onto the land a few hundred thousand years earlier.
With the existing fauna ill-prepared to survive this new onslaught from the depths (especially as sea levels rose, lessening the amount of habitable land) the Gnashast quickly became the planet's primary predator; now entering the space age they are still as aggressive as when they made their first forays onto the tidal flats of their homeworld. Not the most welcoming of races, the Gnashast nonetheless can make strong allies if handled well.
