Little more than 500 years ago, cockroaches together with some moss were sent on Mars, in order to start a Mars Terraforming Project. It's also shown terra formars eat each other when they die as to avoid wasted nutrients.Īs a side note they're apparently perfectly edible as shown by Joseph when he ate one's claw to regenerate. Some of them also take vitamin supplements such as crustacean or mollusks types in order to boost their abilities. On earth it's shown they can eat curry and rice as well as seal meat. Their diet used to just consist of the moss seen growing on mars but added in silkworm moths after BUGS 2. Due to this, a Terraformar can still move even after being decapitated, as long as the subesophagael ganglion is intact and there is an open passage to the lungs. Their central nervous system is unchanged, and the body is controlled by the subesophageal ganglion located in the chest, rather than the head. Because they are human-sized, they've evolved lungs which enables them to absorb oxygen more efficiently. They can burn amylose polysaccharides for a massive burst of energy. (Although Terraformars who bulk up by eating insect protein are too heavy to do so) The Terraformars breathe using trachea all over their body. Under their carapace on their back, they have wings, which grants them the ability to fly.

They still posses cerci and antenna from their roach ancestors. The third is anyone who's injured and the fourth are female targets. The first pick is anyone who's holding something (weapons). They prioritize their targets when attacking humans. These things only serve to help a project an Evolved Terraformar wishes to accomplish. All Terraformars also have a great work ethic, and since they can't feel pain or exhaustion they're quite liable to literally work themselves to death. They also appear to be somewhat intelligent. Under an Invoker's influence they have sense of community but to them there's is no difference in attachment to their parents than a roadside flower. They don't appear to have much of a society, but the Evolved Terraformars do display a degree of leadership, rallying their brothers into a capable fighting force. There are many types, and their exact behavior can vary depending on the individual, but they usually keep an emotionless expression on their faces. They are descendants of cockroaches and seem to bear a sort of instinctive hatred for humanity. They are animalistic, adaptable, and bent on survival. They bear a physical resemblance to Homo erectus. The Terraformars are human-sized Martian cockroaches with humanoid bodies.
