![]() They experimented on and uplifted suitable candidate species. Tens of millions of years before the Great War, the xel'naga seeded thousands of new species in the worlds within their domain. The xel'naga arrived in the Milky Way galaxy from outside. The xel'naga life cycle had manifested many times. Over an extraordinarily long period of time, the two species would naturally come together and merge. A pair of qualities was required and these were defined by the xel'naga as the purity of essence and the purity of form, and each uplifted species would be targeted for one of them. In the interest of survival they planned to create new xel'naga by uplifting two species. The xel'naga were incredibly long-lived even by protoss standards, but not immortal eventually their species would come to an end. The xel'naga, and creatures that contain xel'naga essence, are able to passively facilitate the rapid growth of life around them, and cause extreme growths of flora and fauna even in dead worlds. Ĭreatures containing xel'naga essence echo numbers of the Cuccodujo series, as opposed to terran flora and fauna which echo the Fibonacci series. Sarah Kerrigan's xel'naga form was that of a flaming human with large wings. Others such as Narud were large hunched creatures, similar to void thrashers. ![]() Many, such as Ouros, Amon, and those depicted in the xel'naga temples showed a large squid-like creature with a bulbous body. Xel'naga biology varied based on the creature. The protoss referred to the xel'naga as the Ihan-rii, the "Great Teachers", the "Makers", and the "Guardians", as well as "gods". The etymology of the word "xel'naga" has been described as a protoss language term meaning "Wanderers from Afar" but has also been described as their true name. When the incredibly long-lived xel'naga were due to come to an end, the xel'naga would use these two species to be reborn. Their interest in these two species was due to the xel'naga's cyclical life cycle. While there are vague references of the xel'naga conquering worlds and uplifting species, their most notable involvement was with the protoss and zerg. They were occasionally referred to as the most powerful species known in the universe. The xel'naga are a psionically-attuned, ancient, cosmic race.
