Stronius

Stronius was an Elite Class Skrall who was given a name after he destroyed a Baterra and discovered that they were mechanical.

History
Stronius participated in the Core War and fought for the Element Lord of Rock. When the Core War ended, he, with the other Skrall, ended up on Bara Magna.

After a long time, the Skrall were attacked by shapeshifting machines called Baterra, and many Skrall were killed. Tuma was the only Leader Class Skrall left and the Skrall soon retreated to the south and put up a new fortress in Roxtus. During this time, Stronius destroyed at least one Baterra. His thorned club became stuck in the trunk of a Thornax tree during a search for resources,. As he pulled his club out it accidentally destroyed a Battera, killing it. This was the first encounter between a Skrall and a Battera. The Batteras attack on the Skrall took place shortly afterwards. In spite of all the strength and the skill of the Skrall it was impossible to fight the Battera simply because of their strange dissapearing and stealth abilities. The Skrall were forced to flee the Black Spike Mountains and retreat south were they now live seeking ways to destroy the Battera and conquer all of Bara Magna.

A year later, Tuma found out that the Baterra were on their way to Roxtus, and journeyed to the north with Stronius to see the female Skrall, to get help fighting the Baterra. Tuma succeeded in creating a deal with the Sisters of the Skrall. The sisters wanted to find a Great Being known as Agonance whom had once tauhgt a sister how to manipulate her devastating mental capabilities such as hypnosis and mind control. Tuma knew where to find Agonance but would only tell the sisters if they aided the Skrall in irradicating the Battera. However, Tuma hated the sisters and planned to destroy them once he was the conquered of Bara Magna and killed off the Battera.
