Sakaarans

The Sakaarans are a sentient insectoid race native to the planet Sakaar. A client race of the Kree, Sakaaran soldiers were commonly placed within Kree military ranks.

History
The Sakaarans are a close associate race to the Kree, and could often be found integrated into Kree society, such as the military. Korath the Pursuer, a close ally of Ronan the Accuser, was known to command a large platoon of Sakaaran mercenaries. When Ronan was ordered by Thanos to find the Orb, Korath and his Sakaarans joined Ronan in his hunt.

Korath and two Sakaarans found the Orb on Morag, just as Star-Lord had obtained it within the Temple Vault. They gave chase as Star-Lord activated his helmet to escape.

The Sakaarans would continue to aide Ronan and Korath until the end, which came during the Battle of Xandar, where all of Korath's Sakaaran allies were killed in the battle.

Characteristic Traits
Figure-wise, Sakaarans have human-like postures. However, when viewed up close, Sakaarans are insectoid in appearance, possessing insect-like mandibles and jaws and an arthropodal exoskeleton. Their skin is also dark and hairy like a spider's.

Trivia

 * In the comics, Sakaarans differ physically from their movie counterparts, resembling humans almost exactly sans skin coloration. They are split into two ethnic groups: the red skinned Sakaaran Imperials and the grey skinned Shadow People. Hulk has two sons (Skaar & Hiro-Kala), with a member of the Shadow People.
 * The Sakaarans were originally going to appear in Thor: The Dark World but were deleted.
