[@nightzebra]

Grunt is like an over sized kid with a shotgun but he made my squad interesting. Him with Garrus is great.

[@LegendaryDarkKnight602]

I used to mix my team between the 4...grunt, garrus, legion, and samara.

[@MrSpawley]

Zach Johnson He matured once rite of passage but props to him took down a Reaper Rachni nest and survived all he wanted to do is eat after!

[@Lostmychill]

In the Shadow Broker DLC, when you look at his search history he looks up stuff like dinosaurs 😂

[@theashenstorm5509]

@@Lostmychill I laughed when I saw all the mistakes he made and a little bit of respectful nameing when it came to shepherds name

[@auriptide]

Honestly, I cant say it for all Krogan, but I felt Wrex and Grunt were the most loyal in the game. They were tough, but honest and seemed to have much respect for Shep. True friend.

[@MrSpawley]

StephySon I did his war armor mission then when that choice came managed to talk him around.

[@kroganhonor4181]

*Loads Gun* You forgot a Krogan in that list.

[@TmanTheTdog]

Like A Sir lol who?

[@TmanTheTdog]

Viktor I guess

[@emmanuel4989]

yay the krogan. The best species in mass effect.

[@phoenix-kingz]

Yes!

[@StephySon]

Hope we can romance some in Andromeda XD

[@tarikrobertson]

g

[@raylast3873]

Emmanuel Ogundele nah. The best species are the Geth.

[@emmanuel4989]

+Ray Last I was really just keeping it with organic races not artificial intelligence but since you brought the geth to the equation I still have to pick the krogan,wrex is my favourite character, grunt is fucking hilarious and krogan history is more interesting than the geth. I destroyed the reapers every time and I never hesitated about the geth being destroyed only edi. I still think the geth are cool though especially legion.

[@FlashBranson27]

the krogan were my favorite race in the mass effect franchise, so much so that during the third installment in the rachni mission (spoiler alert) where grunt holds off the rachni reapers for Shepard and his squad to escape, I was emotionally invested in his survival and cheered with delight to see him survive. not to mention that in almost every play through of the franchise I made sure the krogans survived, except for the ones that shot at me, they had to die, I had no choice! :(

[@StephySon]

When I thought Grunt died I paused the game and raged for like 5 minutes stomping my feet as I held back tears and just full of despair, but when I un paused the game and saw him come out covered in blood and guts asking for food, that was a moment I'll never forget . . .

[@Grizz5858]

I don't ever reply but you hit the nail on the head why ME is so damn awesome. They can take any character and make them great no matter what. Let them be brash, callous, honorable, or even the paladin , and the story fits. This is why I love ME. I can play what ever the hell I want to and I'm in my favorite setting from Skyrim

[@89BlackGatomon]

Did you miss the option to, for having a krogan "romance/close-quarter-encounter" in the game? ... Remember when Wrex "retreated" into a bar to get some space between him and females in me3 after the cure? Would be priceless if FEmale Shepard suddenly also "wannt a piece of him"

[@02091992able]

The fact they can weight in excess of 800lbs and drop a shuttle by jumping on it is something to fear.

[@89BlackGatomon]

AND NOOOWWW... Think about the idea getting a krogan romance for the game... *evil laugther starts*

[@eddietocco4732]

I cured the Krogan of the Genophage.

[@mechaissei530]

so did I

[@dermomagaharan97]

I think everyone did

[@wizardking9829]

if u didnt your a terrible person...

[@jameslatham9946]

😈

[@MrSpawley]

Eddie Tocco Damn right I'd rather have a drink with hear about him having too much sex and more ice than kill him and his people!

[@LegendaryDarkKnight602]

I wish we could've kept grunt as a teammate in ME3.

[@CheemsofRegret]

the really should have given us another krogan squad mate for mass effect 3

[@LegendaryDarkKnight602]

That would've been just as cool, especially since they gave us aliens anyway.

[@StephySon]

Least Wrex was along for the ride during the Citadel DLC

[@MrSpawley]

would have swapped him for Vega in ME 3 or Jacob even in ME2!

[@89BlackGatomon]

He would make a interessting romance eventualy... Or more Wrex? We lack that in the game... Or make at least a sidequest to flee from a female krogan stalking Shepard for a "mating request"

[@Q_Tura]

Every time I see Grunt I start to cry because he is my little murderous baby 😭 I swear I gonna come back Grunt!

[@jvinton7002]

I love the Krogan, any race or species that values toughness and strength gets my nod of approval. if Wrex is the leader in ME3 I always cure the genophage. if Wreve? No, fuck that guy. he'd rather them keep fighting. it was nice to see at the end of my trilogy the Krogan rebuilding and flourishing again. That's what I fought for during the Krogan subplot of ME3

[@Elrond_Hubbard_1]

One of my favourite pieces of Krogan dialogue, Shepard: _"Good luck out there, Grunt"_ Grunt: _"I don't need luck. I have ammo."_

[@NecroBones]

Grunt's clip at the end is one of the best.... "GET LOST. Heh. Heh. Heh."

[@cliff9092]

krogan live longer then 1000 years. i think they can pull 2000 years almost wrex was 1400 years old i think

[@xxxswoopxxx9673]

Everyone goes on about Garrus but Wrex will always be my favorite. Wish he would have been a squadmate though ALL three Mass Effects.

[@MrSpawley]

xXx Swoop xXx 9 Would have traded him for Vega in 3 or Jacob maybe in 2. But I know storyline in 2 it meant making him a NPC to explain how things went afterVirmire!

[@89BlackGatomon]

How about a krogan romance with female shepard ^.~

[@Nem1606]

You are our Mass Effect variation of Mr.Rhexx/ESO of the Elder Scrolls

[@fctheone]

Tuchanka only became a desert after the Krogan rebellion. The planet used to be a very rich jungle ecosystem. Krogan physiology and psychology is the result of a biological arms race.

[@Adamwofford]

these guys are bad ass, I want one as a squad mate in Mass Effect Andromeda

[@thomashoughton3410]

according to a leaker who leaked info about the 2016 e3 showcase, you get to choose from one other human an asari a krogan and a turian at the start of the game

[@Adamwofford]

Yeah, that's right, I forgot about that

[@thomashoughton3410]

its pretty awesome that this info is from a reliable source too, trust me i wouldnt bullshit you

[@MrSpawley]

It's confirmed officially your team mates are Drak(Krogan) , Vectra (Turian) . Bioware have since released game play trailers and Pathfinder introction vids leading up to March 23rd!

[@89BlackGatomon]

You get ones... But how about a romance option ^.~

[@noahatchison8655]

I don’t need luck, I’ve got ammo- Grunt

[@punkgun13]

I really like the Krogans. Their History is interesting and if it comes to a fight, it's a good Idea to have a Krogan with a shotgun at your side. Yes, they are ab brutal race, formed by war, to what they are now, but they have some kind of culture left and when you gained the serious respect of a Krogan, they will follow you in hell and then ask for more. In my Opinion, one of the most interesting Races of Mass Effect.

[@1215298]

1st to romance Wrex

[@noctiscaelum7393]

I would rather romance a reaper

[@StephySon]

Wrex is mine bitch XD

[@MrSpawley]

Jordan Beeney More Ice!

[@89BlackGatomon]

NOPE! We still miss Krogan romance!

[@linkieloos]

Wrex: A badass whos more intelligent than he looks Grunt: An overgrown kid who wants to fight and eat all the time Nakmor Drack: Wrex and Grunt combined

[@_Aly_00_]

Shepheeeerrrrrrrrrrddddd

[@89BlackGatomon]

Commander Shepard

[@StephySon]

If we can't romance a Krogan in Andromeda I am gonna be so tight XD

[@MrSpawley]

StephySon Hell they have quads that going to be messy even Wrex asked for more ice after Genophage was cured!

[@89BlackGatomon]

I see... So you wannt get lose in the future... They sure would give you a nice fill of fun with them x) There is no holding back... Just holding...

[@James-ep2bx]

humans and krogen the two primary berserker species (humans are heavily hinted, if not confirmed if you consider hardening adrenaline rush)

[@SwingDancer61]

I loved playing as a Krogan in the ME3 multiplayer. I hope they're in the starting group for multiplayer classes in MEA.

[@MrSpawley]

SwingDancer61 In Single player it's confirmed that team mates are Krogan{Drak) !

[@SwingDancer61]

Stuart Pawley Good to hear.

[@user-yk7dc9hu2k]

The gazorpazorps from Rick and morty remind me of krogans. A strong war race that nuked their own planet to dust and they mostly live separated by gender. Good shit

[@lorddootinator4332]

Best wrex line is where he called that one guy a virgin in the first game

[@eddietocco4732]

+MassEffectLore Your audio is very good now

[@Onlyhooper]

Cheers mate

[@tommi2580]

Indeed, I can hear a slight difference while comparing to the previous lore video (about the Asari). I already said last time that the audio was good enough, but I did try to point some things out. Whether those were any good or not, I'm glad that the audio is really good now.

[@MrSpawley]

Doesn't want Drak to be a copy of Wrex/Grunt but still be as kick ass!

[@MrSpawley]

If you showing Citadel footage you missed the best - Wrex and his or triplets after the cure and More Ice!

[@quirkyadventures1722]

ALL HAIL THE KROGAN!!!

[@StephySon]

Yeah KROGAN! LETS FIND ONE TO MATE WITH XD

[@quirkyadventures1722]

StephySon HELL YEAH! Gotta get some of that reptilian booty!

[@StephySon]

QuirkyAdventures Im gonna show you how to use a Quad, Bow Chicka Wow Wow XD

[@quirkyadventures1722]

;D

[@MrSpawley]

StephySon More Ice!

[@89BlackGatomon]

You remember someone wanted to mate with Shepard after he killed the "Thresher Maw" . That request would make for a at least funny idea/sidestory... After all... Wrex stated himself... There is "not holding back a female" just... Holding... No stopping a female krogan ^.~ And a male sure would make a interessting idea =3

[@sokandueler9578]

I love the Krogan.

[@christophergroenewald5847]

The blood rage part is incorrect. They have a redundant nervous system which allows them to voluntarily not feel pain but that's not blood rage. To quote a Krogan from the games, "When an injury forces us to switch to secondary organs, higher thaught processes don't alway transition correctly. Blood rage they call it."

[@paw4183]

a good addition to the universe and with good leadership the krogan are amazing

[@Stonkish]

One of the most interesting races in the Mass Effect universe. Hail the Krogans.

[@skullton3292]

the Krogen are my favourite race in mass effect.

[@elock1277]

Honestly I've always had the set of mind to sacerfice Wrex and Grunt when needed. I like to keep my Tanks and heavy hitters nearby than let them die later.

[@nathanffitness5263]

favorite race of the entire trilogy hands down

[@Onlyhooper]

Quarians Next!! Follow me on Twitter @N7Lore or put a comment for who you want next. P.S I have bought a pop-filter now so the pops within this video will be cleared from my videos.

[@eddietocco4732]

Yes!! Quarians are my favorite race!! can't wait for it.

[@MoonDaemon644]

maybe geth I love legion

[@kyle857]

Thank God for the Genophage...

[@vitoriturriaga3468]

Definitely my favorite mass effect species

[@ronaldhedelund4219]

If i know Grunt your answer coming at you in muzzle velocity.(My favorite dialog) :)

[@chowderstevens9375]

Do the elephant guys!

[@ragnarokkr977]

Is it just me or does anyone else see the krogans like us because we are running low on resources we are fighting each other and we are threatening to use nukes on each other plus a son as we hit Industrial Age we started going down hill as well hell we already have had 2 world wars and in one of them 2 nukes were used

[@fredericom.semedo1626]

I loved the krogan! There should definitely be a ME game were the main character would be a Krogan or a Krogan story based...Eve was a great character and it shows that females krogan could help build a great society if they were more involved in the structure of there society... a krogan culture with brains and muscle would be great to explore...Eve and Grunt

[@n7paragon374]

do quarians they are my favorite race

[@jwbuckmiller82jb]

Do the Volus next please. My buddy loves the Volus, so want to send him it when you do it. Lol!

[@Plasma-vs1eq]

Favorite krogan are wrex and grunt

[@jonbourg]

I say they are one hell of badass

[@xzenitramx666]

krogy the krogan

[@Abioticmold]

i killed rex i did not want to but he was worth the sacrifice but grunt i hope he had a good life my whole team lived in mass effect 2 had all dlcs on all games and got perfect ending it end up me bursting into tears of sadness and happiness that i saved everyone

[@dirtypms]

Nakmor Drack is cool, too

[@euroclocks8917]

The real question is why are you using a bloody predator.

[@neoandroid8586]

Drax is awesome too

[@neoandroid8586]

Hmm i remember seeing the scene in ME3 where Wrex used biotic throw. But I don't believe I have seen ANY Other Krogan use biotics in the games. So are they unable to use it and it was an oversight by the animators

[@jvinton7002]

Stuart May Wrex has always been able to use biotics, he's one of the last remaining battlemasters. But you're right, he's the only one shown to use them in cut scenes. In ME1 I remember after rescuing liara for the first time, I got attacked by a Krogan Battlemaster who was using biotics at me.

[@neoandroid8586]

J vinton oh my bad then. I haven't played ME1 in ages, I guess it makes more sense why he's so revered in the Krogan. it's a shame we won't see a Krogan Battlemaster biotic in anything Mass Effect now since its on hold

[@willbaker6532]

Neo Android think there's a few in ME2 like The head of the bloodpack in Garrus' recruitment mission.

[@cpob2013]

wait, they actually live 1000 years? i know they live for centuries but i dont think they live as long as asari

[@Fankas2000]

They can live for a 1000 years, but most die young

[@FoxHound-ut1hu]

Well warlord Okeer was like 2000 years old since he fought in the rebellion before becoming a warlord.

[@superphantom100]

Know what frustrates me is when a fan pluralizes Krogan. If you were talking about a squad of 30 Krogan you wouldn't say " hey look at all those Krogans" you would say " hey look at all those Krogan". The pluralization of Krogan is Krogan.

[@josephbenobasa]

next the drell please

I love my space turtles.

[@branz1118]

Which is your favorite race @N7Follower?

[@lordextinction8322]

SHERPERD

[@gazzmaz8830]

Shepherd

[@trailblazerlazerrazerd9027]

Like the Viking Warriors of ancient times they have a soft interior fed by an almost insatiable lust for combat, sex and power and bodies basically bred for war like the Yagh. And they love all of it, the only thing Krogan love doing more than slaughtering enemies in a blood rage is fighting a worthy opponent and then reloading their gun and organizing a visit to a female clan camp to bond with their kids or mate unless they've already been seduced or poetry jam fall for by an Asarii. I'm sure if left to their own devices Krogan will solve their own issues if the Citadel Council granted them a few colony worlds (and terraforming tech to make a few more in the K-DMZ). But now Krogan males are probably actually going to have to raise their kids and I'm sure most would rather return to fighting rachni or the Turians or return to the clan wars lol. Kids are a blessing and curse no parent is ready for lol, especially if a dozen can be birthed from a single female at once. I love those big mean turtles as much as any nerd would a Klingon or a Wookie both in battle or friendship.

[@Garrus493]

Krogan aren't even tall though. The Male Shepard has too look down to look them in the eyes. I really feel like they should be at least the height of Turians or Salarians.

[@Onlyhooper]

They aren't massive (height wise) but they are pretty tall. For a good example, watch the head butt on Gatatog Uvenk at 5.47

[@Garrus493]

Mass Effect Lore Well they should be massive height wise, makes them even more imposing

[@lEGOBOT2565]

Sheppard

I really dislike the Krogan, apart from Grunt, he's alright.

this may sound stupid but could you make a human one

[@0000EST]

Hi.

[@andreborges73]

bioware is very good on making aliens designs, i only have you complain. The Asari are a copy past of the human body !! They are the only one who have human noses !! WHY !! A lot good designs, and then a human body with blue skin and tentacle hair.

[@abbestaabouri]

there's a theory that asari appear to each species in their form to "seduce" them, that's why all the species in the galaxy are attracted to asari, there's a conversation in one of the games between a human, a turian and i believe a salarian in which each of them say that the asari look exactly like their respective species

[@89BlackGatomon]

You forget all races say Asari look like them... The logical way to think about it... They dont look like us... We just think they do...

Scuzzy Bear The krogan like to fight in battles not hide in caves and ignore soldiers and attack civilians. If they wher human's they would be Vikings.
