* "Never quite good enough to defeat him"? When he first showed up, it was the other way around. They played games across the galaxy and Crayak always won (or won disproportionately often). Sure, he didn't kill Ellimist outright, but that's because he was toying with him and probably appreciated having a near equal as much as Ellimist did. It was only after Ellimist ran away and [[Took a Level In Badass]] that they actually turned their considerable power against each other.

I cannot see natural selection favoring these guys under any circumstances. And we've already established that the Ellimist and Crayak have both created life forms that they like(Ellimist has the pemalites, Crayak has the Howlers). Is it a stretch to say that Crayak created the taxxons for the sheer audacity of it?

* Humans may be a similar-but-upgraded version, where either the taxxons' creator or the taxxons' creator's opponent took the original build, but took [[Point Build System|points]] from Metabolism, # of Legs, and Multitasking Dexterity, and put them in Endurance, # of Digits, and Creativity. While the taxxons are a [[Crippling Overspecialization|poorly-balanced]] [[Dune|Navigator]] [[Munchkin]] species of [[Horror Hunger|gluttonous]] goo wrapped in an overfull water-balloon, humans are a slightly-better balanced [[Gadgeteer Genius]] [[Zerg Rush|Plus Infantry]] [[Munchkin]] species of [[Seven Deadly Sins|gluttonous]] goo [[Futurama|wrapped in a t-shirt]] (with the [[Horror Hunger]], the taxxons couldn't effectively act as [[Game Breaker|tech-savvy]] [[Starcraft|zerglings]] until the yeerks started simply using them as biomech). ...which makes sense, considering Crayak and the Ellimist are basically playing [[Game Mod|do-it-yourself]]
