Kron

The Kron (クロン) are a race of rock-like aliens first encountered by Sonic and friends during Chapter 7 of Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, when the Cyclone crash-lands on the Kron Colony.

Appearance
The Krons are a bulky, humanoid alien species with the average height of about two meters. Their entire body is made of stone, without any organic organs, and the only signs of life their bodies display are the orange glowing lines across their body and eyes. They have stubby arms and legs and possesses a large stone orb which makes up most of their torso, with only a thin spine connecting their upper and lower body. The remainder of their body is made of layers of rock and they have orange vizor where they have eyes.

History
The Kron originally lived on Planet Kron an unknown amount of time prior to Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, until they and their civilization were pulled into the Twilight Cage and imprisoned by Argus, possibly because they were a too powerful species.

Despite this change, the Kron continued to live on in the Twilight Cage, on a planetoid that came to be the Kron Colony for the next thousands of years (according to time flow in the Twilight Cage). Over time, the Kron came to be regarded as the eldest of the extant species within the Twilight Cage. The Kron continued a peaceful existence, until the Nocturnus Clan arrived and were subdued by Imperator Ix long ago. They then forced the Kron to work for them and were induced to build weapons and ships for the Nocturnus Clan, although when the player arrives they are in the midst of a rebellion. Initially mistaking Sonic and his companions for Nocturnus agents, the rock-people attack, and prove highly resistant to conventional damage. The heroes eventually agree to aid the Kron in their uprising, and liberate the main Kron factory from Nocturnus occupation.

In Chapter 10, the Kron outfit the Cyclone with energy-deflecting alloys that enable the heroes to break through the Nocturne's forcefield defenses.

Characteristics and Culture
The Kron is a described as a stubborn, but also a very easy-going people. They are workers by nature and is known mostly for their mining and metallurgical talents, something which even the highly advanced Nocturnus Clan hold in high regard. In fact, the very work culture is an important part of their lives and society. The Kron talk in an odd, Yoda-esque dialect, although they maintain that the grammar malfunction is an error on the part of the listener, rather than the speaker.

During their time on their original homeworld, the Kron were a ruthless people, with Foreman Krag rulling over his people with an iron fist. After the Kron were transported into the Twilight Cage, however, the Kron were conquered by the Nocturnus Clan and were forced into servitude. This change of lifestyle caused a change in the Kron, as they experience how it was to be oppressed, and they became a more fair people with a more fair rule as well.

Despite being workers, they also possesses military forces, where the selected soldiers are chosen among the best laborers.

Powers and Abilities
As the other alien species in the Twilight Cage, the Kron are a very powerful people and few is said to hit harder than them. The Kron require little sustenance or extravagance in order to survive due to their lack of organic needs, and are extremely long-lived; their leader, Foreman Krag, remembers being torn from their homeworld by Argus thousands of years ago.

Due to their species being made of a rock-like substance, the Kron possesses an natural and highly resistant armor (which gives them the highest defense in the game) and can use their body structure as a strong offensive as well. They can detach the large rock orb in the center of their body and use it as a weapon and they have high physical strength. Judged by their movements and body material, the Kron are very slow however and is not shown moving faster than normal walking.
