The Beastknights are a superhero team in the Intense Universe made up of psionic were-mustelids.
Origin[]
The Beastknights were created by the ancient geneticist Zungo Utra to combat interplanetary terrorism. Utra did not create them directly, but carefully steered events to result in their creation.
Most individual members of the Beastknights arose from independent stories, some of which were released, some of which were not.
Mission[]
The Beastknights exist to combat the URPS (An acronym which does not translate into English), an army of terrorists from planet Naru. The URPS are Naruvians, and thus able to add and remove body parts at will. Their purpose on Earth is to steal powers from paranormals to further their criminal advances. Their ultimate goal is to amalgamate the entire universe into their gestalt entity, Unalon. To keep the enemy unaware of their movements, the Beastknights prefer to work in secret, using both their transformation powers and their psionics to remain unnoticed by the general public. This does not always work.
Members[]
Zungo Utra- The creator of the Beastknights is an ancient being from the Limifon galaxy and co-creator of the limifite animals. He has remained alive using a system of artificial reincarnation, changing species and gender many times. His current incarnation is a baby badger.
King Skunk- Nick Norbin, the leader of the Beastknights, former member of the Jolt Squad, was the only one given his powers by Utra directly. At that time, Utra's incarnation was the queen of the skunks. Nick and Utra were briefly married until Utra's death and reincarnation. Nick's powers include the transformation of others into skunks and animal communication and control.
