The Ur-Quan Kohr-Ah are one of two subspecies created from the original Ur-Quan strain by the malicious Dnyarri. Nearly identical to their Kzer-Za brethren, the most noticeable difference between their two is their skin tones - Kzer-Za are green while Kohr-Ah are black. However, another difference is seen in their arms, where only Kohr-Ah appear to possess actual hands. At least part of their body is covered by a sheath which retracts when the creature experiences intense pain, along with the oozing of their talons.
