The Daktaklakpak are a group of semi-sapient machines originally built by the Precursors, putting them in the same boat as the Mmrnmhrm and the Mycon. Due to their having been directly created by the Precursors they have evolved into arrogant beings, as they no longer realize that they were built as simple maintenance drones. They were in fact prevented by their creators from being able to reach full sapience which, when combined with their amateurish self-modification, has resulted in an initially indecipherable language, although it was eventually translated.
