This Strogg aggression led to humanity's long war with them that has continued unabated ever since.

This motivation led the Strogg to Earth, which they promptly invaded, slaughtering millions of humans just to harvest their corpses. The Strogg's need to harvest biological components for their own augmentation, and the flesh of slain enemies for the creation of stroyent, is their primary motivation, since it's necessary for their survival. The Strogg are cybernetic constructs of unclear origin, which reproduce by taking biological components and fusing them with advanced technology in the brutal surgical process of Stroggification that enslaves their minds and enhances their bodies for war. Members of the Strogg race also appear as playable characters in Quake III Arena, Quake Live, and Quake Champions. The Strogg are a hostile cybernetic alien race featured as the main antagonists in Quake 2 and Quake 4, and as a playable faction in Quake III: Team Arena and Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. They search the galaxy for the sole item their existence requires, harvesting, consuming and destroying everything in their path.

The Strogg: soulless fusions of decaying flesh, bones and metal, twisted and ruined by centuries of war.
