Posleen
Posleen are a fictional alien race, created by the science fiction author John Ringo for his ''Legacy of the Aldenata'' series of books.
==Description==
The Posleen are a race of genetically-engineered reptilian centaurs with crocodile-like heads. They were supposedly designed by the long lost race - the Aldenata - to be the ultimate warriors. The Posleen invasion is shaped by their (over)engineered physiology - Posleen are omnivores and capable of sustaining themselves by eating a wide variety of organisms (including humans). They must eat almost constantly or starve. Inevitably, they exhaust the resources of every environment they inhabit, resulting in a phenomenon they call ''orna'adar'' - planetwide conflicts that always end in nuclear holocaust, with the survivors fleeing in starships to repeat the process on new worlds, leaving lifeless radioactive desert planets in their wake.
While humans can eat Posleen, they neither taste pleasant nor provide any real nutrition. The Posleen word for any other species is "thresh", which literally translates to "food". If a species is capable of fighting back in a significant capacity, the suffix "kreen" is added, "threshkreen" translates to "food with a sting". In addition to eating other species, Posleen will exploit them in other ways: during the Posleen invasion of Germany, a high ranking God King had many humans, most of them young women, scalped and their hair woven into a blanket, which he wore for warmth during the campaign.
