- Okeer: the krogan warlord who grew Grunt in a tank on KorlusOkeer fought in the Krogan Rebellions, sold his own people to the Collectors for genetic technology, and spent his last years breeding a perfect krogan on Korlus. He died in the gas and left the prototype to Shepard.
- Urdnot Bakara (Eve)Urdnot Bakara, called Eve by her salarian doctor, was a female krogan shaman and the sole survivor of Maelon's genophage experiments. She became a symbol of hope for her people and a voice for unity during the war against the Reapers.
- Blood PackThe Blood Pack was a brutal mercenary group built around krogan muscle and vorcha cannon fodder, founded by the exiled Battlemaster Ganar Wrang and based in the Terminus Systems. Banned from Citadel space, they took the contracts no other gang would touch, favoring overwhelming violence over discretion.
- BruteBrutes were synthetic organic creatures the Reapers fashioned by fusing krogan and turian bodies and remaking them with their technology. Towering and heavily armored, they filled the heavy melee role in Reaper ground assaults, charging into the enemy line to crush smaller troops.
- GarmGarm was a krogan Battlemaster who led the Blood Pack on Omega and was notorious for a regenerative resilience even greater than that of most krogan. He joined a three-way alliance of mercenary leaders to destroy the vigilante Archangel, and died in the assault on the turian's stronghold.
- GenophageThe genophage was a genetic weapon deployed against the krogan during the Krogan Rebellions, drastically lowering the chance of viable births and consigning the species to a slow decline. Developed by the salarians and unleashed by the turians, it haunted galactic politics for over a thousand years.
- GruntGrunt was a genetically engineered krogan warrior, bred and educated within a tank to embody the best traits of his species, who fought alongside Commander Shepard and later commanded an elite krogan company in the Reaper War.
- Krogan RebellionsThe Krogan Rebellions were a decades-long war between the krogan and the Citadel Council that began around 700 CE, sparked by unchecked krogan expansion onto worlds claimed by other races. The conflict ended with the deployment of the salarian-engineered genophage, the surrender of the krogan, and a Council seat awarded to the turians.
- KroganThe krogan were a hardy, long-lived reptilian species from the brutal world of Tuchanka, uplifted by the salarians to win the Rachni Wars before their explosive growth made them a threat in turn. The turian-deployed genophage crippled their fertility and left them a scattered, fatalistic people.
- M-300 ClaymoreThe M-300 Claymore was a heavy shotgun of human design used almost exclusively by the krogan, since the kickback from a single shot carried enough force to break a human's arm. Devastating at short range, it was protected against reproduction and prohibitively expensive.
- Nakmor Drack: The Old Krogan of Clan NakmorNakmor Drack was an aged krogan veteran who had spent more than 1,400 years as a soldier, mercenary, and pirate in the Milky Way before joining his clan on the voyage to Andromeda. Kept alive by extensive cybernetics, he became a steadfast member of a Pathfinder's crew in the Heleus Cluster.
- TuchankaTuchanka was the homeworld of the krogan, a harsh and irradiated world scarred by the nuclear wars its people waged upon themselves. Once a fertile world teeming with fierce life, it became a wasteland of craters, ash, and predatory survivors.
- Urdnot WrexUrdnot Wrex was a centuries-old krogan battlemaster, mercenary, and one of the few of his kind who planned for a krogan future after the genophage. He fought beside Commander Shepard against Saren and later united the krogan clans to fight the Reapers and reclaim his people's fertility.
- Urdnot WreavUrdnot Wreav was the broodbrother of Urdnot Wrex and a hardline traditionalist krogan. In some accounts he led Clan Urdnot, favoring conquest and intimidation over the unity his brother preached.
