Keconopters |
Les Kicoptéres |
A long time ago the ancient gods of Olympus lived on Earth with
the Sorians, whom the gods kept as slaves. The gods fled in
spaceships when a great flood was predicted. To keep the Sorians
away from the spaceships the gods put Keconopters on guard.
These are large black fire birds. The Sorians lived in fear of
the Keconopters, which would attack them every time they tried
to leave their ark after the flood.
The Sorians hid under ground hoping that a second flood would destroy
the Keconopters. In Before the Flood Ulysses is attacked by
the Keconopters as he flies a shuttlecraft in the planet's atmosphere
and crash-lands just outside the entrance to the Sorians' underground
city. He enters the city, revives their leader, Soria, and together
they find a way to defeat the Keconopters and win the Sorians their
freedom.
