Fictional character biography
[edit]The Kroloteans are a gremlin-like species from the planet Krolotea in Space Sector 2812 who perform genetic experiments on subjects in an attempt to create advanced warriors. Their experiments gave Hector Hammond, Black Hand, and Shark their powers.[1][2]
The Kroloteans later ally with Evil Star, who refers to them as "Starlings" and is searching for the Black, which is linked to the prophecy of the Blackest Night.[3]
A Krolotean named Gleen later joins the Sinestro Corps before being killed by the Green Lantern Varix.[4]

In other media
[edit]The Kroloteans appear in Young Justice. This version of the species are skilled thieves who possess horns of varying sizes and have a caste system based on them.[5]
