Glukkons and Oktigi are closely related, but Oktigi are not a superspecies. Biologically, Gloktigi are a hybrid of the two, deliberately created as elite guards. They're intelligent, but so egotistical that they never speak to other species, and so violent that they often can't control their demonic frenzy. All the same they are highly trained and loyal to the death.
:
Nathan: (from Leonardo Munzlinger) In Stranger, how do the Gloktigi disappear and reappear; is it technology or mystical?
Lorne: That would be occultism. [...] The Gloktigi have supernatural origins, more like genies in the classical Arabian sense. Concocted and controlled, like summoning demons. They’re sort of genetics mixed with occultism.
