Proto-Humans

The proto-humans were a race that Ilias created prior to the creation of humans. They were much more powerful than the humans of the present era, but were also emotionally unstable, so IIias killed them all and replaced them with the modern humans. While the original proto-humans were all killed off, the royal families of modern humans possess some proto-human blood, making them dormant weapons.

Description
Judging from the Grangold King, proto-humans were humanoid in shape but with major differences such as having no face, elongated arms and fingers, no legs, and an aura radiating from their bodies.
