After gathering a group of like-minded followers, Amon set out to find two races he could uplift and groom to create the perfect life form that would end the cycle. One xel'naga, Amon, viewed this cycle as corrupt and saw it as the source of all suffering in the universe. Although the xel'naga watched over the younger races, they never interfered with their evolution or development.

In time, two species would emerge, one that was " pure of form" and the other " pure of essence." Inevitably, these two species would, through peaceful means, come together and merge enabling their xel'naga creators to pass their essence onto them, thus giving rise to the next generation of xel'naga. The xel'naga were a species that reproduced by seeding the universe with life. Ġ2 August 2010 History The Grand Experiment The thoughts of hybrids have been described as "red hate." Arcturus Mengsk believed he had a frequency that would calm the hybrid and render them docile, allowing him to use them as a weapon. Hybrids would preferentially attack protoss and zerg with it and in an apocalyptic future, they used this ability to finish off the Zerg Swarm. Hybrids possess a Consume DNA ability which inflicts harm on whatever it is used against. Overt knowledge of the hybrids began spreading among the terrans, protoss, and zerg, after the Brood War, and most who knew understood the dire threat the hybrids posed to the universe. Contrary to the xel'naga's intent, the hybrids were the result of a perversion of their Infinite Cycle, as their creation would not lead to the rebirth of the true xel'naga. To this end, he and his followers violated the xel'naga's rule of non-intervention, and uplifted the protoss and the zerg, with the intention of merging the two species to create the hybrid. He desired to remake the universe in his own image. The xel'naga Amon, however, viewed this cycle as corrupt and flawed. Their xel'naga progenitors would then transfer their essence to them, giving rise to a new generation of xel'naga, which would repeat the cycle. Over many generations, two species, one with the " purity of form" and another with the " purity of essence," would come together naturally.


The xel'naga regularly seeded the universe with life as part of their Infinite Cycle.
