unidentified race
(Tyrant's worldship's military protectors)
Classification: Semi-humanoid extraterrestrial race
Location/Base of Operations: At least formerly Tyrant's worldship;
their planet of origin is unrevealed;
Known Members: None identified
Affiliations: Tyrant used them as military protectors of his Worldship after enslaving their race
Enemies: Tyrant;
indirectly Thanos and everyone who opposed Tyrant in the conflict
involving Thanos, including Air-Walker, Beta Ray Bill, Ganymede, Jack of Hearts, Legacy (Genis-Vell), Morg, Terrax
First Appearance: Cosmic Powers Unlimited#3 (November, 1995)
Powers/Abilities: Tyrant's worldship's military protectors' abilities are unrevealed.
Presumably, they were skilled
warriors with some degree of physical prowess, such as superhuman
strength and durability; however, their abilities were never
demonstrated. They were described as having a dense physiology, such
that a fatal penetration of their body retained the exact form of the
penetrating object.
They were no match for Tyrant.
Like most beings of semi-humanoid organic structure, removal of one's heart was fatal, and their bodies froze in space.
They have sharp teeth, elongated
tongues, and their fingers, at least, ended in sharp points. They had
sharp fins or plates running from the top of their heads down the
middle of their backs.
Only male forms were shown, but
they were specifically noted as male, presumably indicating that
females exist as well.
Traits: The race that served as Tyrant's
worldship's military protectors presumably had traits such as
discipline, courage, ability to follow orders, etc.
Type: Bilaterally symmetric semi-humanoid reptilian bipeds
Eyes: Two (on head; eye color not clearly seen)
Fingers: Four (plus opposing thumb)
Toes: Unrevealed
Skin color: Orange
Average height: Approximately 7-8' (they looked smaller than the 10' tall Tyrant, but they weren't dwarfed by him)
Average weight: Approximately 300-600 lbs.
History:
(Cosmic Powers Unlimited#3 (fb) - BTS) - An unidentified race was enslaved by the powerful Tyrant
and brought aboard his Worldship, where they were appointed military protectors.
Comments: Created by Michael Gallagher and Sandu Florea.
Thanks to Loki for providing the images while I was evacuated from Hurricane Dorian.
I don't no whether these guys
appeared in the previous Cosmic Powers series...if so, I'll have to add
that stuff when I get home.

CLARIFICATIONS:
This unindentified race should be distinguished from:
(Cosmic Powers Unlimited#3 (fb)) - Following Thanos'
theft of Tyrant's cosmic energy sphere, Tyrant punished the race the
race he had appointed military protectors of his worldship. He tore the
hearts out of every male and threw their body husks into space.
One of these frozen cadavers was found by
the extradimensional entity Jakar, who had recently returned to Universe-616. Jakar found that the victim's dense physiology
had retained a perfect mold of the fist that had burned its his chest cavity.
From this Jakar made a casting of Tyrant's hand.
(Cosmic Powers Unlimited#3) - Transported
to Tyrant's Worldship and given the casting of Tyrant's hand by Jakar,
Ganymede and Persephone opened the vault containing Tyrant's cosmic
power sphere.
This awakened Tyrant, who sought
out the thieves, but Jakar had already teleported them, Jack of Hearts,
and the cosmic sphere back to his ship, which swiftly
dimensionally-traversed numerous galaxies from that location to avoid
Tyrant's wrath.
