What exactly is a protogen?
Protogen are Anthro, cyborg-like creatures. Compared to the Primagen, they are more mammal-like in appearance, sporting a more upright stature, alongside a shorter, rounder visor, that is capable of displaying many emotions. It might possibly have the ability to display two colors at once in a gradient.

I think this will answer your questions.

So they are pretty much the aliens from the FPS game, Quake? I guess they gotta find ideas somehow. ^^

yes more or less ^^

Protogens are the public version of Primagens,

Some people joke about them being toasters including myself, jokes about eating ram, eating cookies and more.

I have a Protogen form that is more like a cyborg then the true Protogen lore
