The Zoq, the Fot and the Pik evolved together on one planet.

All three races evolved as non-predators, which left a niche on the planet for another intelligent species to evolve: the Zebranky. The Zebranky preferred a threesome of foods: namely the Zoq, the Fot and the Pik.

To survive the predations of the Zebranky, the Zoq, the Fot and the Pik banded together, annihilated the Zebranky and formed a cooperative union. They have integrated so well that they no longer recall which of the races are Zoq, which are Fot, and which are Pik.

After the three races killed off the last Zebranky they faced a dilemma: whether to develop technological and cultural sophistication, or to return to the forests and relax, free from the Zebranky. They chose the latter.

For another five thousand years, the Zoq, the Fot and the Pik relaxed in the forests, until one day one of each race was walking up a steep path looking for something to eat, when a bolt of lightning struck nearby.The bolt of energy carved a wheel-shaped chunk of granite out of a cliff. As the rock began to roll down the hill, some dry grass got caught in its hole, and since the rock was still hot the grass caught on fire. Thus the Zoq, Fot, and Pik simultaneously discovered the wheel, fire, and religion. The wheel and fire were based on the rock, and religion developed when the Zoq was killed by the rolling rock and the remaining two decided that he had simply gone to "a better place" (one preferably without dangerous, flaming wheels of death).

The species is notable for the unique interactions between the three members of the union, and for its sport of Frungy, although it is unknown how the sport is played.

The three species are said to feed on airborne zooplankton, solar and ambient energies, and rocky fungal clingers. It's never said exactly which species feeds on what, but there are some clues - the one on the right of the communication screenshot is shown blowing air out the three holes on its head, and the one on the left exclaims "our favorite" when speaking of rock clingers. The function of the armlike appendages on the leftmost creature are unknown, but possibly includes communication since they move when the creature "talks".


Frungy
An obvious satiric take on bad spectator sports, Frungy is wildly popular among the Zoq-Fot-Pik. Absolutely no details about the rules or concept (apart from the fact that it is to be played with gusto!) are actually disclosed, although the Zoq-Fot-Pik are very glad to comment on how great, fun and interesting it is, making numerous references to Frungy throughout the game.
