The Ken

The Ken, also known as "Homo Kenyon" are a race of humanoid creatures that appear in every Phase of Murp and play a vital role in the storyline.

Phase 1
After the Jungle Murp King had been killed, it was transported to a secret government operation in Antartica. There it was resurrected by artificial implants. Also being studied there were several specimens of creatures, frozen in the ice. They were named Homo Kenyon due to genetic similarities with humans. Soon, the reborn Murp King began to rampage, freeing the Kenyons from the glacier.

The remnants of the Kenyon then created a raft using their own bodies and drifted to Greenland, where they began to rebuild their civilization. However, Murps had already colonized Greenland, and the two began to fight. After being driven away from Greenland, the Kenyons migrated to New York. There, they wreaked havoc. The Kenyons would later spread across the globe, causing worldwide mayhem.

While the war for Earth began to heat up, the Kenyon race began to organize and advance, before then retreating to space. Then they began to use stealth to cripple humankind. While humans were weak, Murps took over as the dominant lifeform and inevitably forced the Kenyons to retreat to the far reaches of our solar system.

Phase 2
After their home planet known as Kenyo had been decimated by the invasive aliens known as Murps, the Kenyons began hunting them down across the galaxy, only to witness the ferocious destruction of planets one after another. The Kenyons now were willing to destroy the Murps no matter the cost, even if it meant the elimination of a civilization.

Upon arriving at Lexicon, they found the Lexiconian cities had been reduced to rubble. There were still many legions of Murps, scouring the land for any survivors to feast upon. With the new ways of the Kenyon, they destroyed the planet entirely, killing the last Lexiconians and Murps, with the exception of a single individual.

When the Kenyons found that one last Murp remained, they rushed to destroy it and end its species entirely. After they arrived at Earth, they found the planet already infested with millions of Murps. They mobilized to destroy them, only to be stopped by the residents of Earth- humans. Defeated, they fled into the depths of space, preparing to continue their conquest against the Murps.

Phase 3
The Ken had dominated and triumphed over various planets until they made our way to Sol's (our sun) solar system. After desolating many of Jupiter's moons, they made their way towards Earth. After one of their ships sent down a pod to test their experimental King Murp, they sent a spy to investigate the progress of their creation. After receiving reports of their spy's remains being found, they began preparations for the most devastating planetary attack in history.
