Yes, I have 10 other races of good humanoids and 5 bad races. That does not include the countless hybrids of humanoids. lol  You have good points that I have personally wrestled with on a realistic level comparing animals and how venom works.

@jared-williams

Your idea is mostly correct, though I was hoping to avoid them being seen as typical zombies, more like a lab mutant perhaps ghoulish. In a way, they are undead as the host dies to the pathogen/virus as it takes over.

An underlying idea is that the Kragvora which are like living weapons being lab-made can actively control the venom such as the amount, potency, and function as it is injecting it because of the bio crystal tech. I have thought of seeing this venom as a nanobot made of crystal particles programmed to a specific function when released. One other thing to know is that due to the planetary environment most people and animals have crystal particles and even hard crystalline skeletons. As for the doses, another idea was that the smaller the dose, the more potent it is, and being efficient as they are, they do not waste their stored amounts of venom. Whereas the larger the dose, the less potent it is to cause damage to the host as it floods the body, taking control of the internals for the purpose of morphing the host. Maybe to make it more realistic, they have one gland for each of the 3 types of venom. Still ironing out the details but think this is a lab-engineered bioweapon that in some ways operates like a computer.
