The champion race is a genetically engineered offshoot of the neomorphs, bred to provide the Polity with a superior combat force to defend themselves from enemy aggression.
Biology
Larger, stronger, and faster than their parent species in every respect, champions are imposing physical specimens. They are competitive, aggressive, and strongly territorial. Their bodies are armoured in certain places, notably toward the end of the tail, creating a "spike" they can wield as a lethal close-range weapon.
A neomorph champion is considered a match for a leviathan in hand-to-hand combat.
