Task of the Month: Graks
The Graks are the rock chewers. They work closely with the Rigs to generate different particle sizes, from pebbles and rubble, to sand silt and clay. The Grak in the unity's name is Huaca. They are a large semi-translucent Task, human in shape, but with a huge mouth to crush the rocks in. They have sharp claws on their hands to dig into rock and remove chunks to chew up. They have retractable claws on their feet so they can dig in to get leverage when clawing into the rock.

Task of the Month: Yedá
Yedá are known as the sun gatherers. They use a photochemical reaction to generate the food the tasks eat, known as sun juice. They can fly using insect-like wings, and have a pitcher on their back where the sun juice is stored. The tasks use this pitcher to drink the juice, which is their only source of sustenance. Sun juice is a pale green liquid, almost as viscous as water, sweet to the taste, and contains all the nutrients the tasks need, as well as being their source of water. In The Unity each task is given a personal Yedá to accompany them. Before they shared them amongst their groups. Each of these Yedá are given a name based on the name of the task to which it is assigned by taking the second to last consonant in the name and adding that letter, followed by ii, e.g. Forgun's Yedá is named Forgungii.

Task of the Month: The Pix
A Pix is the task that trains carnivores to attack their prey. These tasks are the epitome of predators. The stealth of a tiger with and ever-changing coat, strength of a lion, faster than any animal, it runs and jumps with incredible agility, traveling along on its two legs. The forepaws have two thumbs for superior grip in the flesh of prey. They are truly a terror. That said, Rawful, the Pix chosen to be a part of The Unity of Tasks is uncharacteristically light hearted for such a noteworthy hunter. He is a true friend who loves a laugh.
