They have torsos like an wheezing, veiny pink accordian, vulture heads, and legs that make them look like they're walking backwards. They are actually a combination of two races: the Isk and the Yoort. The Isk were artificially created, and engineered so that they cannot live without the Yoort. The Yoort were likewise modified so that they can't live without the Isk, ensuring that neither of them rebels or abuses the other. The Yoorts were a parasite race much like the Yeerks and who also feed on [[Kandrona Rays]]. They, too, took over creatures as hosts and tried to conquer the galaxy. However, after spending so long being forced to enslave others in order  to be free themselves, they came up with a solution. They engineered special hosts that would be most suited to them and could not live without them. In order to be true symbiotes, they altered themselves as well, so that they and their host bodies, called the Isk, formed a single race, the Iskoort, who then built an orderly society on their new home planet. Their society is a strange mix of chaos and order, but they are very important in the fate of the galaxy. The [[Ellimist]] and [[Crayak]] wage their battle over them because in about three centuries, the Iskort and the Yeerk will meet, and the Yeerks will realize that there is an alternative to their current lifestyle.

The Iskoort were once a species, that much like the Yeerks, began as a conquering race that enslaved many races, but eventually, the Iskoort grew tired of it, and found an alternative, by creating the Isks, a smyboite that could sustain them, and modified themselves so that they could evolve beyond the need of a parasitic lifestyle. Sense then the Iskoort have opened up their open arms to other alien species who they often treat rather well (although the Warmaker and Criminal Guilds are said not to like offworlders, even though they still enjoy Howler Memories) Even the Howlers appear to be on good terms with them, as they are often selling their memories to them.

"You see, we Iskoort are not precisely what we seem at first. The body you see is of our symbiote. We are a symbiotic species – a large outer body, the Isk, and the inner self, the much smaller portion, called the Yoort."
―Guide[src]

The Iskoort are a strange, capitalistic race that live on a distant planet on the far side of the galaxy. They are divided into castes which live in guilds and spend their lives doing only what their caste specifies. For example, salesman Iskoort sell anything they can-even memories, skin, and hair. There are even Iskoort whose sole purpose is to buy goods in order to keep the economy going.

History

"The Isk were true symbiotes. The Isk cannot live without the Yoort. And to ensure that this symbiosis would be real, the Yoort, too, were modified. Now Yoort cannot live without Isk and Isk cannot live without Yoort. They are one creature with two parts."
"Oh, my God. Of course. It's the way. The only way. Parasite becomes symbiote. No more infestation. They create the next step in their own evolution and become true symbiotes."
"No more war. No more need to conquer new species, to infest and enslave."
"The Yeerks don't know about this. Even the Yeerks who want peace cannot imagine a way out, a way to end the cycle of conquest."
"These Yoort could be related to the Yeerks. They may be the same species, somehow separated long ago, perhaps carried from the Yeerk home world by some forgotten race."
―Guide, Cassie, Erek King and Ax[src]

They are actually a combination of two races: the Isk and the Yoort. The Yoorts were a parasite race much like the Yeerks and who also feed on Kandrona Rays. They, too, took over creatures as hosts and tried to conquer the galaxy. The Isk were artificially created, and engineered so that they cannot live without the Yoort. The Yoort were likewise modified so that they could not live without the Isk. Together they formed a single race, the Iskoort, who then built an orderly society on their new home planet.

Since then, the Iskoort have opened their arms to other alien species whom they often treat rather well, although it is said the Warmaker and Criminal Guilds dislike off-worlders. The Ellimist and Crayak waged their battle over them because in about three centuries, the Iskoort and the Yeerk would meet, and the Yeerks would discover that there is an alternative to their current lifestyle.
