'''Shapers''' make up the leadership of the [[Kroot]], both as individual [[Kindreds]] fighting under the [[Tau Empire]] or as mercenary forces, and oversee the consumption, direction and distribution of genetic material among the most basic Kroot and between various different Kroot forces. The Shapers are referred to as the Shaper [[Caste]] in one source, indicating a cultural link between the [[Tau]] and Kroot.{{Fn|2}}
