Khora/Main

"This is Khora, and her deadly beast Venari. With bladed precision, she is a mistress of entrapment.

Don't get caught on the wrong end of a whipcrack of Khora's steel. It may be the last thing you hear."

- Lotus

Trivia

 * Khora was announced in Devstream 100.
 * Khora was later also mentioned in the Ghoul Fragments.
 * Both Khora and Venari grant mastery points, 12,000 in total.
 * Khora's abilities have undergone revision during the development process due to player feedback on Damage 2.5. Initially designed to change between Physical damage types (,, & ), her finalized kit was showcased on Devstream 109 with the dependency on damage types removed.
 * As a result, Venari gained a new behavior mode selection feature.
 * Khora is the first Warframe to ever require Kavat Genetic Codes, due to Venari being a Kavat.
 * She is also the first Warframe to require Kuaka Spinal Claw to build, possibly due to her connection with the Plains of Eidolon, which is mentioned in the Ghoul Fragments.
 * The inspiration for Khora's name could come from the Greek Goddess Kore, or Persephone, Queen of the Underworld, a theme atributing to Kore's transition from a minor nature goddess, to a mature, confident queen. Her mythological husband Hades also being a God of Riches (such as gems and precious metals), could attribute to her access of metal themed abilities.
 * It is also the modern name for a type of free-standing Ancient Greek sculpture portraying an emotionless maiden symbol of the ideal, transcending above the hardships of the world.
 * Another inspiration could be centered around Plato's term khôra which is neither being nor nonbeing but an interval between in which the "forms" were originally held; it "gives space" and has maternal overtones (a womb, matrix).  Which seems to be the theme of the Ghoul Journal Fragments.
 * Khora's design was inspired from an arachnid, hence the abdomen-like skirt and web-like abilities.
 * Khora is the second Warframe after Inaros to have a built-in polarity in the Exilus mod slot. An Exilus Adapter is still required to unlock the slot, but a Forma is not necessary unless changing it to another polarity.
 * The polarity of the exilus slot matches the polarity of the exilus mod Peculiar Bloom, likely alluding to the simultaneous release.
