What I always like to point out is the Goebies. That race is near useless, barely able to exist without falling over or crushing themselves. But for some reason the Airut and Tuska enslaved them. If they enslaved a useless race like that, wouldn't you think it'd be better than to enslave something more useful like the Naragi? 1. So you're saying a "weaker" race couldn't have survived where a "stronger" one was destroyed under similar circumstances? By that logic, goblins are stronger than ourgs because they were both used as troops by Bandos, but goblins are still numerous while ourgs are nearly extinct.
2. The airut are specifically mentioned as having slaughtered the naragi with no attempt made to enslave them.
3. It's quite an assumption to say that the goebies are "near useless," even if my dearest does call them the worst race in lore. There is evidence that they once had an advanced civilization, and it's difficult to say whether they or the naragi would have been more useful for the airuts' purposes.
4. Enslaving a race incapable of doing much to fight back has its advantages. CD_Paladin_C said :
That's where this falls apart. We have evidence of Tuska enslaving races. Also there's evidence that Skargaroth had no followers and was lone gunning it. Kinda hard to genocide effectively by yourself. Then we have the laundry list of all the genocides Saradomin committed. 1. The airut enslaved the goebies, not Tuska. Tuska isn't intelligent enough to enslave anything.
2. Except that Skargaroth didn't "genocide" the naragi by himself; Tuska and other gods were also present. Besides, a lone god can still do quite a bit of damage.
3. Saradomin has not committed any genocides to our knowledge. The closest he came was destroying the "devils" on New Domina, who were described as Always Chaotic Evil, and the Zarosian "genocide" which was a cultural genocide rather than a literal one.
