The Grineer are some of the secondary antagonists (alongside the Corpus) of the MMO third-person shooter Warframe.
Once a race of clones grown to serve as slave workers for the Orokin Empire, the Grineer broke free of their shackles in a brutal uprising after the Orokin fell. United under and fanatically loyal to the Grineer Queens, the Grineer became ruthless conquerors just as cruel and oppressive as those that enslaved them and set their sights on conquering the entire Origin System.

They are all genetically defective as they are stunted to ensure obedience to their creators. However their lifespan is only a fraction of that of normal and have various degenerative disorders as they would suffer skin decay, decaying limbs and reduction of intelligence. They compensate these issues by using crude cybernetics and prosthetic augmentations. This was due to centuries of exploitation of genetic templates that has eventually decayed due to the aging and obsolete cloning technologies used to birth each new generation of Grineer soldiers.
