  We introduce the gluequark Dark Matter candidate, an accidentally stable
bound state made of adjoint fermions and gluons from a new confining gauge
force. Such scenario displays an unusual cosmological history where
perturbative freeze-out is followed by a non-perturbative re-annihilation
period with possible entropy injection. When the gluequark has electroweak
quantum numbers, the critical density is obtained for masses as large as PeV.
Independently of its mass, the size of the gluequark is determined by the
confinement scale of the theory, leading at low energies to annihilation rates
and elastic cross sections which are large for particle physics standards and
potentially observable in indirect detection experiments.
