 Very self-centered and very isolationist underground-dwelling insectoids with a hive-caste culture. They make tools and weapons from hard chitin, and will build larger items to order. They sell surplus warriors who make excellent and highly loyal fighters, though quite unimaginative and without motivation. They purchase large quantities of food, especially fruits high in trace minerals, and covet information and artifacts. Their hives may be found virtually everywhere -- they purchase land from rulers for new hives -- and they prefer to keep their secrets to themselves. Their most-often seen caste are the warriors, who are 6' tall and have long claws over their hands, and are six-limbed (two arms, two foot-hands, and two foots). Their chitin exoskeletons come in a variety of colors and patterns which identify the hive from which a warrior comes.
