Chitinoid

Physical Description

Reno, chitanoid legend from Brawhalla

Chitinoids four-armed, moth-like humanoids. They come in a diverse range sizes, though they have common characteristics shared between individuals. Common features include a hard exoskeleton, which can vary wildly in colour, long floppy antannae, and of course, four arms. They're the least humanoid a humanoid can get.

History

Chitinoids are a race of moth-like humanoids that are from and dwell in deserts. Their history is rich with technological advancement and war as a result. It started with tribes, then villages, then cities, then territories, then nations at war, with a chief, royal family or government at the head of each side. There are rumors they created the first guns. Their origins trace back to the same time of human origin, where they evolved into what they are now.

Society

Chitinoid society shows great resemblance to wild west society. Shootouts, bounty hunting, bar fights, these would all happen in Chitinoid society, but with rickety but futuristic technology like a laser revolver or a rusty, floating metal orb. Old towns or slave towns would look much like a wild western town, but big cities would exist in the same style. Chitinoid society isn't too unfriendly though. Thanks to their technological advancements they have amazing healthcare and quality of life in big cities, and things like shootouts and bar fights aren't too commonplace.

Chitinoid Names

Male: Reno, Ren, Rocket, Pylo, Trike
