Thri-kreen are a humanoid insect race with chitinous exoskeletons, standing around 6 feet tall on their hind legs. They have four arms, two of which are slightly smaller and used for tasks requiring more delicate manipulation, such as pottery-making. Their bodies are covered in light blue skin with sky blue scales, and they have large multifaceted eyes on the sides of their heads, allowing them a wide range of vision. Their powerful legs allow them to move quickly and leap great distances, making them formidable hunters in the jungles of their homeland. They communicate using a complex system of clicking and chirping sounds, making it difficult for outsiders to understand their language.
Thri-kreen are a fiercely independent race, and their tribal societies are organized around hunting and gathering. They have a deep respect for nature and their surroundings, and believe in living in harmony with the world around them. They are skilled in using weapons crafted from natural materials, such as bone and wood, and are also known for their proficiency in hand-to-hand combat. Despite their fearsome appearance, thri-kreen are not aggressive by nature and only attack when they or their territory are threatened. They are also known for their loyalty to those they consider friends, and have been known to form bonds with members of other races who show them respect and understanding. Thri-kreen are not commonly encountered in civilized areas, as they prefer to live in their natural environments. However, those who do venture out of the Unknown often find work as skilled laborers or mercenaries due to their incredible physical abilities and unique skill sets.
