Kreen

To the denizens of Arkos unfamiliar with the insect like Kreen, their appearance can be unsettling. They are often mistaken for monsters, and sometimes accidentally fall into that misconception because of their strange speech and practices. The insectoid Kreen have six limbs and are covered in tough chitinous plates ranging in a variety of colors. Their lowest pair of limbs is used as legs, and their upper pair of limbs serves as arms. The middle set of limbs is small but dexterous, and the Kreen use them for fine manipulation, leaving heavy work to the stronger upper arms.
Most Kreen dwell in vast networks of tunnels beneath the sands of the Harenae Desert, and often live very short life spans compared to the other races of Arkos. While many Kreen do not possess arcane abilities, it is much more common to find many that have adept psionic abilities. Some scholars theorize that this psionic prevalance is due to the Kreen once having a hivemind.
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the Kreen is that they do not possess a concrete language, either verbal or written. Rather, Kreen communicate with a series of clicks and gurgles, though magical means of conversing with them still function. The word Kreen is actually Draconic, which roughly means 'people.'
