Teronian
Teronians are ant-like people who live in giant stone and earth hives. They have a central queen who runs the hive and keep telepathic tabs on their citizens. From a young age Teronians are pruned for a specific position in society. The eggs the queen lays are for a specific type of Teronian: Diplomats, Warriors, and Craftsmen.
Warriors are the largest of the Teronians. They tend to be quicker of reflexes or stronger then most other Teronians. With six legs they are also the most stable. Generally they end up being the gaurdians of the hives. They also tend to be the least hatched variant of Teronian, unless there is a suspected need. Warriors develop quicker then most other Teronians, being fully grown within three years. This results in a shorter lifespan though.
Craftsmen are known for their skill in tools. Whether they be miners, builders, metalsmiths, or gemcutters, Craftsmen are experts at their trade. They are generally smaller then warriors and only have four legs.
Diplomats are the most 'humanoid' of the Teronians, having two legs and the most human-like appendages. It is believed that they were bred specifically to interact with the humanoid species that the hives encountered. They tend to be the smallest and most charming of the Teronians.
