Beetles

Beetles are a race of sentient bipedal bugs that are native to the harsh desert. Beetles look like a cross between a man and a large bug. Almost all of them have antennae and an extra set of arms on their chest. Some look like desert beetles, while others take after desert spiders or scorpions. Beetles do not have vocal cords like humans and rely on telekinesis to talk. When they speak they don't have a singular voice, rather the voice in the recipient's head sounds like a different person depending on the tone. For example, one Orc might hear the stern tone of their father one minute when the Beetle is annoyed, then the soft voice of a former lover when the Beetle is relieved. An Elf listening to the same psychic conversation might hear his mother, and then a dear friend.
  Once viewed as barbarians and raiders, in reality, they were defending their homeland from colonial states trying to steal resources from the desert. Now countless centuries-old wars have been tentatively put aside as the Elves and the Orcs allow them to live in their cities. The food and magical wares that they sell in the cities are a new indulgence for many citizens.
