Sectnids, Shelled diversity

Sectnids are insect-like creatures, having many variations that are carpeted with the name that others chose for them. In reality, each subrace call themselves by a different name, and almost never call another kind of sectnid as their kind.

Basic Information

Biological Traits

There are many subraces of sectnid, each almost completely different from one another in both looks and culture. They almost never call one another a far relative, similar to how not all humans are family just because they are the same race. Each and every subrace have pride in their culture, and will fiercely support it if one is to talk behind its back.

 

Dreifly

Dreiflies are a subrace of sectnids that roam the world. They fly from place to place, almost never settling down for longer than a week. They are also the most friendliest of the sectnids, sharing their stories in turn for others', and never seeking to actively harm other unless in extreme circumstances. However, there is one time in their life when a dreifly willingly stop their journey and stay at a place, when they mate and take care of their children.

Crawnts

Crawnts are diggers of the earth, creating large maze-like homes that only they themselves can travel through. They never give up, and have strong wills that are empowered by a queen, the leader of the colony, and the mother of the entire hive.

Bulkers

Tough beings covered with armor, these are the bulkers. Walking through the earth alone, they will tough through anything and continue on surviving.

Crunters

Ambushing hunters of the deserts and coasts, crunters hunt through the sand, hiding for prey to fall into their traps and nests. They are known to wait for hours without moving in the same spot, until they find their meal close to their lair, before striking it with a kick of earth and sand to blind their ennemy and finish the job with their fearsome jaw.

Blatids

Hunters that live in the woods, blatids find themselves the most comfortable out in the wild. They live away from civilization, in their small village settlement, taking what they only need from the forest, leaving the rest to be of the Earth Mother’s choice.

Maulters

Warriors that take the sky, the ones that hunt down their prey ruthlessly, maulters are the only sectnids known to actively hunt others down.

Genetics and Reproduction

Age. Sectnids hatch from an egg, and go through multiple molting processes, where they usually go through a drastic change in looks. This process usually takes about 3 years, and they live for about 60 years after reaching maturity.

Civilization and Culture

Major Language Groups and Dialects

Most sectnids can only speak in Crittling, a language that is spoken not just by using sound but also certain pheromones produced using certain glands. However, some teach themselves the languages of humanoids as well.

Interspecies Relations and Assumptions

Sectnids almost never commune with others that are not sectnids themselves. In most cases, they don't even talk with other subraces unless they had a good reason for it, such as a life debt or a needed treaty between two groups. Because of this, sectnids do not know of other cultures except for theirs, and others don't know their culture either.
