A race of primitive and tribal insect like humanoids, Kree-antha are easily the most monstrous of the intelligent races of Alaraes. Although their culture has not advanced much technologically for the past ten centuries or so, they have continued to develop as warriors and shamans.
Kree-antha are slow to make alliances and friends, but once the bond is formed it is permanent, one way or another. The vast majority of their race come from Suidad, but pockets of them have been found in the deserts of both f Kaldar and Aesh, suggesting that they likely originated in that region. All Kree-antha share the same golden-brown coloration, with minor variations in spots or stripes. Because of their physical similarity, they paint their carapaces when they expect to be in contact with other races, for ease of differentiation. They have eight limbs, four legs and four arms, two of which are much smaller and limited in capability.
Kree-antha society is divided into a simple caste system. Kree-odea are warriors and hunters, and Kree-optera are shamans and chiefs.
