Tykthas

The Tykthas are an insect race from the Jirni Universe on an towering island called Black Rock.

Biology
The Tykthas are a large pale skinned insect-humanoid race. They possess bony chitinous carapace, standing over seven feet tall. Their species received their name due to the noise in which they make when conversing with humans. Attached to their back are two long flexible tendrils ending in pincers. They are extremely strong, capable of pulling a full grown human with little effort.

Their children however were noted to be very tiny, about the size of a doll, though lacking the tendril of the adults and extremely thin.

History
The Tykthas traded with the pirate Boro, giving him ziar, a black energy crystal, in exchange for live meat.

Culture
They were insectoid, yet individualistic. They were carnivorous species, however they were civilized enough to be reasoned with. However they did not like to be considered fools and cheated, resulted in those that stole from them to be captured and eaten. To mine for the ziar crystal within Black Rock, they utilized their children to extract the rare mineral from the cracks.
