N'hlathi

The N'hlathi are a sapient species, and one of the many races present in the extradimensional realm of Elysia.

Biology
The N'hlathi are centipede-like creatures which live in the Purple Mountains, in the Vale of Dreams. They feed on the seeds of the great pale poppies which bloom every ten thousand years. The rest of the time, the N'hlathi hibernate in their burrows.

Culture and society
Little is known about the N'hlathi, as only the Elder Gods remember the time before their last hibernation began. However, it's safe to assume that, like all the other inhabitants of Elysia, they are likely peaceful creatures. Their language is so complex that even the Dchichis haven't been able to decipher their script.
