Orthopterran

Orthopterrans are a race of humanoid insect-like aliens.

Anatomy
Crashhopper, the only Orthopterran seen so far, resembles a humanoid grasshopper. However, there are Orthopterrans who resemble different humanoid insects such as crickets, locusts, and wetas.

Ecology
Orthopterrans are preyed on by Mucilators, gray frog-like aliens who have sticky pink sacs across their body that are designed to trap their prey.

Powers and abilities
Due to their large and muscular legs, Orthopterrans are able to jump extremely large distances and create shockwaves whenever they land.

Orthopterrans do not have an endoskeleton, but instead have a durable exoskeleton that is filled with viscous shock-absorbing fluids that protect their internal organs.

Because of how durable their heads are, Orthopterrans can use themselves as battering rams.

Orthopterrans can use the claws on their legs and arms to scale walls and other tall structures.

Weaknesses
Orthopterrans can get themselves trapped in a Mucilator's sticky sacs, which they are unable to escape from without outside assistance.

There is a clear limit to the durability of an Orthopterrran's head, as they can feel dizzy from hitting an incoming missile.

Orthopterrans have a limit to how high they can jump from the ground.

If their legs are hit correctly, Orthopterrans can automatically be launched backwards.
