Mantid Psychics and Scavengers
Habitat: Desert, Grassland; Treasure: Armaments
Thri-kreen psions harness their psychic powers to avoid danger and manipulate objects from afar.
Thri-kreen are mantis-like wanderers who harness their innate camouflage and psychic abilities to survive. Different groups of thri-kreen have distinct carapaces, from the rocky shades of desert-dwellers to the vibrant hues of those living in verdant lands. While their language has a distinctly insectile quality, thri-kreen often use telepathy to communicate, and groups can rapidly share a wealth of detailed information without making a sound.
I would tell you now the tale of the first Ka’Cha, the first thri-kreen who knew and taught the truth: that the clutch is all.
—Ka’Cha, thri-kreen knowledge hunter
