Species Name: Schimantians (Volitare artus)

Lifespan: ~150 Years

Notable Members: Source, Mintaka, Somnus, Capella

Description: Schimantians, previously Schima-ontanians, are a bipedal race of evolved insects native to the planet Schimantia.


Biology

Appearance: Schimantians possess a wide variety of skin pigmentation, ranging from all colors of the rainbow. A schimantian's most notable feature is their limbs, which are not attached to their bodies. They possess protruding, bug-like eyes.

Schimantians possess a durable exoskeleton which may harden or soften depending on mood/situation.

Unlike most species, schimantians do not excrete waste from their bodies. When food is consumed by a schimantian, all of the nutrients in the food are consumed, along with the remainder of the food itself, which is converted into a special kind of protein and is used to strengthen the exoskeleton. If a non-food product is consumed by a schimantian, it will be detected by the immune system and expelled from the body via emesis.1

Male: Male schimantians possess a rectangle-shaped torso, and are typically stronger and more protected by their exoskeleton than females.

Female: Female schimantians possess an hourglass figure, and are typically shorter than male schimantians by a few centimeters. Unlike males, eyelashes are present.


Culture

Relationships: Interspecies/interfamily relationships are highly frowned upon in Schimantian culture, especially ones involving humans.

Relationship with Humans: Schimantians have established little contact with humans since the schimantian-human war of 1753, in which Schimantians attempted to conquer planet Earth in its prime. Ultimately, the Schimantians failed and were forced back onto Schimantia.

Relationship with Argonians: Schimantians have had a fairly decent relationship with the Argonians, as they previously used to import and mine resources from the areas of their planet that the Argonians could not withstand, due to the extreme temperatures. As they caught word of their near-extinction, the schimantians took the steps necessary to ensure that the same would not happen to them.

Relationship with Venomoxians: Schimantians have taken the steps necessary to protect themselves from Venomoxians, and have figured out how to farm hygrus.
