Pang Xie

Average Height: 2 meters
Average Lifespan: 150 years
Extremely tall and completely covered in a bright red exoskeleton, the Pang Xie have six-legged crustaceans are extremely strong and surprisingly quick for their size, both on land and water. The exoskeleton acts as a natural armor, but is flexible enough to allow complete movement. The torso of the Pang Xie rises near the front of its legs in humanoid fashion with exceptionally wide shoulders. The arms are thick with large claws at the end. A trio of digits are found inside the claws to help finer manipulation of objects. The head have a pair of antennae-like feelers atop the skull. The bright red exoskeleton is often covered with a mix of seaweed and mud.
The Pang Xie are sapient crustaceans indigenous to Kani. While fearsome looking, the amphibious race are actually peaceful creatures who prefer negotiations rather then war to settle disputes. The language used by the Pang Xie is very trade oriented to reflect this preference to negotiation.
The Pang Xie are exceptional fisherman, which is the main source of their diet. The crustaceans live in fifty to one hundred member colonies built on the tidal areas surrounding the volcanic islands of Kani II. Pang Xie are an exceptionally rare sight off Kani II, preferring the simple life surrounded by their pristine ocean environment. It is rumored that the Pang Xie’s antennae are incredibly sensitive and they can predict nearby seismic activity.
