Shikitari (species)

The Shikitari were a rare, semi-sentient insectoid species from Shikitari.
==Biology and appearances==
Shikitari had multi-stage life cycles. Shikitari were born in egg clusters suspended in a poisonous protective gel to ward away predators. As they hatched, the developing pupae fused to one another, growing into a combined single lifeform. Individual Shikitari grew specialized body parts to become eyes, mouths, feelers, and other organs and appendages. Shikitari pupae grew in a body style that mimicked their guardian.
==Notable Shikitari==
Carl was a member of the species. When Carl fought in The Cauldron on Rattatak, he was experiencing one of the shortest Shikitari stages, and had he lived, would have become twelve flutterscouts.
==History==
At some point, the Shikitari were engaged in a war with the Chiss Ascendancy. During the conflict, a group of heroes were mistaken for the enemy combatants or hostile smugglers by a Chiss carrier.The Unknown Regions
