Elytra

Strange insect like creatures, Elytras, (or Drug Bugs) are large mantis related creatures indigenous to much of the empire. Although there is a marked color difference between the two tribes of Elytra found, the Maniic variety and the Medenta variety, they genetically are the same. They are found in high concentrations in root tunnel systems and near caves, but inhabit almost the entire Empire. They possess weird powers leading to their advanced combat prowess (for bugs) as they can block weapon attacks and walk on water. 
They seem to have some intelligence to a degree as they have trading agreements with other races, concerning the addictive substance they produce called Dew, however how they communicate with other races is unknown to the Dalmer, and their status as a legitimate other race is questioned. These insects are also hunted for their wings, which are used for wingsuits

Also called “Walking trees” these creatures are essentially a slave race to the Elytras, who work tirelessly to serve their masters in exchange for minute quantities of Dew. When not on the drug, they are quite intelligent, and are suspected to be related to the other sentient plant and tree life forms found on Welt.
