Unggoy

The Unggoy (Monachus frigus), colloquially known as Grunts or Fodder, are a naturally evolved species of bipedal demiarthropods. Native to the planet Balaho, Unggoy are one of a limited number of species known to boast a -class intelligence capacity, albeit a somewhat limited one.
By 2142, the majority of the Unggoy were absorbed into the interstellar Covenant Empire, a federation of unique, sentient species. Centuries of discrimination and oppression against the Unggoy led to widespread regressions in cultural, societal, and technological infrastructures; consequently, many were led to believe that the race as a whole is generally incapable of matching or even coming close to the mean intelligence quotients of other sentient races; in reality, following their liberation by the Humans and at the end of the First Great War, an assisted cultural boom laid the framework for a well-developed central Unggoy society, governed for the most part by the Kabu'a Protectorate.
==Anatomy==
The Unggoy boast a rather unorthodox biological composition, in comparison with other species such as the or . They boast a thick, rigid, complex skin that is more or less an exoskeleton. It is composed of a thick, organic structure that is reinforced and "guided" by a series of ligaments that allow for maneuverable joints. Behind this structure is a layer of intertwined muscles, veins, and arteries, somewhat like that of a Human's. Because of the fact that Unggoy require methane rather than oxygen for proper respiration, along with other factors, their blood bears a light blue, metallic tone and smells of mildew.
