### Adjective

Druhite

The subspecies managing to survive from the Milz'vosh'nik'val Empire's fall. These Insectlike people now live in the hostile environment of Cherufe Prime, hiding from the dangers above in their hidden underground cities below. Thanks to their bioscience and magic they stay hidden... but for how long is to be seen.

*Druhite Child "Why do we live under the surface papa?" Elder Druhite "The surface is harsh and unforgiving young one, we still pay for our ancestors mistakes to this day, it is up to you and I to make it so we can one day see the sun again and stand proud."*

## Personality

The Druhite are a people that are very community driven as a whole, due to the close knit nature of their society and the constant threat of death if their existence was discovered by the Cherufe above them on the surface they have learned to constantly defend and aid one another. They often build their cities tightly packed together and with multiple layers to the point that there are towers of huts stacked to the ceilings of the caverns all becoming one three dimensional neighborhood.

They also share a love to learn and research new things, a near compulsive curiosity towards the unknown that is often immediately tried to teach to ignore as a child due to the lessons learned from the fall of their ancestors empire. Curiosity is good, but only if met with equal or more caution. This leads too many researchers but a lack of overall new ingenuity due to a lack of risk taking. They have a society mostly driven by helping out one another leading to a very communistic society due to the close knit nature and lack of basic materials.

Builders make up most of the population with 3/7ths of their kind while soldiers take 2/7ths and scouts the other 2/7ths. Builders are often laid back and methodical, choosing a slow and steady approach over a quick and aggressive one. Soldiers are very often the opposite, finding great passion within themselves to strike down their enemies or lead movements to the often risk abhorrent people, a many good leaders of issues within their colonies have been soldiers, buckling down to get done what needs to be. Scouts often take supporting roles too the colony. Either as inventors, researchers, magicians, scouts, or even common things such as cooks or librarians.

## Description

Druhite's are a group of monstrous humanoids descendent from the Milz and as such are reminiscent of bipedal insectoid creatures. Though which insect they take after is various and practically unlimited, you are just as often to meet one with a stinger and wings as you are to find one that's abnormally long and riveted like a centipede. They are a highly variable race making it all the more impressive that their community is so tight knit. There are also those with more human blood in them as a recessive trait, leading to human looking people with insect features such as partial exoskeleton or claws hand hybrids.
