I know very little about thermodynamics in practice, but would it make sense for hain to have capillaries in the outer layers of their exoskeleton to help cool off? It would mean they would bleed a lot more if you cracked their shells, but it wasn't as if that didn't hurt anyway.

Or, perhaps panting like dogs, would that help?

Cold-blooded?

Bah, I'm clutching at straws. I shouldn't have said anything.

All of those things would actually work quite well! Except maybe ectothermy. That's a metabolic can of worms we probably shouldn't open.

The first thing I thought of would just be really warm, humid breath, but it's possible that their metabolism slows waaaaaaaay down during deep sleep and they lose a lot of heat then. Would make it hard to wake up, though, and their tolerance range would have to be really broad. They might also have some kind of tracheoles hidden in the chinks in their shells and connected to their lungs, allowing them to vent hot air through the rest of their body.

Or, y'know, they just operate at a really high normal body temperature relative to mammals.

Or they sometimes just belch fire when no-one's looking.

Hard to tell.

[@Antarctic Termite] To be fair I'm the new War Demigod, just a clarification. I won't be taking Kyre's actual place for a very, very long time. 

Okay I know you know that, I just wanted a reason to post in the OOC again. As for working anything out given the connection between Kyre and Thacel I don't think it would be necessary. Mutton and Capy are doing most of the legwork, I'm just along for the ride right now.

All good! Would be interesting to see what Thacel thinks as he finds out about that legacy, though. 

You don't need excuses to post in the OOC, remember. We have pages full of memes and smug anime girls from ages back.
