[b]Race Traits:[/b]

[b]Hive Minded[/b] (-1) - Members of these species display a high level of teamwork and organization that is the result of an evolutionary caste-system. Whether it is a chain of superiority, or co-existing pieces who deal with various tasks or even an incredibly versatile command chain, this species has unrivaled organization and efficiency. 

[b]Extra Arms[/b] (-1) - Members of these species showcase an unnatural evolutionary feature: an extra set of arms located above or below their shoulders. Though seemingly cumbersome at first, these arms are just as functional as the other two, making this species both excellent physical workers and warriors.

[b]Repugnant[/b] (+1) - Members of this species are, frankly, hard to look at. Whether it is a lack of symmetry on their bodies or some particularly obnoxious or gross feature, other races frown upon them for their looks. While these features hardly limit them in their way of life of interacting with each other, more often than not even members of this race crave those from other species, as well as usually getting avoided in a multicultural crowd.

[i]An average-sized Mordukai of the Soldier caste.[/i][/center]

Mordukai are human-sized insectoids organized into hiveminds of Hives that are totally loyal to their Queen, split into four Castes;

Soldiers (all female) are about the same size as a human, but you're more likely to get your throat ripped out by a Mordukai Soldier. Soldiers are hunters and warriors foremost, but hunting and warring requires intelligence. However, it could not be said that the average IQ of a Soldier is equal to a human, it is reasonably close. The typical lifespan of a Soldier is significantly longer than Workers and Drones, at around 70 years of age if the Soldier doesn't bite the dust at a young age or in battle.

In comparison to the standard Mordukai Soldier, Queens have thicker legs and abdomens due to their increased weight and need to lay eggs up to once a month. The typical Queen, if she makes it to adulthood at 10, can live up to 90 years if lucky, especially if the Hive is in a resource rich area. Queens are also known to have significantly larger heads and thinner arms, owing to their emphasis on thought over force.

Workers (technically female as well) are about a half the size of the average human and somewhat dumber than them, making Workers harder to train when it comes to skilled labor. They are the foragers of the Hive currently. Their lifespans typically end with them buried by 30, though they reach adulthood at 5.

Drones are the males of the species, and they are rare in number. However, they have one goal above all: Be the sperm provider for as many Queens as possible. They do whatever it takes to convince a Queen to have them, from offerings to more horrible things. Their bodies have adapted to this, often allowing their size to grow and grow through exercise and combat, with legends of 9 feet tall monster Drones. Drones tend to operate alone and without allegiance, seeking glory, offerings, and Queens. For better or worse, Drones are bandit wildcards that typically die before 30. Live fast, die young.

[b]Population:[/b] Up for community vote, depending on traits

[b]Race Behavior:[/b] Mordukai currently exist in a hivemind society with a quartet of castes: Queen, Drone, Soldier, Worker. The other castes are almost unbreakably loyal to their Queen, and there is but one Queen in each Hive. Unlike much smaller insectoids, Mordukai Queens do not lay up to 1,600 eggs a day, instead laying at most one per month per Queen.
