Stinkfly

With its advanced and highly specialized ecosystem, Lepidopterra is a generally peaceful swamp planet whose numerous species live among a fantastic variety of giant plants. Residing in a complex of giant hives each ruled by its own queen, Lepidopterrans are the predominant inhabitants of their planet. Life on this planet is seasonal, and every species does its part to make sure the flora continues to produce its fruit so that all can live together in harmony as they have for countless eons.

Species: Lepidopterran

Lepidopterrans are an intelligent insectoid race that in many ways resemble an enormous
stinkfly. With their transparent wings, ultra-sensitive antennae and sturdy exoskeletons Lepidopterrans explore vast territories, collecting plant pollens for harvest. Depending on the plant, a Lepidopterran is capable of creating a wide array of goos and gasses with a range of potent effects. Everything from an ultra-thick immobilizing jelly to a potent stinging spray can be manufactured in their pollen ducts. Lepidopterrans are extremely acrobatic flyers and able to pull off amazing maneuvers of precision and grace. While designed mainly for grappling, the hard spikes on their forearms also make a valuable weapon in battle. Like most earth insects, Lepidopterrans are extremely vulnerable to any kind of chemical poison or gas. Although their exoskeleton bodies remain fairly rugged, Lepidopterran wings are extremely fragile and easy to damage, so they must remain in constant motion or risk being grounded ... for life.
