View source for Bugfolk

Bugfolk, Insectoids or Bugmen are all collective and informal names of [[races]] of insect-based creatures common in fantasy and science fiction settings. They range from Thri-Keen from the AD&D setting Darksun, T'Rang from the Wizardry series to Klackon from the Master of Orion/Magic series.

==Appearance and Racial Features==

It's hard to define the generic Insectoid appearance, but it's well established that bugfolk retain most of their insect features - multiple limbs, wings, stings, feelers, compound eyes and chitinous carapace. Most Bugmen are organized in a social structure similar to a bee, termite or an ant hive - a caste system, ruled by a queen. Some of these societies exhibit a "hivemind" behavior - a sort of a collective consciousness, shared over different members of their species, while some of the Insectoids prefer a solitary life-stye akin to spiders or lone wasps. Whether the queen is the only one that can produce eggs or are all bugfolk are capable of doing that is usually setting-dependent.

The most common 'bases' for bugmen are spiders, beetles, ants, wasps, mantises.
