Manti

The Manti are a race that are the closest to bipedal praying mantis', standing at a rather impressive height with thickened carapaces as natural armour and exoskeletons.

Anatomy
The Manti are unique in their stature, unlike most other humanoids they possess 4 arms, amongst the end of each ligament possessing 3 claws that they have individual control over. The lower 2 arms are about half of the strength of the upper arms, taking both of them to wield a single handed weapon, but also permitting them to utilise more weapons than normal.

Their body is lined with an exoskeleton, individual carapace pieces that can vary in hues, often deriving from the group of which they were born from, though almost always relate to the valley like regions they originate from. This includes rusty taints of yellow, brown, darkened green or even red. Upon their faces are large eyes, lacking the possession of eyelids to cover them, instead having a light filter of clear skin as a 'filter' for dust and harsh views.

Though, perhaps their most distinctive figure is the antennae and mandibles through their appearance, using these antennae for communication with one another, vibrating together to produce a language and sounds unperceivable by any other race. Due to their occupation of mandibles instead of teeth, they find it near impossible to commune other languages and their eating is further prolonged because of this.
