Homebrew Blattodean Species Details
Though typically a bipedal species, the Blattodean possess additional appendages that, in a casual setting are used as arms, though when covering tracts of land, they are just as useful as legs, permitting the Blattodean to dash quickly using their multiple limbs. As a bug-like species the Blattodean also have a hard outer carapace, protecting them from physical harm. With a focus primarily centered on survival, they are likely to delegate other races as nothing more than nourishment for their continued living. With a comparatively short lifespan of fifteen years and maturing at just two years of age, they typically only focus on what is necessary to survive. Due to this day-to-day lifestyle, they do not require the need to sleep, able to rest on the fly while even performing lesser tasks.
