Homebrew Chitine Species Details
Chitines were about 4 feet tall and had four arms, each of which had an extra joint. Each of their hands and feet were embedded with claws, which allowed them to climb most surfaces. Their faces held faceted eyes and mandibles attached to their mouths. Chitines could spin webs from their stomach. Their skins secreted oil, preventing the chitines from sticking to their own webs.
