Homebrew Dynastinae Species Details

 

The Dynastinae are one of the oldest of the Beetle species, descending from the great Hercules the Thrice-Horned. They are a highly proud and stubborn people, with their many great houses feuding against each other in a constant attempt to prove themselves the greatest. Once every 1000 moons, a Thrice-Horned is born, who the rest of the Dynastinae clans rally around and follow into a great Jihad against their enemies, carving out more territory for the Great Houses. 

 

They are of generally medium height, but of a very strong build, most notable for the great horn that the males bear upon their heads.
