Homebrew Thri-Keen Species Details

A race of insect-like humanoids, Thri-Keen wander desert sands, generally avoiding other races. However, some dare to explore past the tribe boundaries, to go where others of their kinds don't. These Thri-Keen are an oddity to nearly all other races, and their travels are followed by curiosity, and sometimes violence. These acts confuse the wanderers, as Thri-Keen do not feel emotions like most humanoids, much like lizardfolk.
