Required Traits

Their exoskeleton is hard like a diamond. The build is lighter for Myrmidon which can fly.
They look like a bipedal (upward spine) bug. It can be any bug that has a shell-like skin (ants, beetles, cockroaches, etc.); or any bug that can fly (bees, crickets, etc.) No bugs allowed that have soft/gel like bodies (worms, slugs, moths, snails.)
The only thing humanoid about the Myrmidon is that they are bipedal. All other features should be bug-like for continuity. We have the right to refuse any submissions that don't properly fit this race, and will help aid you in correctly adjusting it.
The mouth will be bug-like, not humanoid. They often have mandibles, double-jointed jaws, fangs, etc.

Culture and History

They are mysterious and misunderstood; recollections of their culture by Sages and Bards is often misconstrued and false, leading to fear and disgust from other races. Their culture is different, but not barbaric like others claim, and as a race with an often repulsive appearance to others and methods that seem savage... it's no wonder they typically keep to their own kind.
