They are unmistakably modeled after the insect men we have found here time and time again, however they are like none we have ever seen, and during my travels I have seen quite a few changed ones, my interpreter called them. They are massive, even more so than the land dwellers, despite the lack of anything below the waist. Most seem to have at least 7 arms, losing some likely through the wear of time, the patchy silver skin showing this easier.
