Language: You know International and Undercommon
Age: Drones and Soldiers are considered mature around 8 months old and live up to 25 years. Nobles mature about 1 year and live up to 30 years.
Physical Description: The Rhunan are bipedal and possess two arms. They have a chitinous exoskeleton that surrounds their mucus-covered skin. Rhunan society has no concept of anatomical sex or gender, although those who have travelled out of the bounds of it for a time might gain a bare-bones understanding of it. All of their heads and bodies are differently shaped, but they tend to follow a pattern based on caste.

• Workers' bodies are very thin and possess rectangular heads with front-facing eyes.
• Soldiers' bodies are very stocky and possess a Hammerhead-like face, with two eyes at the very ends that allow them to see in almost 360 degrees.
• Nobles have a body shape similar to most other Humanoids. Their heads are rounded, much like a Human’s head. Nobles are also the only type of Rhunan to possess antennas

Social Difficulty: 3. Hivers have a more unsettling appearance to other sentient species in Isan, one many people might have a hard time looking past. Additionally, the aggressive Hives of southern Isan have made their reputation more onerous. Among the Dwarves, with whom the Hivers have come into conflict very often in the past millenium, their Social Difficulty is a 4.
