Enoks

Enoks is a fictional species featured in the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons, specifically within the setting of Spelljammer. They are depicted as insectoid creatures known for their nomadic lifestyle and their unique method of interstellar travel. Enoks are characterized by their segmented bodies, multiple limbs, and a hive-like social structure. They are often portrayed as traders and explorers, navigating the vastness of space in specialized vessels.

The biology of an Enok typically involves a chitinous exoskeleton, antennae for sensing their environment, and compound eyes. Their societal organization is based on a queen or a collective consciousness that guides the hive's actions. Enoks communicate through a combination of pheromones and a series of clicks and chirps. Their natural habitat is not fixed, as they are constantly in motion, dwelling aboard their ships or in temporary settlements on celestial bodies.

In D&D lore, Enoks are often depicted as neutral in alignment, prioritizing the survival and prosperity of their hive above all else. They engage in trade with other races, offering unique goods and services derived from their travels and their specialized technology. Their ships, often organic in appearance, are a testament to their distinct approach to spacefaring, utilizing principles unfamiliar to many other Spelljammer races. Encountering an Enok hive can lead to opportunities for trade, or potential conflict if their interests are threatened.
