Haldurid

Haldurid is a fictional species that appears in the role-playing game Pathfinder. They are described as insectoid creatures originating from the Dimension of Dreams. Haldurid are characterized by their chitinous exoskeletons, multiple limbs, and a hive-like social structure. They possess innate psionic abilities, which they use for communication and defense.

In the lore of Pathfinder, Haldurid are often encountered in areas where the veil between realities is thin, allowing them access to the Material Plane. Their motivations are not always clear to outsiders, but they are generally depicted as territorial and protective of their dream-infused environments. While not inherently evil, their alien nature and psionic powers can make them formidable opponents for adventurers.

Haldurid society is organized into colonies, with a queen or ruling consciousness at the center. Individuals within the colony are specialized for different tasks, such as defense, resource gathering, or psionic manipulation. Their connection to the Dimension of Dreams grants them a unique perspective and influence over the minds of other creatures, often manifesting as shared nightmares or illusions. Encounters with Haldurid typically involve navigating their psionically charged territories and understanding their alien thought processes.
