Hraval

Hraval is a fictional species from the tabletop role-playing game Pathfinder. They are described as nomadic, insectoid humanoids with a strong connection to the desert environments they inhabit. Hravals are characterized by their chitinous exoskeletons, multiple limbs, and a hive-like social structure. They are known for their resilience, adaptability, and proficiency in survival in harsh climates.

The Hraval are believed to originate from the world of Golarion, specifically its arid regions. Their culture is deeply intertwined with the scarce resources of their homelands, leading to a nomadic lifestyle focused on finding water and sustenance. They often live in small, familial clans that travel together, sharing resources and responsibilities. Their society is generally egalitarian, with leadership often falling to the most experienced or wisest members.

In terms of abilities, Hravals possess natural armor due to their exoskeletons, and are often skilled in ranged combat, utilizing spears or other thrown weapons. Their insectoid nature also grants them certain resistances, such as to poison or extreme heat. They are typically depicted as pragmatic and stoic, with a deep respect for nature and a cautious approach to outsiders. Their interactions with other races can vary, but they are often wary of those who do not understand or respect their way of life.
