Itrons

Itrons is a fictional species from the role-playing game "Pathfinder." They are described as insectoid creatures that originate from the planet Castrovel. Itrons are known for their communal living and their strong connection to their hive, which is often referred to as the "Collective Mind." This collective consciousness allows them to share thoughts and experiences, making them formidable in their coordinated actions.

Physically, Itrons typically have a chitinous exoskeleton, multiple limbs, and compound eyes. Their appearance can vary, but they generally possess a somewhat alien and unsettling aesthetic. They are often depicted as being driven by instinct and the needs of their hive, with individual desires taking a backseat to the collective good. Their society is highly structured, with different roles assigned to individuals based on their abilities and the needs of the collective.

In the Pathfinder setting, Itrons are often encountered as antagonists, particularly when their expansionist tendencies bring them into conflict with other races. However, they are not inherently evil, and some individuals or splinter groups may deviate from the typical Itron mindset. Their technology and understanding of biology are often advanced, reflecting their evolution within a highly organized and communal society. Encounters with Itrons can present unique challenges due to their coordinated attacks and alien biology.
