Murdammars

Murdammars are a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the fictional science-fantasy setting of the Starfinder Roleplaying Game. They are depicted as a race of insectoid beings, characterized by their tough exoskeletons, multiple limbs, and multifaceted eyes. Murdammars are known for their communal nature and their complex social structures, often organized into hives or colonies.

Physically, Murdammars typically stand between 5 and 6 feet tall. Their chitinous bodies provide natural armor, making them resilient to physical damage. They possess four arms, two primary for manipulation and two smaller, secondary arms that can be used for delicate tasks or as additional appendages. Their communication is often a blend of clicks, chirps, and pheromonal signals, though some have developed the ability to learn and utilize vocal languages.

In terms of culture and society, Murdammars are deeply tied to their collective. Individual identity is often secondary to the needs and goals of the hive. This has led to them being perceived by other races as alien and inscrutable, though they are not inherently malicious. Their society often emphasizes order, discipline, and efficiency.

Murdammars are skilled artisans and engineers, particularly adept at working with biological materials and intricate mechanical designs. Their technology often reflects their insectoid physiology, featuring organic components and symbiotic enhancements. They have a deep understanding of Xylos's unique flora and fauna, which they incorporate into their tools, structures, and even their own biology through specialized genetic manipulation.
