Pridotuns

Pridotuns are a fictional species from the "Starfall" universe, a science fiction role-playing game. They are a sentient, insectoid species characterized by their crystalline exoskeletons and a hive-mind social structure. Physically, Pridotuns are typically depicted as having multiple limbs, compound eyes, and a segmented body. Their exoskeleton is not just for protection; it is also capable of absorbing and storing ambient energy, which they can then utilize for various purposes, including defense and communication.

The Pridotuns are known for their highly organized and communal society. Individuals within a Pridotun hive are deeply connected through their hive mind, sharing thoughts, emotions, and experiences. This collective consciousness allows for incredibly efficient coordination and a singular focus on the goals of the hive. Their motivations often revolve around expansion, resource acquisition, and the perpetuation of their species. While not inherently malicious, their alien perspective and hive-mind directives can bring them into conflict with other species who value individuality and personal freedom. Their technology is often integrated directly into their biology, making them a formidable and unique presence in the Starfall galaxy.
