tanarits

Tanarits are a fictional species from the world of Eberron, a campaign setting for the roleplaying game Dungeons & Dragons. They are a nomadic race of insectoid humanoids, characterized by their chitinous exoskeletons, multiple limbs, and a strong connection to the natural world. Tanarits are known for their tribal societies, often living in the vast and untamed wilds of Eberron, such as the Demon Wastes or the jungles of Xen'drik.

Physically, tanarits vary in appearance, but commonly possess segmented bodies, antennae, and mandibles. Their exoskeletons can range in color and texture depending on their environment and lineage. They are generally strong and agile, adapted to harsh conditions and a life of constant movement. Their society is typically organized around clans or hives, with a strong emphasis on collective survival and the guidance of elder shamans or matriarchs.

Tanarits have a deep respect for nature and often incorporate natural elements into their culture, art, and spiritual practices. Their beliefs often revolve around spirits of nature, ancestral worship, and the balance of the world. While often perceived as primitive by more technologically advanced races, tanarits possess a rich oral tradition, intricate knowledge of herbalism and survival, and unique forms of artistry. They are not inherently good or evil, their morality often defined by the specific traditions and needs of their individual tribes. Encounters with tanarits can range from cautious neutrality to outright hostility, depending on the circumstances and the tanarit tribe's specific experiences with outsiders.
