udier

Udiers are a fictional species that appear in the role-playing game Pathfinder. They are described as insectoid humanoids known for their hive-like social structure and their affinity for psionic abilities. Udiers typically possess a chitinous exoskeleton, multiple limbs, and compound eyes. They are often depicted as being highly organized and territorial, with a strong emphasis on collective goals over individual desires.

In terms of their society, udiers live in large colonies or hives, often built underground or in remote, inaccessible locations. Each hive is ruled by a queen or a council of elders who direct the collective efforts of the population. Udiers communicate through a combination of pheromones and telepathic means, allowing for rapid and complex coordination. Their psionic powers are integral to their culture, used for communication, defense, and sometimes manipulation of other creatures.

Udiers are generally not inherently evil, but their alien mindset and their drive to expand their hives can put them at odds with other races. They are often encountered as antagonists in Pathfinder adventures due to their xenophobic tendencies and their willingness to defend their territory with ferocity. Their biology and psionic abilities make them a unique challenge for adventurers, requiring different strategies than those employed against more conventional foes.
