Let's talk about bug people.

What about bug people do you want to talk about?
Finish part 4 of Thri-kreen romance Fourteen. I know you're reading this.
What is it about them that bugs you? Like for me, I'm left wondering how their organs and respiratory or nervous systems work on such a scale.

Probably some kind of magic reinforcement.

A high-capacity filter-like book lung capable of increasing the surface area exposed to air and draw out oxygen in as little space as possible, with a eno-exo skeletal structure of segmented bones that grow from inside the body like a typical eno-skeletal creature, but extend outward through a series of hinged cuticles to create a natural armor of carapace made of dead and ever-growing calcium reinforced cells.
The exterior shell is actually quite brittle, and protects more through an ablative effect than anything else, snapping easily under pressure to absorb blows but growing back quickly, while the still-living cells that make up the primary skeleton offer the real architectural support of their bodies, providing a marginally denser bone structure compared to most other civilized races and more comparable to animals such as chimps.
Likewise, this means that the insectoid people must molt regularly or suffer potentially life-risking ailments, hampering mobility and potentially calcifying the body. Such grooming implements are often mistaken by outsiders as giant nutcrackers or implements used to consume shellfish, leading to rumors of cannibalism that are entirely unfounded. Mostly.

In addition, the denser-than-average muscle and bone density and typically angular shape of their carapace means that insect-folk are typically very poor swimmers, despite being almost as closely related to crabs as humans are to apes, and without proper equipment an insect-folk of nearly any breed will simply sink like a stone. Despite this, their strength and stamina, as well as their natural climbing and community-focused nature means that they are often well suited and naturally gifted sailors, and in a bit of grim utilitarian economics, their inability to readily abandon ship often means a crew of insect-folk will often prove to be far more loyal in dire situations.

What about bugfolk based on natural water dwelling insects like water striders and the like? Would they suffice in their element if they were human sized anthropomorphic creatures?
>>46537937
Probably not, surface tension doesn't translate as well for size increases.
Anybody still got that image of the cute moth people with the fuzzy fur "collars" arou d their necks and the big eyes?
Hivemind, overused cliché or still cool?
>>46538800
only if it's capable of coherent thought.

Hey, bugs are meat bags too.
Just with plates of kerotine over them.
