The average dromite stands about 3 feet tall and weighs around 35 pounds. Unlike most other humanoids, dromites are androgynous, with only two members of their hive possessing female or male traits – the Grand Queen and Elected Consort.  \nDromites have chitin-encrusted skin, compound eyes, and two small antennae protruding from their brows. They have the silhouette of a thin humanoid, but have no body hair. Where a humanoid might possess a head of hair, a dromite has a thin ridge of intricate chitin that smoothly rises from its skin and extends down the base of its head, neck and the rest of its body.  \nA dromite’s eyes sparkle like pale yellow or white luminescent orbs divided into hundreds of tiny cells. Dromite skin ranges from gray to brown to yellow, with chitin having a deeper hue.  \n􀀥􀁒􀁑􀁇􀁈􀁇 􀁉􀁒􀁕 􀀯􀁌􀁉􀁈  \n\n| Dromites belong to an ordered society where each dromite is dedicated not only to its hive, but also to others with which it establishes a bond. Dromites are loyal to those they form such emotional bonds with, and will undertake great efforts to protect their people. While dromites have a caste society, there is no barrier between the castes, each working alongside the others to create a functioning, harmonious collective.\u003Cbr>Dromites will establish special, self-selected groups called life bonds. These relationships are similar to what other races refer to as families, and members of a life bond may have a closeness resembling marriage among its members. Life bonds generally consist of members from all castes.\u003Cbr>􀀺􀁒􀁕􀁎􀁌􀁑􀁊 􀀷􀁒􀁊􀁈􀁗􀁋􀁈􀁕 􀀶􀁈􀁄􀁐􀁏􀁈􀁖􀁖􀁏􀁜 |\n| --- |\n| When a dromite is born to the Grand Queen, it is preselected to a particular caste depending on what traits the hive will need. Each caste focuses on different aspects of dromite society, using the talents of its members to best fulfill its role.\u003Cbr>Despite being a hive society, dromites are independent individuals with their own dreams and fancies. Unlike other societies, however, dromites are most apt to assist one another in pursuit of such interests, especially in the case of life bonds.\u003Cbr>􀀦􀁘􀁕􀁌􀁒􀁖􀁌􀁗􀁜 􀀥􀁈􀁜􀁒􀁑􀁇 􀁗􀁋􀁈 􀀫􀁌􀁙􀁈 |\n| Dromites possessed with desire to explore the world outside are fostered and supported by their hive.
