The exact origins of the thri-kreen have been lost in the mists of time,
however myth says they once lived in great hives in the tropical forests.
However their kind has not been seen upon the surface of the world in any great
numbers in centuries. Rumor has it that they Thri-Kreen moved beneath the
surface to escape the approach of mankind, however there may be other reasons.
Half man and half insect, the thri-kreen do not readily adapt to the society of
human folk. As a natural self defense mechanism, the Thri-kreen coat their
weapons with a poisonous venom which their bodies produce. Thri-kreen appear
to have a natural tolerance to poison and disease, a attribute of their
insectoid ancestry.
