The C'raab

 

/ˈkrɑːb/

The origins of the C’raab are a mystery, leaving scholars questioning their sanity. Ancient texts mention a master race of chitinous beings; their size is debated; some records state that they are the size of men, and some state that they are the size of a horse, but the discrepancies don’t only end with size. Their physical features tend to change from record to record; some texts depict these beings as human-like in appearance, allowing them to blend in with the average man. Some mention that their appearance is of a bat-like creature with mandibles, frightening to the sight. These discrepancies continue to the number of limbs, eyes, heads... One thing is for sure, though: records never fail to mention their exoskeleton (or skin?), smooth and metallic and chitinous in nature; the colours, though, vary. The colour descriptions range from dark, void-like hues to bright colours that mimic an odd-looking map. Records of the C’raab are still being found; with more and more details being uncovered, we can only assume that we have so much yet to learn.
