[[Vykathi]] are an infamous race of carnivorous insects. Standing upright on two sturdy legs, their soldiers are slightly shorter than an average [[Human]]. Their four clawed arms are ideal for vicious slashing attacks. However, they are not well armored and are definitely one of the vykathi's most expendable castes. |
