Invectids



Invectids are the species that compose most of the enemies of the Humans, for many years they schemed to conquer Arachna. They reside in the Invectid Nation. That changed once Mantid was defeated and the Oracle Sun was restored.

Some Invectids such as Grasshop and Katydid are not allied with the majority of their species and are friendly towards humans.

History
The Invectid Nation was once a grand fertile and thriving land created by the Spirit Oracle and inhabited by the Invectid people. So long as the Oracle Sun kept providing light to the land, the Invectids would thrive thanks to the Oracle. While

However, one day, for unknown reasons, the light from the Oracle sun vanished within Invectid territory. It was at this time that a little known Invectid warrior by the name of Mantid stepped forward. Mantid impressed the Invectid people by apparently defeating the humans legendary hero Quake in battle. He then claimed that the Oracle had forsaken the Invectids in favor of the humans. He was able to get the Invectid people so angry that they appointed him there new leader. He then reorganized the Invectid army, who battled with humans army, the number of casualties on both Invectid and human sides were numerous.

Eventually the truth of Mantid's lies were revealed by the Spider Riders. They, along with the Oracle were then able to resurrect of the sun and the Invectid nation was made livable once again.

Physiology
The average Invectid was approximately the same height as a human. They are principally a greenish color, though this varies greatly. All Invectids have a hard carapace. Most Invectids have two thin legs; though this too often varied. They also posses two arms; each had joints analogous to the humanoid elbow and wrist, and each arm ending in a multi-fingered hand. Virtually all Invectids possess two antenna near the top of their heads. It's uncertain if these antenna are some sort of information-gathering organ(s), or the human equivalent to hair due to there needing to be cleaned often ("The Wages of War").

Etymology
"Invectid" is a portmanteau which may be based on terms such as "Infected" or "Insect" or "Invader".
