description: 'The insectile bog striders call themselves seshes, but they take no
  offense at those who use the more common vernacular to refer to them. They resemble
  upright water striders with four legs, two arms, and powerful mandibles. Bog striders
  can move about on water like solid ground, chasing down prey or fleeing from predators
  across the water. They rarely leave the swampy rivers and lakes they call home.
  Bog striders stand 5 feet tall and weigh approximately 150 pounds.




  A bog strider''s diet consists almost entirely of meat, but they prefer to feed
  only on animals, as they consider the consumption of the flesh of any sapient creature
  a taboo.




  In sesh society, each individual is expected to serve equally in all efforts to
  ensure the society''s survival against the more aggressive creatures often found
  in or near their swampland homes. In addition, each member of the community is expected
  to develop a skill that contributes to the community''s prosperity, and by extension,
  the continued survival of the species. Traditionally, female bog striders are builders
  and artisans while males are hunters and gatherers, but often such roles aren''t
  limited to a single gender, as every member of a small community pitches in to help
  as they can.
