description: 'These strange creatures are native to the __Plane of Shadows__, where
their colorful nature is in opposition to that realm''s overwhelmingly monochromatic
palette. Averaging 7 feet in height, D''ziriaks have four arms, two legs, and a
termite-like abdomen. The larger pair of arms, used for most tasks, have five-fingered
hands with sharp, insectile claws. The smaller pair of arms are reserved for fine
manipulations and are not effective in combat.
D''ziriaks'' otherwise dull brown carapaces are decorated with numerous runes glowing
in bright colors. These tattoo-like runes indicate an individual''s role in D''ziriak
society, and set them apart from their home plane''s other native inhabitants. The
runes glow with natural bioluminescence, and D''ziriaks can make them flare brightly
for an instant, at the expense of overstressing the biochemical glands that create
and maintain the runes for an extended time. The color and shape of the runes are
partially natural, but can be shaped and customized carefully over time to fit the
individual''s station.
The D''ziriak language is a mix of buzzes and chitters, and is spoken by few other
creatures. D''ziriaks prefer to communicate with other species using telepathy rather
than endure the sound of their language being "butchered by fleshy throats." D''ziriaks
organize into hive cities led by a king and queen. These hive cities consist of
impressive spires, yet these towers are only the foremost part of the settlement,
with many more chambers reaching deep below for residences, workshops, and fungus
farms. D''ziriak settlements are lit inside and out with alchemical and magical
light sources, often in the shapes of runes. These dimly glowing towers provide
travelers with landmarks, and perhaps promise safe havens, on the otherwise gloomy
Shadow Plane.
