Hissu

Two of my continents have the Hissu. They are a race of insect warriors that are known for their four arms and massive numbers. Hissu heads strongly resemble twose of ants but with two pairs of eyes. They do not normally wear armor but instead use their sheer number and disregard for individual life in battles. They are strongly territorial, even if a tribe isn't aggressive it would protect its territory at all costs.

Edit (posted before I finished): there are two variations of the Hissu, Arkesha and Badlands. The Hissu on the arid continent of Arkesha are dark red in color, more aggressive, a bit shorter, and often have long thick hair. In the jungle continent known as The Badlands, the Hissu are dark brown, less mobile, and noticably taller.

Hissu are often decent swordsmen and archers. All Hissu make good laborers and have surprising strength. Their social hierarchy is an interesting one. Each tribe has a queen which grows very big as she often doesnt need to move for months at a time and is catered to at all times by servants. Other female Hissu become warriors or workers, these make up about 80% of all Hissu. Breeder males make up about 5% of Hissu and tend to be taller and more aggressive. The queen will only breed with these Hissu. Breeder males are often exchanged between tribes to encourage desirable traits. The rest of the Hissu are males that are always put to work as servants and laborers. They are often considered the most expendable and carry out difficult and dangerous tasks.

Interestingly enough, the Hissu very rarely wage war with each other, they also easily tell apart members of different tribes.

Also found in Unesa.

Hissu will make large underground colonies with complicated tunnel systems on Arkesha and Unesa but will make dirt mound colonies in the Badlands.
