Arthocobic Terminology

What is an Arthocob?

Arthocobs are a cluster of insect-like creatures from Ralligoraugh. At a time, there were billions of these locusts until the turn of sapience where hive minds were less common. Populations were reduced in mass extinctions and crusades—and the greenery recovered from the ceasing of dire swarms. Thus, it has birthed the true Arthocobs, whose intelligence may be on par with other sapiens of the galaxy. Arthocobs are highly religious, and all temples fall under the same roster of Gods preaching tales of the planet's conceptualization and will under Bhothogoshol, Relik, Ndepthteph, and many more. The language is unique, often described as serenading whispers and clicks. Although they are capable of speaking 'common', they stress their throats to sound intelligible. What an Arthocob may speak fluently in gentle hums and undertones may sound garbled and coarse when communicating in, say, English.
