Matriquito
Matriquitoes are a stalwart people with salt in their blood and an allergy to death. Hailing from windscarred barrens where food and water are scarce, the thirteen-hearted matriquitoes continue to walk when others would have collapsed and perished. The key to their survival is the ability of adaptation. Plastic in their form, matriquitoes can alter their chitinous body at will in order to endure any threat.
