# Thri-kreen
###
The Thri-kreen are a race of sentient bug-people native to the deserts and savannas of the world. Thri-kreen generally avoid all other races, sticking in their tribes unless in the case of absolute necessity, or if they are an adventurer. (like you) Thri-kreen language does not have words. Instead, it consists of clacking mandibles and waving antennae to convey thoughts and emotions. However, the form of Thri-kreen this race contains possesses psionics, a useful tool in communication with other races.

## A Peculiar Species
###
Thri-kreen have two particularly weird quirks that set them apart from the other races. The strangest of the two is the fact that Thri-kreen see all races besides themselves as food, and they love the taste of elf flesh in particular. Thri-kreen will only kill out of necessity, however, and Thri-kreen adventurers are very good at suppressing this. The other strange quality that the Thri-kreen have is that they almost never have emotional outbursts, causing them to viewed as sagely by other races. Thri-kreen with psionics display more emotions, but still do so less than other races.

## Psionics
###
Some Thri-kreen manifest psionic powers, which enables them to communicate with others, and also do a few other things. As mentioned before, this race consists of those Thri-kreen. Because of this, you gain the following abilities.
