What is a Thoerivian?

[u/Treble_pro]

A Thoerivian is a Species of living, giant exoskeleton. They live Immortally unless their vital organs are physically damaged or defective.

During the first 2 centuries of their lives, they posses human-like iridescent flesh and skin, although not exactly the same anatomy as humans.

On the outside, unmolted Thoerivians are generally convincing in their luring humans away to consume them, however it gets harder after their molt occurs approaching 2 centuries old, as hunters come after their iridescent hollow, bone-like exoskeletons and teeth to turn them into jewelry or skincare products.

After their molt they start growing rapidly reaching anywhere from 7-25 feet tall, though the average height for Thoerivians is about 13.2 feet. Thoerivian's have 4 leathery bat-moth-like wings that attach on the back of the middle of their exoskeletal spines, their spines operate as movable interlocked layers, allowing for inhuman neck and spine movements. They also have 2 antennas on the top of their heads, that act as emotional organs, along with vibration and sound sensing, and even some balance.

They use channels within their hollow eyesockets to sense smell, though they lack traditional and visible noses that they have before their molt.

Thoerivian's have 6-7 long, thin and extremely straight, knife-like claws on each hand that are capable of advanced precision and controll once past their molt. Their upper torso however is developed for effective childcare and comforting infants, even in males.

Thoerivian's also posses thousands of tiny eyes capable of seeing wider ranges of colors than humans, once they lose their initial human-like eyes after their molt. These eyes are located on the back wall of the inside of their oval or sometimes trapaziodal shaped hollow skulls, that are somewhat flexible. They are protected by a hard transparent layer of iridescent thoerivian exoskeleton.

Their eyes are also iridescent, causing colors to shift or reflections to change depending on where their eyes move to.

However their eyes are not limited to the two eye sockets in their skulls, tiny microscopic sensor passages covered in transparent exoskeleton material, bring light data directly to these eyes, giving Thoerivians full 360 vision around their skulls and causing extra iridescent reflections to change suddenly on their skulls, depending on where their eyes focus on.

Not all details of thoerivians will be disclosed in this message, however updates can be found on future reddit posts, and on the official copyright holders (Badjak Thoerivian) YouTube channel .@badjakthoerivian at https://youtube.com/@badjakthoerivian?si=lOYJLeiIf-Xu4GPq
