[edit] Notes

I have found an artist to do a picture of this creature. He is working on it presently... but he dosn't know how to download the picture onto a computer. Please help by using the link below. If you see any typos, grammer mistakes, or have any suggestions at all, please go to my user page and click the email link. Please place the subject as either : "Art Download" , "Suggestion" , or "Typos".

[edit] Appearence

The Aarvit is described as having a similar idea to that of a greek centaur... only with a gorilla and a lobster. The upper body is muscular and hairy, almost identical to that of a normal gorilla except with slightly larger canines, lack of white backs, and the hands have been more developed for grasping. The lower body is shelled in a green exo-skeleton. It is primarily lobster like, but again, has differences. The legs, rather than end sharply, have feet like a splodey (please look it up), and instead of claws it posseses two large "scythes" for digging and close range combat located at the waist.

[edit] Internal

Internally they have very powerful muscles all over their body, a skeletel structure in both halves of their bodies, despite having an exo skeleton on the lower halves, and a weak salt filtering organ that started a theory that they originated in the ocean. All of their organs are centered in an area directly behind their "scythes". They possess a large stomach for nutrients. Their incredibly high metabloism and two powerful hearts send blood faster along their muscles, enabling incredible endurance and strength, even the ability to run 38 kilometres an hour for 17 to 19 minutes! The muscles are very much like a chimpanzee's, but not quite as powerful (chimps can pull 1300 pounds with one hand) but they have more muscles in their large bodies and due to the six legs, can pull more because of more griping on their terrain and more muscles in the lower body, enabling even more strength (can pull 1700 pounds with one hand).

[edit] Culture

Aarvit culture is centered around their "scythes". They consider anyone within the species who has a broken or lame "scythe" to be dishonored. Executions are held with weapons (nobles are killed with swords, anyone else a axe), but sacrifices are done when a "priest" cuts open the offering's chest with their scythes, and then cannibalizes the offering. Aarvits live in large "clans" consisting of three to 395 families, each family carrying a single job such as: warriors, priests, hunters, and the rare black shelled assasins. The family job represents the state of honor in the clan, and the scythes often reflect the skill of the trade since almost all jobs have something to do with the scythes. Example: there are three potter families, the one with the sharpest scythes would be able to make finer detail with their scythes. their scythes are the centre of their "blood rights", but the other way for an Aarvit to prove him/herself honorable is battle, hunting, or warfare. The Aarvit social structure is almost completely based on the quality of their scythes, and their skill in any form of combat.

[edit] Tools

The only non-executional weapons are swords, made of their father's scythe for a blade and a horned skull for a handle and gaurd, and a spear made from a splodey claw forced into a long, hollow, bamboo pole. All "warrior" Aarvits have both of these, along with the execution weapons inside folds of their exo skeleton. The Aarvit spear has corrosive acid in it from the splodey venom sack overloading due to shock during death and is very contagious on contact with some one who has it if the spear was modified by Aarvit technology, thus allowing it to be used as a bio-weapon. The sword has corrosive values of some kind also, due to that it is an all naturally constructed weapon. The scythe is made of a material that allows bacteria to feed on it without losing any of it'sown mass, through a currently unexplained process. Because of the bacteria's endless supply, it's slighly toxic if a wound is inflicted, and it would instintly infect the wound.

[edit] Implants and Biotechnology

The Aarvit has been known to often modify it's body through cyborg enhancements and bio engineering. After encountering a presently unknown species who had come to their planet through UFO's. The Aarvits were given the wonder of bio engineering and bio-technology transplants from a piece of technology they left behind, which they later adapter to their unique technology. The Aarvits have since that day been known to almost always have enhanced scythes, such as electric, poison glans, slight mass alterasion (make it longer or wider at will), etc. They have also gotten transplants to enable them to eat more varieties of foods that were previously inedible. They have also been known to take organs and other body parts from creatures that they have slain and graph them to their body. This has made them mistaken for other species at times and because of their clear dominance of the planet and prideful nature, they becaume enraged up to the extent of slaughter.

[edit] Subspecies

These are the subspecies and how they came to be:

[edit] Vision of heracy

The Aarvit's have always seemed to have a hive mind(a hive mind is a group that can seem to communicate without any use of signs or sounds). Because of this they have always worked in groups, any one who was banished quickly died of lonelyness or went insane. One day a Aarvit was born during a war with what they called, the burning scarabs(a group of exiles). this child was born of a mother with incredible immunity systems, but was poisoned by a Aarvit spear. at the moment before his birth the poison had damaged his body and mind, but had not actually gotten into him. Because of this, he suffered hallucinations and emotional problems that sent him on the brink of insanity. But he held on. Because of the hive mind, his discomfort spread to the others, puting his whole hill to suffer. The rage and hallucinations had put the group into a frenzy and made them think every one else was comitting heracy. They went to all out war with all neighboring hills. The conlficts lasted so long that some of the specialist families actually started to developed to better suit their needs. They became the military subspecies.

[edit] Military Subspecies

There are 3 subspecies of the military group. First, there is the assasin group. They are fairly normal looking, the most noticable feature is their black exo skeleton. some more detailed features are: They are slightly slimer, have padded feet for sneaking, and more dextarious hands. Second, are what were quickly nick-named "titan Aarvits". They were given this name because of their large size (10-12 feet) and brutality. They are similar to common Aarvits in almost every way, the only differences being their large size, red exo skeleton, and brute strength. Last, being the "trooper Aarvits". They posses bright yellow exo-skeletons, a natural leadership ability, and incredible prowess in strategical warfare, often found leading groups of 4-17 Aarvits in battle.

[edit] Burning Spite

In the wars that lead, the local hills had realized that they were out matched against their bio-enhanced enemies. So they got their own specialist team. this project was lead by a Aarvit named: vrael. vrael understood how they had gotten the incredible subspecies and started to work. No-one is sure how he did it, but he started with 3 families, and ended it with 3 subspecies he called the "alliance".They helped to push back the enemy, now known as the crimson shell. They were lead by the greatest, and became the greatest, but this enhancment lead to prejudice. The new subspecies were forced into acadamies, only allowed to leave during times of need or with special permission. They didn't mind, they prefered to be isolated, they thought of the others as "lesser Aarvits".

[edit] Alliance Subspecies

The alliance is much like the military, 3 subspecies, each bred for war. First, is the strike Aarvit. it is the same as a normal Aarvit, but with a dark blue exo-skeleton, an extra pair of arms, and each wrist has a pair of small talons that inject poison. Second, is the "beetle" Aarvit. It is like a normal Aarvit, but posseses a metallic green exo-skeleton, 3 sets af oversized beetle wings (2 on the lobster back, 1 on the gorilla back) that enable them 20 second flights, and a lighter build. Last is what was considered the best of them, the "Aarvet". Instead of the whole lobster back, it only posseses four spider like legs extending from a shell over the waist, and sythes that rapidly fall off and replace themselves, enabling multiple swords. "Aarvets" also posses a shining silver exo skeleton over their legs and waist, a incredible infared vision, and a incredible skill with Aarvit weapons, often the most feared group in war.
