[edit] Young Age
As the majority of the terrestrial insects, the Arackrabees passes for diverse stages of development during its metamorphosis (egg, larva and cocoon). During this small period aracks is to the cares of the laborers. Each one of the classes has some main characteristics, starting for its colors, beyond some exclusive characters of each class, that confer different characteristics for eggs and cocoons, confectioned with wires of silk of the proper younglings. When they are young its body soft and it is divided in seven segments that, with elapsing of the metamorphosis will be casting and originate one arackrabee with similar characteristics to the previously presented ones. Although to have legs they only crawl.
[edit] Laborer baby
This is the creature simplest and unprovided of characteristics of the kingdom. Green and without special characteristic the small laboring young constitutes the great population mass of the kingdom. Its eggs are smooth, as well as its cocoons, that are very similar to the small larva. They remain in this period of training of development for little time, a time that its cycle of life is short.
[edit] Soldier baby
These aracks already are born ready to fight and to defend themselves. Its egg has diverse thorns, characteristic that is repeated in the too much periods of training of development. The small soldiers are greaters that the laborers and are kept in the same rooms that they during youth. The main difference in its body is the presence of the thorns in its coasts, characteristic that will be kept and extended in the adult individual.
[edit] Royal baby
The small purple eggs with small white pearls can be changedded in such a way into the queen as in the priest, depending on the necessity. The larva is as the others, but it is bigger and it does not have a defined final form. Moreover they are not kept together with the others, and remain in the room of the queen. They are a little more fat people who the too much younglings aracks, fact that will go to reflect its aspect future. When the cocoon is constructed this assumes two tonalities, half is pink and half is blue. Depending on the external stimulaton small arack if it transforms into queen or priest, making with that the cocoon is total of one of the colors.
These differences in infancy don't generate discriminations between the classes, a time that all very right and are disciplined, but are important for the organization of the kingdom, one of the main characteristics of the Arackrabee society.
[edit] Laborers

Its life expectancy is of about 30 years, but can be more case they doesn't participate of many conflicts during its life. These arackrabees are born ready to defend a time that of eggs, passing for the larva, cocoon and adult, all many thorns present. They are the faster and more agile arackrabees of all the kingdom, and are the only ones that they have a sting in its abdome that, in case that is removed, can take the animal to the death.
Charged of the defense of the kingdom, are its attributions:
- Melee: the soldiers mainly attack the invaders with its spear and the sting. To protect the sting and to hinder that the animal frees it in combat they use an armor strengthened and done for metallic scales that its body has practically covered all, leaving discovered only the members, antennas, tentacles and auditory sensors of its coasts.
- Research: some of the soldiers assist to the priest at the moment to develop new weapons and vehicles for transport and combat, acting in the majority of the times as test pilot.
- Exploration: they are the arackrabees in charge to explore the surface of the planet for land and air and visiting the nearest planets, establishing the first contacts and diplomatical relations. In case that they detect some intruder come of another portion of the universe they quickly leave Ebarkhara in its UFOs to withhold it.
