Behold The Vitruvian Ormigite!

OK enough of my Art Blasphemy Ha Ha!

Culture:
Anyway here is my MOAG Creature Creation. The species name is "Ormigite" and they originate from the planet Formiga. Their culture fairly closely resembles the African Termites that once resided Earth. Their homes are giant mounds basically the size of skyscrapers and are located all over their planet.


(Click for Enlarged Version, Its much better!)

Inside central chambers of these mound there lives a giant Queen and other very large but few Females, who rarely ever leave due to their primary jobs of mating and ruling the hives. In the secondary chambers, just outside of the central chamber, are the barracks which hold hundreds of Warrior Ormigites who guard the Queen and also are sent out to fight the hives battles. Just outside of the secondary chambers are the common grounds which house thousands of Worker Ormigites, obviously the most common type of the species.

Ormigites are a relatively peaceful species but most definitely have the strength to defend themselves. On Formiga there are many other giant insect type beasts that they must defend themselves from. For this they have there many Warrior Ormigites. Aside from fighting their hives survive mostly on agriculture which a large number of the Workers are extremely knowledgeable in. The other part of the Worker Group is dedicated to building and maintaining their mounds.

Attributes:
-Ormigites are very similar to insects because they have an exoskeleton. Except theirs are extremely extremely hard. Because of this they do not have very good dexterity but what they lack in dexterity they gain in health and endurance. It is almost impossible for them to be knocked unconscious.
-Average height is 3 to 5 feet tall excluding the Females which are about 6 to 7 feet tall and also the Queen which is usually 8 to 10 feet tall.
-Average weight for Workers and Warriors is about 200 to 300 lbs. Females are around 600 lbs and Queens can weigh over 1000 lbs!
-Average lifespan is about 120 for the Warriors and Workers, and about 200 for the females.
-Skin Color usually range a light red to browns and then to black. (Like the color of ants).
-Eye Color is always black.



Well I hope you all like the Ormigites and I just want to say that this Species Creature Creator thing has been Awesome!
