Kalabatzi

The kalabatzi have four legs that look like human legs arranged in a circle around their pelvis, but instead of ending in feet, they end in tips that look like exactly like those of a spider.

Their torsos have a central spine and have floating ribs that go in a circle around their bodies. Their organs are arranged in a tight spiral inside their ribs, with the exception of their reproductive system, which is located at the center of their pelvis. The external part moves and looks similar to a sea anemone's tentacle, while the internal part is similar to a frog's cloaca; however, it is not used for urine and feces like that of a frog; those processes occur through the kalabatzi's toxic sweat. They reproduce similar to frogs, but outside of water and with larger eggs that males carry attached to their "waist" (under the ribs, but above the pelvis).

They have four circularly symmetric arms. The arms again look human, but end in pincers and are unusually skinny near the elbows.

Their heads are a simple pillar with three eyes arranged in an equilateral triangle on each of four sides, each between two of the arms, so they are located directly above the legs. Their mouth is on the top of their head, but because they breathe through it as well, unless they are eating, they cover it with a breathable, but impermeable hat developed by their scientists in the event of sudden rain (thus cutting drowning deaths by nearly 73%). They wear no clothes, have only recently developed the ability to "speak" (sounding more like sighs, screams, and steam whistles), and have no significant scientific inventions other than the previously mentioned hat. Their skin burns the same as human skin, so they spend very little time in the sun. Occasionally, they are found wandering Dar Mien Cu, but not even the Dar Mien can explain their presence there, as no one has ever found a kalabatz's home.

They eat mostly small animals like bunnies, rats, and mice and when a kalabatz is found, they are usually hunting in fields for these creatures. This does not explain their presence in Dar Mien Cu, however, and there is no logical other reason for them to be there.

There is a superstition among certain consati tribes that seeing a kalabatz in your village is a sign that something terrible (usually a fire) will occur and kill at least half of the village's people. Whether this is true or not has yet to be verified, but most rule it as mere racism and fear of things that are different.

Kalabatz cannot be any normal class, but can be their own class of warriors that are physically strong or very fast, but nothing else unusual. They cannot use any tools not of their own design due to the shapes of their "hands" and "feet" (however, they do not use tools as of yet, anyway, being "pre-stone age" in technology.
