Almaas

The Almaas are an insectoid race with an appearance similar to anthropomorphic ants. They originate in Tubeshesh, specifically from the almaas capital Alnam. They are entirely homebrew and was created by Peyton Seals.

Appearance
Almaas appear similar to anthropomorphic ants. They have a hard exoskeleton which grants them a natural armor. Their eyes are black with thin red irises. All almaas have six limbs (fours arms and two legs).

Culture
Almaas have a history if hostility towards other races. After the aarakocra exile, the people had to choose who their new pharaoh would be and while the almaas fought to secure one of their own as a leader they have always been refused and eventually kept to themselves in Alnam.

Almaas Abominations
Almaas Abominations are a monstrous branch of the almaas which appear and behave more like typical ants except they are greatly oversized to match the proportions of almaas people. Some abominations have the ability to breathe fire, though Kontar suggests that it is hardly a simple feat for them to accomplish as they are likely in great pain when they do breathe fire. It is possible they originate out of dark experiments conducted by the almaas people.

Trivia

 * Almaas Abominations are inspired by both the Fire Ants from Fallout 3 and the giant ant creatures from Earth Defense Force 4.1
