- | The Wruuph are an Insectoid colony species which is in a symbiotic relationship with the Suu, as they have a common ancestor which they evolved from, one side favouring the abundant vegetation, the other favouring the more nutrient meat. The Wruuph are war-like and more violent in nature, they use weapons to train, fight the enemy and for fun, but it is not needed on their planet anymore as the surface animals have been tamed by the Suu, this has helped the carnivorous Wruuph as they get meat without having to lose any of the species. Believing that each animal is from one Great Spirit beast and that eating it gives them gifts from the spirits. Inside their hive, the Wruuph are live in each area of the hive as all Wruuph are part of the royal army or are bodyguards for the higher ranks of both species. | + | **Homeworld: |

- | The Wruuph are massive insectoid creatures, that come in a variety of different colours depending on their parents and what hive they come from. | ||
- | The Wruuph have a large Mantis-like head that contains compound eyes made from numerous tiny lenses attached together. They also have three small simple eyes on the top of the head that detect light levels and polarization. Two antennae are attached to the head; these organs detect chemicals, air currents, and vibrations; they also are used to transmit and receive signals through touch. The head has two strong mandibles, used to carry food, manipulate objects, construct nests, and for defence. | + | The Wruuph are massive insectoid creatures, that come in a variety of different colors depending on their parents and what hive they come from. |

+ | Their head connects to their chest which has chitin covering the parts of the chest front where the vital organs are located, with four arms connected to the chest, two on the higher on the chest close to the head and two connected lower down just past halfway down the chest, their arms have three joints, one connecting the arm to the body, one that is half way down their arm that allows their arms to be more movable and the last joint connects the arms to the three claw hands. The Wruuph also have wings that are long, veined and membranous, narrower at the tip and wider at the base. The hindwings are broader than the forewings and the venation is different at the base. The veins contain haemolymph (blood) and both stiffen and strengthen the wings. The leading edge of each wing has a node where other veins join the marginal vein, and the wing is able to flex at this point, the wings also have a protective shell that covers the wings when not in use. | ||

Courtship display has also been observed in other species, but it does not hold for all mantises. | ||
- | The mating season in temperate climates typically begins in autumn. To mate following courtship, the male usually leaps onto the female’s back, and clasps her thorax with his forelegs. He then arches his abdomen to deposit and store sperm in a special chamber near the tip of the female’s abdomen. The female then lays between one to five eggs. Eggs are typically deposited in a frothy mass that is produced by glands in the abdomen. This froth then hardens, creating a protective capsule. The protective capsule and the egg mass is called an ootheca. | + | |
