Yesterday, I began my intro to the Chiladean sentient hermit crabs, but I needed to create one of their "humanoid suit-vessels" they pilot from inside to integrate into society better than their natural forms. Because they have cybernetic jacks built into their heads and at the end of their tail to operate the vessel's AI and walking system, any critical damage taken by the vehicle can cause damage to it's pilot. Klattera is walking in her natural, unprotected form beside her brother/mate Kladdick who wears his new soldier vessel. You can see his glorious face through the helmet visor. They pull they legs close into their body, and use their tiny chest limbs to dexterously work the bridge controls. In humanoid form, they can better adapt to other humanoids societies and work technology, that their natural form isn't well adapted for... enjoy!
