Description Proto-Anthins were a species of arthropod about the size of larger breeds of dogs. They lived about 3.000 Earth years ago and their hives were often found in a more dry areas of The Great Birthgiver. Unlike the modern Anthins, they moved hexapedaly and their hives had only around 100 members, which often relocated into new territories to gain resourses.

Anthins possess many differences from their feral ancestors - both biological and behavioural. While their predecessors were nomadic the Anthins live in a continent sized megahives housing millions of queens and drones and billions of various types of workers. Another change was the way of the locomotion as Anthin are quadrupedal and use their first pair of limbs for manipulation.

vz. M 3027 was from series of experimental queens. After being found to have a cognitive functions unusually higher than what most of the Anthin queens posses, she was put into special program to develop Anthins capable of operating off The Great Birthgiver.

vz. M 3028 or better known as "Alexandra". This specially modified worker serves as both the representative of the Anthin species and associate of a Earthling named Kotjeslav.

Finis-Anthins are model of heavily modified anthins which become its own subspecies, found in the younger reality bubble of the anomalous bi-universe called DvojKosmos. Their origin isn't clearly documented and the population of the Finis-Anthins doesn't seem to be aware of their past. The Finis-Anthins were spread across the Orion Arm in the MilkyWay galaxy by Democratic Galactic Republic and are are classified as low class citizens which often serve as cheap labor. There is no clear way to distinguish between if their are queen or a drone and is likely that there aren't even any workers. Even tho Finis-Anthis are taur in build, they are capable and often enforced by D.G.R. authorities to use bipedal locomotion. While standing on their hind legs, the middle pair helps with stability, however, the limbs can be also used as extra pair of hands.


[1] Mandibles, similair to those of the insect from Earth, used to be the original mouth structure.
[2] Trachea is a respiratory system which remained for the Anthins from the Proto-Anthins, aside the special models. Trachea serve Anthins on their homeworld just fine, however, if one of these alien insects found themself on any habitable world then suffocation would be inevitable.
[3] Anthin hands are symetrical finger layout. Vz. M 3028 kept the number of 4 finger, however, the layout was modified to be more charismatic for Earthlinks.
[4] When looking at the eyes of the Anthins, you can see a fuzzy dot moving according onto which they are looking at. Since Anthins have compound eyes they can't have a real pupils. The pseudopupils are compounds squished by muscles. This adaptation allows them to focus their sight on various objects, however, it is unclear if it evolved naturaly or if the Anthins modified their eyes in this way.
[5] Vz. M 3027 was one of the first model to undergo a heavy modification of the respiratory system. The multichamber unidirectional respiratory system allowed better oxygenation of the vz. M 3027's body. It was one of the first steps to make Anthins survive on alien worlds
[6] Thanks to the DNA donors, vz. M 3028 and later models were customized to grown a fuzz across their body, usualy in a form of a mane. Aside the practical aplications the fuzz allegedly has a effect on charisma.
[7] Anthins possess jaw strcture similiar to the terrestrial vertebrates - having a upper and lower jaw. The mandibles thus are used only for holding than for processing.
[8] As vz. M 3028 was dedicated to serve outside The Great Birthgiver, it was necessery to ensure that she won't collapse under a gravity significantly higher than 0,62G. The whole support system was replaced by a custom skeleton and the chitin remained only as protective shell, looking its funcionality as a exoskeleton.
[9] The previous respiratory system used on vz. M 3027 was further modified for vz. M 3028. The multiple chambers were kept, however the delivery of the oxygen to the cells is done by blood.
[10] Finis-Anthins't hands and feet possess 5 fingers/toes, unlike their predecessors. It is unknown what is the reason for the extra finger as the 5th digit doesn't gave them any remarkable benefit.
[11] The smell got fused onto single aparatus for the Finis-Anthins. The reason may be more understandable when we remember that the Anthin's language uses both sounds and pheromones for communication.
