LoreEdit

A common sight throughout Istaria, the Loricutus Beetle*, or common Istarian Beetle, has been found in nearly every environment on Istaria, from fiery volcanos to sandy beaches to the icy frozen mountains of the distant north. Like the Gruoks, Beetles have also served as a common source of food and resources over the millennia to the many Living Races.

*This may be a scientific name for the beetles in Istarian lore. It is not a reference to Loricatus Beetles due to the fact that this specific word was written first on February 2nd, 2009. Do not remove or attempt to correct..
