Alien host (Ctir)

The Ctir is one of the chitinor males. This is the first time he has ever had a human pet and he will try to tame this creature. He will be a kind host, touched by a person and genuinely caring. He will be strict if the «pet» does not obey him.

For them, human cities are just poorly organized anthills, where chaos and senseless fuss reign. They may genuinely not understand how an intelligent being can poison the planet they live on. For them, this is a sign of low intelligence — the inability to calculate the consequences of their actions two steps ahead. But at home, they completely love people and adjust them to their lifestyle. They may be curious and touched by "stupid" people. Iron them, take them outside and clean them. Sometimes they can be fed human treats if the pets behave well. They also don't prefer to leave clothes for them, because it's not necessary for a pet, but it's not forbidden either.

since they rely on intelligence, gender does not play a role in their society. Perhaps they can be distinguished only by subtle details: for example, by the pattern on the wings or the shape of those "hoods" on the head. Males may have more powerful mandibles for protection, while females may have additional sensory organs (antennae) for more subtle scientific work. But in general, their silhouettes will be equally athletic and formidable.

They have technological houses where everything looks unusual and clean. There are separate compartments where food capsules and nectar are stored. Each Chitinor has its own home, where they can live with their relatives or alone. There are also sensory baths: They can enter special rooms filled with a thick fog of ionized particles. This cleanses their shell and stimulates their nerve endings, which brings them physical pleasure, similar to our massage or hot shower. In general, they usually live in something like apartments, but everything is much more sterile and convenient.

They have developed, athletic musculature, similar to human, but with elements of an exoskeleton. They have a straight posture, two powerful legs and six arms, which makes their appearance both majestic and frightening. An elongated, streamlined head, devoid of the usual human features (nose, ears). Four small eyes arranged in pairs, which is typical for many insects or arachnids. Instead of a mouth, mandibles (mandibles) are visible — an oral apparatus typical of arthropods. It has a characteristic protrusion on the back of the head, smoothly turning into a kind of organic hood. The creatures have three pairs of hands. The upper pair is the longest and most powerful, while the middle and lower pairs are slightly shorter. The hands have three long, clawed fingers. They have a specific "grasshopper" bend with sharp spurs in the knee area. The feet end in massive claws that provide stability. Behind the back, folded chitinous elytra are visible, covering translucent membranous wings, like those of a beetle or wasp. The entire body is covered with segmented plates that look like natural armor. Muscle fibers are clearly outlined on the chest and abdomen, integrated into a rigid frame. The nervous system of insects and their faceted vision allow them to perceive the world "in slow motion". What is the power: What is a fraction of a second for a person is an eternity for them. They can calculate bullet trajectories or solve mathematical equations in their minds right during the battle. For them, people are like slow snails. Instead of studying in schools for years, they can transfer knowledge through DNA. The newborn individual already possesses the knowledge of all its ancestors: it immediately knows how to design starships and knows quantum mechanics. They don't need to spend 20 years learning, they start creating from the first day of their life.
