The Nim are a race of insect looking humanoids. They look very much like plump beetles, but instead of a hard shell they have what appears to be beige through light brown, rubbery skin. Their scattered about their rubbery hides are black blotches. Their legs are short and powerful, they have only fours toes on their feet, three pointing forward, and one pointing back. Their muscular arms reach down to their knees, on their fore arms they have black. Their head looks almost like that of a maggot’s, but with a spider-like mouth. Their head has two sets of eyes, a smaller pair above a larger pair, they smaller being used in darkness. On the top of their head they also have black bands. Nim do not have visible ears, they are much like a frogs ears, pits on the side of their head. A tribe of Nim came from a dimensional rifts somewhere in Africa and never left, they tend to stay around moist, tropical climates, but travel a lot due to their thirst for knowledge. Nim are herbivores that only require food about once every two weeks. Nim are natural leaders and can handle themselves in many fights. Their rubbery hide is greatly underestimated by most.

<-------Nim only have one pair of arms(only 5% have two pairs)
