Creature:Shellious/Chelu

The Chelu are a stronger and less docile subrace of shellious from Serlissa.

Origin
The Chelu are relitively new; being roughly 2 million years old. The Chelo Kingdom of the blue shellious relocated to Serlissa after it's terraforming to avoid an ongoing war among the other kingdoms. They then formed the Serlissan Kingdom of Durlesh. While the shellious kindoms united on shellis to keep the peace of the planet, the chelo remained indipendant for the year. The Serlissan Kingdom of Durlesh eventually came to a close by the formation of the Shellious Imperium. Emperor Durlesh married Empress Sharren uniting the 2 shellious kingdoms. They quickly adapted to the currents over the next million years and became the Chelu.

Shellious Imperium
On Serlissa, and many other planet in the imperium, the chelo and chelu lived togther as equals. The agressive nature of the chelu led to a civil war that ended with the near-extinction of the chelo. The war led to many steriotypes about the chelu's anger. The Chelo went extinct at the end of The Julth War due to the Chelu's dominate DNA.

Physiology
The Chelu look like blue shellious with shorter and wider mouths. The Chelu have a larger dorsal fin on their head for water movement that also acts as protection for the external gills if bitten. The Chelu have more oddly shaped legs than the main race that resemble that of a grasshopper.

Behaviour
The Chelu are more agressive than the other shellious and are commonly used in military. They are also stronger, and often apply for heavy lifting jobs and manual labor. They are quick-tempered and impatent by shellious standards (though by human standards they are very polite).
