[QUOTE="VelvetViolet, post: 6179249, member: 6686357"] The thri-kreen are an WotC PI that appeared in the psionics handbook, and have a noticeable fan following. Unfortunately, they can't be used in Pathfinder because of their PI status. However, the stand-in that could be used in Pathfinder is a no-brainer: the green martians from [I]A Princess of Mars[/I], a book which is [B]public domain[/B] in the USA. Sure, they aren't "mantis warriors," but they're green four-armed barbarians. What's not to like?
