The Thri-Kreen are mantis people with a tribal culture that can also exhibit powerful psionic tendencies. Though a rare sight in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, they're more at home in the desert-based Dark Sun and are far more frequent: Players can even choose to be a Thri-Kreen.
As well as their psionic powers, Thri-Kreen also attack with their ancestral weapons which resemble bladed staves and throwing stars. Their four arms and heightened alacrity make them powerful threats.
In video games, the player can include up to four Thri-Kreen in their Dark Sun: Shattered Lands party. They're also encountered as enemies in the Gold Box classic Pool of Radiance.
