The insect-like inhabitants of the Earth's Moon have a highly developed and structured society, in which every individual is ideally suited to his place in society. The Selenites are primarily subterranean, although they do make use of the lunar surface during the 14-day long lunar "days".
The statistics given below are for a "baseline" Selenite, as they would be if the Selenite did not undergo the training and education required to adapt it to its assigned place in lunar society. Characteristic modifiers for specific classes of Selenite are given below.

** Treat as a Thrown Spear for purposes of damage.
