Samza

Coleopterans are a race of beetle people who will inhabit the world 700,000 years hence. They are similar in appearance to Thri-Kreen, but with broader, flatter bodies covered in a light brown carapace, and more gracile limbs.

The event which propelled Tindy Lou and Tek out of the Far Realm had a recoil effect which snatched up a coleopteran from the far future. His name is difficult for those with lips and vocal cords, but part of it sounds like “Samza”, and he answers to Sam.

His six limbs and good coordination make him a natural in the rigging. In combat, he uses three cutlasses and a strange ranged weapon which looks like a hand crossbow without the bow which shoots some sort of green ray.
