Section Two - Ryautjan Kroot Leaders

Predator-like Elites

Theme: Each Ryautjan is an apex hunter but also embodies a code, much like Yautja from Predator mixed with Kroot culture. Their names are derived from "Ryautjan" roots but twisted a bit to sound alien, tribal, brutal.

The Ryautjan worship the Spider Gods, seeing them as cosmic spirits.

The Spider Web is both literal (visible constellations) and metaphorical (fate).

The Codex could include a sacred hunt where Ryautjan earn the favor of a Spider God by surviving trials of web and blood.

Maybe ancient ruins on Pech are shaped like giant fossilized spider webs — remnants of the Spider Gods' physical manifestations.
