Hailing from some sort of [[Death World]], they had to be smart and work together to survive, eventually taking over the world when they figured out how to use surgery and alchemy to reshape their bodies. They casually tinker with their own bodies all the time, from the aesthetic - surgically implanted gems and precious metal - to the functional, like implanted poison-needle-guns. In fact, their "religion" is basically that the body is the house of the soul, so you have to personalize your house. They sell all kinds of weird critters and plants to curious folks, like kittens with wings and birds that grow flowers, and they also offer unparalleled surgical skills. Want to replace a missing limb? Add a new arm? Change sex? Grow wings? They can do all that shit and more. Only problem is, they have a very "function equals form" mentality and little understanding of demihuman aesthetics, so unless you're very specific, well, you might end up getting screwed over appearance-wise in exchange for your uber-buff.

	The other major thing bout these guys is that... well, frankly, they're assholes. Apparently, to make them stand out compared to the very pack-focused thri-kreen, xixchil have a racial outlook that boils down to "look out for number one", placing their own interests first, their family's interest second, and their race's interests third. The justification boils down to survival of the fittest, but it really is baffling that these guys were even able to form some semblance of civilization in the first place if every single one of them is supposed to be a super-selfish individualist, but chalk it up to just some of the general silliness of D&D at the time and Spelljammer in particular.

	::Surgical Venom Glands: Three times per day, after tasting a victim (usually by licking their weapon after a successful attack), the xixchil can choose to generate personalised poison or anesthetic from glands in its mouth, which takes one round to develop. A xixchil can apply the toxin either by spitting it onto their fingerblades and slashing the victim, or by biting them. When using venom, the victim must make a save vs. poison with a -4 penalty; this either doubles the damage of the forelimb attack, or immediately inflicts damage equal to the xixchil's total hit points if delivered by bite, if the victim fails their save. If they succeed, they are immune to that xixchil's venom forever afterwards. When using anesthetic, which has no effect on Large or bigger creatures, the target must pass a saving throw vs. poison or be paralyzed for 1d6 turns. Xixchil venom applies to an external weapon remains viable for only 10 turns, and the venom is useless except against the creature it was created to be wielded against.		::Surgical Venom Glands: Three times per day, after tasting a victim (usually by licking their weapon after a successful attack), the xixchil can choose to generate personalised poison or anesthetic from glands in its mouth, which takes one round to develop.
