The variable characteristics (vitality, strength) will be given here for the biggest kitin specimen of each species.

Vitality

Sub-species	Level	Vitality
Kizoar	236	5 440
Kipesta	239	5 440
Kipucka	245	5 828
Kirosta	253	5 828
Kinrey	259	9 600
Kipee	238	10 922
Kiban	227	10 922
Kincher	248	14 880
Kidinak	253	16 000
Kizarak	253

The weakest kitins are the flying ones.

Then come the kirostas and kipuckas, whose vitality is modest but which an armoring protects.

The kitin workers enjoy a reinforced vitality, probably necessary to carry out their work.

The kinrey is an elite soldier; moreover it is encountered mainly in Prime Roots, where its vitality is thus worth twice the value given here.

The kincher is well known for his exceptional vitality among other characteristics.

Less known, the kidinak is even more vigorous, and moreover is heavily armored.

And far above the others is the kizarak, which has a similar vitality to those creatures called "Bosses".

Strength and special strikes

Sub-species	Level	Strike	Special blow	Note
Kiban	236	759	930	Blinding effect
Kizoar	236	1 012	2 024	Double damages
Kipucka	245	1 012	2 024	Double damages
Kincher	248	1 012	2 124 Electricity	Fast cast
Kidinak	253	1 012	Hypnotic gas	Zone effect, very slow cast (6 s)
Kipesta	239	1 054	1 596 Fire	Slow cast
Kipee	238	1 126	1 126	Long stunning effect
Kizarak	253	1 133	2 628	Rooting effect, unknown damage type
Kirosta	253	1 435	1 435 Poison	Also very weak retentive poison effect
Kinrey	259	1 435	3 070 Acide	Fast cast

The kitin soldiers (kirosta and kinrey) stand out clearly from the lot. All the other kitins strike with almost the same strength.

As for the special blows, the most devastating are those of the kincher and the kinrey: powerful and fast, they are able to carry two of them successively.

Attack pace

Sub-species	Pace (hits/mn)
Kipee	19
Kiban	19
Kipucka	22
Kipucka	22
Kizoar	22
Kirosta	22
Kincher	22
Kidinak	31
Kinrey	31
Kizarak	31

The difference between "worker", "regular" and "elite" kitins is found again clearly here.

However, the apparent attack pace has to be balanced by their use of special blows.

These can take time (kidinak, kipesta) or on the contrary be very fast (kincher, kinrey), without altering the flow of normal blows.

Moving speed

Sub-species	100 m in…	km/h	m/s	h.s. factor
Kidinak	22 s	16	4,5	0,78
Kizarak	20 s	18	5	0,86
Kipee	20 s	18	5	0,86
Kipucka	17 s	21	5,9	1,01
Kinrey	16 s	22,5	6,25	1,07
Kiban	15 s	24	6,7	1,15
Kizoar	15 s	24	6,7	1,15
Kirosta	15 s	24	6,7	1,15
Kincher	13 s	27,7	7,7	1,33
Kipesta	12 s	30	8,3	1,44

This table shows the number of seconds required for the kitin to travel 100 m.

By way of comparison, a running homin covers 100 m in about 17.25 s, or only 9 s in a frantic race, which cannot last indefinitely. Mounted on a mektoub, it also takes 9 seconds to cover this distance.

Among the kitins, the kipesta and the kincher are champions.

The workers (kipee, kipucka) don't need to go very fast, and the elite kitins, defenders of kitins' lairs, don't rely on their speed either.

The "h.s. factor" gives the ratio between the speed of a kitin and that of a homin. The kipucka moves barely faster than we do.
