Notes: (Lanstiril, 2020-12-01)
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 | Lvl | 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 gaz | 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 run, 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.
