A calikang is a large, blue, six-armed monstrous humanoid that can survive in suspended animation, typically tasked to guard treasure vaults, harems, and castles. According to legend, when the god Vineshvakhi, a deity of guardians and protector of celestial treasures and harems and one of the thousand deities of Vudra, failed to prevent an asura raid, he cut off the six fingers of his hand and threw them down to the earth. The calikangs crawled from the devastated craters where these fingers fell.

| - A calikang is a large, blue, six-armed monstrous humanoid that can survive in suspended animation, typically tasked to guard treasure vaults, harems, and castles. According to legend, when the god Vineshvakhi, a deity of guardians and protector of celestial treasures and harems and one of the thousand deities of Vudra, failed to prevent an asura raid, he cut off the six fingers of his hand and threw them down to the earth. The calikangs crawled from the devastated craters where these fingers fell. Calikangs feel an innate sense of shame about Vineshvakhi's failing, and expect members of their species to atone for it by offering its service as guardian. Although this service is generally expected to last for a century, many unscrupulous characters manipulate the calikang's unique perspective into securing much longer periods of servitude.
