They communicate with the movement of their antennae and cerci, along with hissing noises that change in intensity and pitch. Despite their size, the Kimuhat are quite fast runners and their size, about the same of an adult alligator, scares most of the smaller predators. Unlike other insects, also due to their size, they cannot climb walls, although they have a good grip on muddy surfaces.

| - They are considered omnivore since they feed off small fruits and parasites, making them an helping hand for peasants. They communicate with the movement of their antennae and cerci, along with hissing noises that change in intensity and pitch. The Kimuhat lay eggs and mate only during certain periods of the year. Their eggs have a rounded shape, and are small and jelly. The newly hatched are whitish, but develop a greyish hue and metallic shine as they get older. They have three long cerci at the tips of their abdomens, one off the end of their body, one facing left, and one facing right. They also have two small eyes and long antennae, and move in a wiggling motion that resembles the movement of a fish. Their average lifespan is between eight and fourteen years, although there've been examples of Kimuhat who lived even for twenty years. Despite their size, the Kimuhat are quite fast runners and their size, about the same of an adult alligator, scares most of the smaller predators. Unlike other insects, also due to their size, they cannot climb walls, although they have a good grip on muddy surfaces. The Kimuhat are commonly used by peasants to hunt and eat parasites that can harm their plants and crops. Due to their size, they are quite strong and could throw a person on the ground easily, so they're often kept with latches. Their carapace is quite thick and some civilizations, such as the Rakashani, make armors out of them. In the Abunese medicine, a potion consisting in boiled antennae of a Kimuhat, mixed with lemon juice helps to cure headaches.
