| - True to their name, carapacians have shiny, firm, yet supple carapaces and, like humans, red blood. The only exception seen to this so far is Snowman who had blue blood. It should be noted that this was not due to her being royalty, as with trolls, as both the White Queen and King, as well as the Black King, and the Black Queen of the B1 universe were shown to have red blood. Rather, this color signifies her tie to the lifeline of the Alternian universe, which is represented by blue, and likely occurred after, and possibly because of, her induction into the Felt. All carapacians besides the royalty of the kingdoms have barcodes on their wrists due to being cloned in The Veil. It is implied that they are made from the genetic material of the royalty. They resemble chess pieces, due to their serving a similar purpose. Carapacians come in many shapes and sizes, some having flat teeth and others fangs, some having claws and others variable numbers of fingers, but it's most likely that they're differing species within the same genus. It is at least known that carapacians have ribs, a spine and a pelvis, but, being in sprite-form in the example, it is unclear if there are bones in the arms and legs . The black queen, when drawn in detail, is shown to have jointed limbs. As seen during Cascade, the other carapacians do too and the detail is simply not shown most of the time. Unlike Underlings and the monsters of The Battlefield, carapacians are not directly affected by player prototypings unless bearing a Queen's Ring or King's Scepter, and in fact are the only ones who can use them. This is probably a reference to how pawns can become Queens when they reach the end of the chessboard. Carapacians also seem to have perfect spatial memory, stemming from their genetic material and roles. They also appear to have some instinctual sense for the mythological roles of players they interact with, with WV's instincts going so far as to have a sense that John was being trained by a Thief (Vriska).
