Chitin’s a giant softy, literally. The rapid growth that allowed for his ascension and mutation into a Goliath diverted proteins and minerals from his brain to his body, allowing for the size and hard chitinous plates, but causing his cognitive abilities to be stunted.
He’s fairly simple and innocent, and acts much like a giant puppy, especially with Mean Streak who tries to train him to be a warrior, and tends to fail. He is fiercely protective of his mother and his hive, but among those that he cares for there is no one sweeter.
