All Invid are considered clones with very little variation, except for body coloration and small variences in height and weight (typically 2 inches and or 5 pounds).
The Invid have 6 "types". Each type is an evolutionary step towards the "final state" which the Regis believes that she embodies.
The Type 1 is little more than a meaty looking crustaecean with crude flippers rather than true appendages. It is barely worthy of having ratable attributes. Type 1 Invid are encountered only in their mecha or in nutrient pools deep into a hive.
The Type 2 is reminescent of a bipedal slug with two fingers and an opposable thumb. They to are barely worthy of having attributes equivalent to a human. It is only their attention to detail and singlemindedness that allow them to actually possess human level intelligence. These Invid, like the Type 1's are also only encountered in their mecha or in nutrient pools located deep in the hive.
The Type 3 Invid is actually quite capable. It is their diminshed link to the Regis that allows them to function with greater autonomy and with greater intelligence. The Type three Invid has clearly formed four fingered hands and large three toed feet. It is rarely encountered outside of it's mecha.
The Type 4 Invid is the current stage of most Invid. It is a completely humanoid being with exceptional attributes. It is alomost impossible to defeat one on one without the benefit of high damage weapons and ballistic armor. The Type 4 Invid is commonly encountered outside of mecha, but it almost always wears the Invid Enforcer exo-skeletal system.
The Type 5 Invid is indistiguishable from a normal human/Tiresian except for being almost perfect and having green blood. They are almost all 5'6" tall and 135 pounds for females and 6'2" tall and 210 pounds for males. They are strong (bench press on average 350 to 400 pounds), smart (IQs average around 190), quick (about twice as fast as a normal human), enduring (can run 4 minute miles easily), and almost all are insane to one degree or another. Due to their evolved brain structures, they no longer have an innate link to the Regis, and this seems to cause serveral nuerosis in this type of Invid.
The Type 6 Invid are considered to be nothing more than a myth.

Racial Overview: The entire Invid species is split into two somewhat hostile factions. Whether this is a war or a mere "disagreement" is unkown, although both sides seem to avoid one another. On the one hand there is the Regent who is blatantly psychotic by any measure. On the other side there is the Regis, who is merely enigmatic and not above killing to acheive her goals, whatever they are.
Below the Regent/Regis there exist the "Brains". "Brains" are in effect sentient bio-computers. They run hives, ships, genesis pits and entire planets. The stats for an Invid brain are:
