Det’s Xenotypes – Keshig Mod

Author of the Det’s Xenotypes – Keshig Mod: DetVisor

Keshig Xenotype Mod brings a unique, lore-rich xenotype to RimWorld, inspired by history, myths, and culture. The Keshig are warrior-like beings engineered as an invasion force by a now-dead empire. They now form warbands, raiding and pillaging others as they consider it their right. Their melee combat prowess is unmatched, though they struggle with ranged weapons and are psychically deaf, making them formidable yet specialized fighters.
