- Chirean (A series of clicks and chirps)
| “ | "Yeah, they might have a kinda creepy look to 'em--what with those goggles 'n all--but they're harmless enough. Just don't go threatenin' their dens without expecting them to reply in kind." |

The Chirean are sapient species living in the sump levels of Zaun.
Lore[edit | edit source]
| “ | "They're sweet enough on their own, sure, but get a bunch of 'em together, and before you know it, they've built some madcap machine and are off knockin' down some part of the Lanes." |

The first Zaunite miners to discover the chirean thought them timid, simple creatures. But as the years passed, and as they grew comfortable with humans, they slowly revealed their close societal bonds, and their seemingly native understanding of technology. Chireans cannot speak human languages, as they communicate through chirps and clicks, but they have a limited understanding of the spoken word.[1][2] Chireans possess an innate understanding of technology and greatly enjoy working on machinery, especially together.[3]
It takes a lot to upset a group of Chirean, but when they get mad, everyone's gonna know about it.
