Shaper caste

The Shaper caste was the caste responsible for creating all things used by the Yuuzhan Vong. Ranging from the mighty Worldships to simple cloathing, the Shapers were guided by strict protocols, and deviance from these protocols was grounds for demotion to another caste, or death.

The Shapers worshipped Yun-Ne'Shel, the Modeler. They didn't usually have scars or tattoes, but would sacrifice hands for new appendages to add them in shaping new creatures.
