Sentient mantis. Strange, scary folk. Four arms. Like their elves raw.
They have poisonous bites, psionics, and they can jump like grasshoppers. They don't sleep, but their lifespan is only 30 years. They prefer double-bladed lightsabers polearms, and make three-sided Xena-style boomerang throwy-things by mixing their venom with plant sap until it hardens. They've also gone through a few different body configurations over the years, starting out as basically praying mantises with hands and moving towards a slightly more humanoid bent in recent editions, showing once again that 4E is for newfag "everything must be humane and human-like otherwise i might be scared to play" no-beards. Seriously, in AD&D-times they had abdomens and looked cool and scary and shit; now they're just humans with big beady eyes, 4 arms and a set of mandibles.
First showed up in AD&D in Monster Manual II, and became a playable character race in the Dark Sun Revised edition. They later popped up in Forgotten Realms and Spelljammer and... Christ, somebody call an exterminator: We got bugs everywhere. Thri-kreen are the darlings of powergamers everywhere, as four arms means four weapons means all sorts of crazy builds focused on massive, nigh-unusable numbers of attacks each turn. It turns out four arms doesn't help with spellcasting at all, so they're actually not such a huge deal.
They're a favourite when some drawfag offers to sketch some erotica for /tg/, and wants to squick us out instead. Well, except for those corrupted by Slaanesh.
