Drobam Mantlebeard

Drobam Mantlebeard Colocktan is a dalmer biologist. She is noted for her research into non carbon life forms, most notably on the study of the reproduction of such creatures.
== Early life ==
After service, Mantlebeard dedicated herself to the study of non carbon life forms, after she encountered Loamfops during her service. Following her studies, her Universalis degree was on the digestive cycle of the Loamfop. 
== Career ==
=== Magithan period ===
Mantlebeards career began in the study of non carbonic lifeforms in the Caladan region of Magith, specifically in the Salvas mountain range. Her studies were commissioned by laboratories from Talenmunt as well as the Eddick Mining company. her work helped understand the lifestyle of the Loamfop, as well as hel in identifying their migration patterns and tunneling habits from the Salvas to the Valyr mountain ranges. During this tie she also studied ridgebergs and helped in creating the Silicate based lifeforms evolution shrub along with geologist Aolim Stonebrew Shattre. 
=== Reproduction period ===
Following her extensive research period and independent expeditions in the Valyr and Salvas mountain ranges, Mantlebeard dedicated herself to helping the reconstruction efforts of the west magith rock salt quarries which were invaded by a previously unknown species of insect, the rock salt pest. After this she returned to the study of the reproduction of Loamfops, Ridgebergs and later on the limits between carbon and silicate based lifeforms. 
Mantlebeard was noted for her constant teetering in between the fields of geology and biology, and finally became a co disciplinarian when she published possibly her most famous work, on the limits of reproduction, an exploration of the boundary of interbreeding between carbon and silicate based lifeforms. This was her last theoretical publication before she turned to researching the practical applications of her studies and publishing teaching formats and programs.

== Discoveries ==
Mantlebeard is credited with the discovery of the Rock salt pest, an insect that feeds on rock salt, causing construction hazards when it infects the building material.
