Swansong

Swansong is the term used to refer to the Swansong horde, the offspring of Swansong that would rise and battle all the races of Neuro for control of the planet in the Second War of the Ancients.
==History==
Artheemius' most powerful minion, Swansong, was intended to live on should his master fall and wipe out the races of the world, serving as a swansong to the races and ushering in a new age. The first Swansong, referred to as the Alpha would lay thousand of eggs all over Neuro. The Alpha Swansong would be killed by Grimval Laft and even with the three kingdom's best efforts to find and destroy all the eggs before they hatched, five years later on what become known as the Second Awakening, all the eggs would hatch.
The Swansongs numbered in the thousands and quickly were able to overwhelm the three kingdoms. Unlike the Alpha Swansong, these Swansong were not capable of laying eggs, so gradually the kingdoms were able to chip away at their populations. The Swansong horde was lead by the Omega Swansong, the strongest of the offspring who was destined to lead his brothers in battle against Neuro. The Omega Swansong would be killed by the brave Templars of Naturelles and enchanted weapons would be discovered to be the Swansong horde's weakness. For their tough, rocky hides were penetrable by enchanted blades.
Over time, the three kingdoms and the kingdoms of the Ancients Races were able to band together and destroy the Swansong horde.
Unknown to the people of Neuro was the fact that one of the Swansong could indeed birth more of the beast. Unbeknownst to everyone, the Omega Swansong possessed this ability and laid thousand of eggs under the City of Naturelles during his brief assault on the city. When an earthquake struck the region, these Swansong who had been born underground flew to the world above and began yet another conquest.
The people of Neuro managed to drive these fiends off once more, but rather than accept death like their predecessors, this new breed fled. This new breed of Swansong seems to have learned the mistake of their lineage, pride. The current Swansong horde has taken residence in the Valley of the Bones, their birthplace. 
==Physiology==
Like their father, the Swansong horde had thick rocky hides that protected the monsters from all kinds of attacks. The Swansong had wings that allowed them to fly and outmaneuver their opponents. The Swansong horde were capable of breathing fire and shooting balls of concentrated magma out of their mouths. The swansong horde were capable of wielding weapons but hardly found the need to, for their sharp claws ripped through flesh easily.
