## Community

Bone-scouter community was divided in 5 casts: Drones, Warriors, Greater drones, Praetorians and Lords. Drones were the one responsible of the colonie's maintenance. There generally were hundreds and hundreds of Drones. Warriors were responsible of protecting the colony. Though less than the drones, there still was a considerable amount of Warriors. Greater drones were the ones in charge of giving out task for the Drones, aswell as giving battle plans to the Warriors. There were only a few dozen Greater drones per colony. Praetorians were the royal guards, and could order pretty much anything from the Drones, Warriors and Higher drones. There were only 6 Praetorians per colony. Lords were the leaders of the colony. There were only two per colony, two adults and sometimes their children.

## Faith

The bone scouters believed in Ouroboros, the snake dragoness, godess of time, and believed she gave their ancestors the gift of pain, a powerfull mutation that was found in some of their offsprings, which was manifested by cyan or red markings on the scales of the dragon. They also believed that they were the only true dragons, and that all of the other species were but cattle.

## Physiology

Bone-scouters are cave dwelling, very thin but surprisingly strong species of dragon. Their sharp tail club could be used as a blunt or piercing weapon, and their sickle like claws could cut through most scales. Though, where the bone-scouters truly shined were their aquatic abilities

### Colors and Patterns

Their colours ranged ranged from deep purple, to dark blue and even to white in some cases. There wings had an intricate pattern, almost like waves and their spikes were black most of the time, their claws and teeth on the other hand looked like they were made of ivory. Their horns were black with purple scales at the base.

### Abilities

**"Shadow breath"**

Bone-scouters were notorious for their shadow breath, an extremly compact, thick and hot burst of fog, wich they could use as defense, by blinding their foes. Whilst usefull outside of water

**"Gift of pain"**

Some hatchlings also had the "gift of pain" wich was an energy redestrebution mechanism, in which the dragon could absorb some kind of energy, and use it to empower itself(ex: heal faster, stronger hits, etc...) or its shadow breath(turning it into a burst of purple flames).

**Aquatic abilities**

### Lairs

The only known location where Bone-scouters were once living were their colonies, some of which are still standing.

### Behavior

The bone-scouters were a very xenophobic species in general, and were extremly agressive to anyone and everyone. The lords and Higher drones produced pheromones that controlled the warriors, though contrary to the praetorians which were gifted the same pheromone producing, the warriors couldn't produce any pheromones.

### Diet

They ate anything from meat to bones. They also were know for eating their prey alive, and devouring other's species hatchlings.
