Biography
Subspecies: Honeycutter
Overview
A subspecies of Wildclaw originating from the Wispwillow Grove. This subspecies appears to be the result of Environmental Evolution. Perhaps many years ago a family of Wildclaws settled in the Wispwillow Grove and their young was produced accordingly to the land. While the Grove can be attributed to their unique features these dragons do not typically remain in the Shadow domain. Instead preferring domains such as Nature, Plague, Earth and Arcane. Despite the fact that these domains are heavily preferred by the Honeycutters, the subspecies can still be found across all of Sornieth.
Clan life
Honeycutter's typically live within groups of their own family. Their clans consists of a breeding pair that also doubles as the clans leaders, and their children who act as the workers. The breeding pair direct their children into completing goals and overall expanding and defending their territory. While mainly harmless these dragons chose to partake in trade and even welcome travelers into their home, sometimes allowing a select few to live among them.
The breeding pair can be challenged by any of their children. If the challenger is defeated yet left alive they are to immediately leave the clan. However, if the challenger succeeds the breeding pair will step down and continue to live within the clan as workers.
Very rarely does a Honeycutter leave it's family clan. Upon leaving they may choose to begin one of their own Honeycutter family, or join a mixed clan. Typically when joining a mixed clan a Honeycutter will look for well structured clans with a strong leader and clear goal in mind.
Characteristics
This subspecies appears to come in a limited variety of colors. While their base color remains the same, variation can be found mainly in the wings. Many appear to have clear translucent wings while others have a tinted orange colors to theirs. Another striking feature this species has is their clump like scales (Opal) upon their body. These scales typically range in a light brown or a light orange. From a distance these scales appear to be a sticky substance stuck upon the Honeycutter's body. Due to this and their color variations many associate their look to honey bees, hence their species name.
Honeycutter's appear to have more energy than their cousin the Wildclaw. They are able to cover more distance and their stamina almost appears to have no limit. With this limitless energy Honeycutter's need lots of enrichment. Often when a Honeycutter joins a mixed clan they will carry with them a device they can fiddle with while they are standing idle. Whereas in a Honeycutter clan they will always have a goal to achieve.
Also, unlike their cousins Honeycutter's have developed the astounding ability to eat both meat and plant life. Typically Honeycutter clans will choose to consume plant life over meat. It is a rare occurrence to see a Honeycutter clan live off of meat.
Species Behavior
Only the breeding pair in any Honeycutter clan are permitted to produce offspring. Rarely does it happen in which a dragon other than the breeding pair produces eggs. In situations such as these the breeding pair may choose either to kick the offending dragon out of their clan and raise the egg(s) as their own. They may also choose to destroy the egg(s) and allow the family member to remain. Potentially they may also kick both the offending member and egg(s) out of the clan. In extreme cases it has been observed for the breeding pair to destroy both the offending member and the egg(s).
Honeycutter's can produce up to 20 eggs a year, typically producing 3-6 eggs per nest. As for the nests of their choice, Honeycutter's will prepare a nest spun with that regions organic material. They make their nests in the center of their clans residence and create twisting and confusing channels to hide their eggs within. Once the outline of the nest is complete the entire clan will begin pouring their magic into the walls, hardening it. They take great care to ensure no light can seep into the nest. This nesting behavior is believed to be utilized to mimic the Shadow domain.
Once the eggs have hatched they will spend their first few months with their parents before being assigned to a family member. This family member is entrusted with developing the hatchlings vocabulary, flying and battle skills. As soon as the hatchlings have perfected these abilities they are then given a role within the clan. Usually roles are assigned based on physical appearance. For example a larger Honeycutter would become a warrior whereas a smaller Honeycutter would become a forager or craftsmen.
Battle
When the time for battle arises these dragons have developed a special communication system amongst themselves. While engaged in combat they have developed a hand symbol language allowing them to strategize on the fly. Thus, giving them a direct advantage over unsuspecting foes.
Honeycutter's often choose to surround their victims and close in on them. Cutting off any chance of escape while also limiting their opponents movements. Once the enemy is enclosed and escape is no longer an option the Honeycutter's will strike together delivering a devastating blow.
