Torden

Clockwork Hornet, Type: Sandsurge

Clockwork Hornets, what are they?

This unusual variant has been spotted primarily Charged Barrens, where they can often be seen patrolling the highly charged sands. Like other Clockwork dragons, one will notice they are unusually cool to the touch, and a faint clicking can be heard as they move. Hornets have been know to have the forms of Ridgebacks, Wildclaws, Mirrors, and on rare occasions, Gaolers and Aberrations.

What sets them apart from the other variants is their size and aggression. It is theorized the Hornets are acting as a defensive force of some sort. While they will not actively seek out nomads who have the sense or good fortune to give them a wide breadth, those who have drawn too close have been met with active hostility. Curiously, this aggression is only seen while the Clockwork is in the Barrens.

They are noted for their segmented form, glass-like wings, and fluid-filled capsule making up their underbellies. They seem to be able to work tirelessly, so long as the capsule is full. What the fluid is, however is unknown.

For those whom have managed to coax a Clockwork Hornet from Barrens will find their clan rewarded with a new member that is both a fierce protector and ferocious fighter.
