The Creepy Crawlies of DoD

The world of DoD is as unique and diverse as our own. Dragons aren't the only creatures scurrying about. Here is a introduction to two of the many species of AI planned in the future.

[h3]Thornbacked Crawler[/h3]


Small insect-like creatures, the Thornbacked Crawler can be found almost all over the world. Their diet consists of decaying carcasses and unguarded dragon eggs, making them either a great clean-up crew or a bothersome pest depending on the situation. The main defense of the Thornbacked Crawlers is their formidable thorn-like spines located on their back. However, these small creatures can become a tasty meal for hatchling dragons that learn to overcome this obstacle.

[h3]Bulbous Spined Scrab[/h3]


The Bulbous Spined Scrab got its named from the shape of its abdomen and the poison-filled spines which it can retract at will. Females are over twice the size of their male counter parts which are roughly the size of a dragon’s egg. Curious by nature, Bulbous Spined Scrabs will often study its adversary before deciding its next move. A grand meal for any young dragon, hatchlings must be careful how they approach this creature. The Scrab’s spines follow its target and can easily puncture a hatchling’s skin. If only there was a way to distract it…

These and more unique AI species will be joining the world of DOD starting in 2020. Stay tuned for updates and join our discord for sneak peeks at more custom content.
