When the Kaorti see it necessary to guard themselves more directly than merely secure prisoners for their own means, they are known to more carefully pick their thralls, drilling and shaping them using more advanced magics in order to make a more suitable fighting force. They then outfit them with mystically-enhanced weapons - since these guards are usually sequestered in the Kaortis cysts, they take advantage of the peculiar energies and geometries held therein to cut corners and grant them weapons that only function inside the cyst, but when used there they can be very effective - stunning or withering their foes to great effect. If the Kaorti were more interested in more straightforward tactics, these thralls show what they could be capable of, thankfully they hide in the shadows and plot in the depths, for now. Instinct: To protect

• Mystically subdue an opponent
• Mutate to gain a supernatural ability
• Ring a bell to summon reinforcements

These rat-like dragon-kin prefer to strike from range using special alchemical ammunition to hamper their foes by setting them on fire, gluing them in place, and many other nasty little surprises. To make matters worse, spotting one of these little slingers is just an indication more kobolds are nearby - and if more are near than a mighty dragon may not be far. Instinct: To serve dragons

• Sling Alchemical bullet
• Lay a Trap
• Call on dragons or draconic allies
