Originally tamed and bred by Thrii-kreen, Domestic Kruthik, sometimes called ant-dogs, are a "tamed" variant of the wild and hive-minded Kruthik. Two breeds are prevalent for Kruthiks; Battleborn (seen above) and hide-grown, a Breed made for their supernaturally strong keratin exoskeletons. Battleborn kruthiks are bred for hunting, tracking and battle. Because of their keen sense of smell and incredible intelligence, they are often sent as scouts in deserts.
