Niche: Scavenger
Planet of origin: Gorphor

Description: The caravan is a hive mind made up of two organisms. The queen and the hivelings. The queen is a large carnivore with a large mouth hole where the hivelings drop scavenged food. it also has large holes in its back that are entrances to the hiveling colony inside of him. The hiveling is smaller winged specimen and with a small pointy spike at the end of their body. The queens job is to give birth to new hivelings and to work as a living hive. While the hivelings job is to look for corpses that they can take left over meat from and bring to the queen. The queen is mostly hollow as the tunnels and sleeping quarters of the hivelings take a lot of space. When birthing the queen usually gives birth to at least 20 hivelings and to at most one other queen witch is almost twice as large as the new born hivelings. From there the queen starts its own colony.  Fun fact: In winter the queen eats all of the hivelings so it can survive through the harsh cold.
