=====Pack Mentality=====
The Scavenger's biology shows a strange dimorphism between the average recovered body and that of the commander. In addition to being larger and possessing a deeper tone on average in their language, the commander also possesses a series of highly complex pheromone glands, while the others posses an equally complex series of receptors. It seems that when in the vicinity of a pack leader, the smaller Scavengers use these scents to aid or give nuance to commands and orders in combat, allowing them to function in a more unified way without relying on a true hive mind, essentially functioning in a middle ground between a networked intelligence, and a collection of individuals. The lesser Scavengers show an absolute willingness to die to defend the leader, and it is unclear if this is some social creed, a drilled discipline, or the function of the pack mentality, but no matter the cause the combat effectiveness of the individual Scavenger increases dramatically when in the presence of a commander.
