Their biggest defining trait is that each swordwing is absolutely ''obsessed'' with collecting something... although just what that is varies from individual to individual. One may collect swords, another may collect recipe books, yet another may collect human hearts, the crowns of kings, the heads of beautiful maidens... you never really know what a given swordwing wants. And that's what makes them dangerous - they are maniacally focused on their one singular obsession, and care about nothing else... although they may be coaxed into trade on occasion.

	Socially, swordwings live in a quasi-eusocial caste system; immature specimens ("cutters") on the bottom, followed by mature specimens ("drones"), followed by specialist swordwings ("slashers" and "shapers"). Above these sit the "crownwings"; a larger, more powerful variant who basically serve as subordinate leaders, underneath a singular "Queen", who leads a given swordwing hive in reverence of the [[Far Realm]] entity Dhogostho-Attu, violently adjudicates disputes between crownwings, and uses its pheromone abilities to induce fertility in its minions. Swordwings reproduce by gaining approval from their queen, who washes them with a chemical substance that activates their reproductive organs. The swordwing then takes a humanoid victim hostage and injects an egg into their guts, where it consumes them from the inside out and ultimately subsumes their body to become a new "cutter" swordwing.
