THE UNDEFEATED
Bryn'adûl | Dredge
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
The Dredge were originally found in one of the larger asteroids that came from the planet Draemidus Prime when it was destroyed so long ago. The Dredge were harvested from their original habitats on the asteroid and moved into facilities on Draemidus Prime were they were allowed to co-inhabit the upper-level tunnels with Draeyde and Servitors alike.
The Dredge grow more difficult to control and maintain as they are taught and trained. The Dredge are intelligent, loyal and fierce creatures but respond poorly to poor treatment. They are ferocious when it comes to outsiders and take on tactics and plans of their own sometimes, typically improving upon whatever directives are given to them with their own bestial instinct.

- Intelligent: Dredge are creatures that can act with almost full autonomy, able to carve out tunnels for Bryn'adûl infantry or hunt and stalk particular groups of enemies. Dredge know when to retreat and can recognise what will pose the greatest threat to them, retreating underground to plan a flank or various other tactics.
- Excellent Hearing: Spending most of their time underground, Dredge have developed incredible hearing - able to sense even the lightest shifts of vibration through the earth. They hunt by following the vibrations through the ground.
- Distinct Smell: Dredge can essentially smell energy and foreign metals, having learnt to track for their dietary needs. Dredge can sniff out alien technology or equipment.
- Fast Tunnelling: The Dredge can use their massive claws to tunnel underground fast enough to outpace some small vehicles.
- Tough Claws: The front massive claws of a Dredge can be used for offence and defence, these front claws can create a shield that protects the front of the Dredge. These eight ribbed claws are incredibly sturdy. These claws provide great defence against acids, fire, kinetics and blasters. However, can be chipped away at by saber strikes and high-grade explosives such as permacrete.
- Alone: Whilst Dredge typically hunts in groups of two or three, they are all usually a great physical distance from one and other. Hunting Dredge usually rely on their long-range hearing to know to head to their hunting partners however this can take long enough to take a Dredge down.

- General behaviour: Dredge are very territorial creatures, however are very adaptive to 'learned behaviours' and can be utilised as vicious and efficient ambushers and hunters. Overtime their general behaviours have become more timid as they've grown accustomed to tamed life. The Bryn'adûl have essentially domesticated the Dredge and thusly dependent on how they have grown, they develop different behaviours. However, all Dredge are vicious and incredibly deadly to out-siders and prey.
