Acid Immunity

Mindstream Communication

The ability to communicate with all other xenodragons in existence.

Resin Secretion

The ability to produce a hard, glossy resin that can be used as a building material, mostly for hives and cocoons.

Telepathy

The ability to communicate mind-to-mind.

Wall-Climbing

The ability to climb and stick to any surface with ease.

Shacka is fierce, distrustful, and completely selfish. She travels with her brother Emal only because their motives are so similar, but she'd abandon him in a heartbeat if it would ever serve her better than staying with him. She is an incredible actor, a seductive evil, and loves cajoling people into doing what she wants, before forcing them into it with claw and fang.

When her last home was overrun by pureblood xenodragons, rather than find a place at the bottom of the growing infestation's pecking order, she and Emal played the part of freethinking rebels and escorted a family of refugees -- and just that one, mind you -- to an evacuation point in order to secure safe egress for themselves. Neither one of them is particularly invested in their new role as members of the Nidus garrison, but at least it means they get to remain independent from a xenodragon queen's rule.

...not that they still don't side-eye Zexenophit on occasion.
