Guardians

There is only one type of natural residents within the Tunnels of Destiny—crawlers. The Disciples call them the Guardians as beings who live next to their most sacred places. To touch their gods’ Bones or Roots of Life as the Dragsans would call it, is an honor which only a handful of the Disciples were given. They are representatives of the largest, most dominant species. They have guarded and acted as the caretakers of the exceptionally rare crystal, and while some believe that they benefit from being near the crystal, they certainly don't have to exploit it for this purpose. On the contrary, in a sense, their presence is servile. That's precisely why the messengers of Chaos haven't exterminated these creatures. They consider them the sacred guardians of the bones of the chaos god.
These guardians unfortunately can't be used as mounts. Their bodies are covered in slime, allowing them to move quickly. Additionally, their skin is protected by a type of unknown magic that cannot be overcome. These creatures are resistant to all magical forms of interference. They have powerful jaws and dozens of hidden claws on their abdomen, which can extend depending on their needs. On the top of their heads, they have long whiskers that allow them to detect approaching dangers. Sometimes they glow with a dark-green light. This is directly related to being near the crystals of the Roots of Life.
