Traits

A follower is your average alumy. They hunt, collect and help out other alumies in their hive. Follower alumies control smaller creatures to either help them hunt, collect, or to keep them company.

Preservers are bigger than followers and have horns on their tails. They protect the hive's territory. Unlike followers, they can mind control other alumies (one to two at a time, not much more). They can send followers to safety or command other preservers. They wear their battle scars proudly.

A controller is the leader of their hive. They keep the hive intact with their power to mindcontrol multiple beings, and/or multiple alumies at once. Some controllers are stronger and have bigger hives than other controllers.

No rankers are alumies without any rank. They do not belong to a hive and travel in small groups or on their own. When an alumy has been a no ranker for a while, the next generation is more prone to inherit the "no eyes" trait and only have a controlling one. Like potion makers, they can have any build from other ranks.

Potion makers are alumies that are very sought after by other alumies, and moreoften those who seek to gain power or status. They're able to collect various items that can rank up or change an alumy. They visit hives, but like to live on their own and are often travelling merchants. They have a pendant showcasing that they "earned" this rank.
