Racial Traits
The Hivemind: All Cast have highly attuned receptors for receiving instructions via pheromones enabling a vast communications array capable of communicating complex instructions spanning miles.
Genetic Fluidity: As a race they are highly adaptive. When introduced to a new or hostile environment it will not take long for the swarm to either adapt, find or create a way to overcome the danger.
In addition to their adaptable bodies they possess the ability to assimilate desired traits from the things they consume, changing themselves on the genetic level to possess the desired traits.

Lore & Behavior
The Worker Cast are the backbone of the swarm and the Cast race. They are the tireless laborers that erect massive colonies, their genetic template is the foundation for many Cast Tools and living structures.
These listed are mutation variants of the Worker Drones:
These creatures are designed to carry the Cast Plague and turn other creatures into infested.
Genetic Transport: The carriers can fill their venom sack with the Cast Plague. If they sting a creature not of the swarm, the creature will become infested by the plague and eventually become an infested creature of the swarm.
The Larva are small creatures, similar in appearance to a caterpillar with a slimy armored hide.
The Larva are able to form Chrysalis and are the base form of all the creatures that make up the Cast race.
With the appropriate pheromonal que they can become Workers, Warriors, Leviathans, Behemoths and ultimately the dreaded Warlord or Advisor Cast if the need arises!
They are also able turn into the various living Cast Tools that the Swarm relies upon.
They are the first stage of nearly every swarm creature with nearly limitless potential.

They are amazing architects, able to build massive hive constructs that are strong, beautiful and structurally sound.
They are large horse sized swarming creatures that work together to build the hive cities of the Cast.
