	Xenonids are predators that stalk, hunt or capture their prey within the darkness, and use them for reproduction in order to ensure the survival and continuation of their species. They typically operate in a hive structure, with a hierarchical organization. The Queen is central to their reproductive process, while drones and other castes serve different functions within the hive, including defense and nurturing of young. There are numerous Xenonid castes in RMC with different skills and attributes.
