Cypha Drones

The Cypha Drone is a highly intelligent race of insects native to the planet Cypherius. They are enemies with the non-sentient Cypherian Wyvern, an ancient enemy of their race.

History
The Cypha Drones began as simple hive insects in the tropical forests of Cypherius. They are preyed on by the Cypherian Wyverns, and to deal with this enemy, the Cypha Drones began to develop basic intelligence. They managed to evade their predators with this new found intelligence, and because they were now able to evolve and adapt even more, they began developing greater and greater intelligence until they achieved sapience.

Lifestyle
They live in hives together, and have a very advanced system of relaying information and sharing food (more complex than that of bees, ants, or termites). They divide their colony into casts, each cast doing a different job. There are hunters, warriors, queen's-maids (females who assist the queen) nursery-maids (females who care for the young) and the single queen.
