Grubs are the foodbreed dragons. They are bred on Slate strictly as food for dragons, as there is no other food source on Slate. In appearance, they are similar to large manatees, with skin ranging from gray to white. They have little intelligence, although they are capable of conscious thought and rudamentary speech.

Grubs are bred in hive-like chambers beneath the surface of Slate and are cared for by the nursemaid class of dragon heirarchy--female moth dragons whose psionic powers never developed enough for them to be allowed entrance into the exclusive order known among dragons as the Clan.

• They are non-ambulatory.
• They do not have wings.
• They are warm-blooded.
• Grubs’ only nourishment comes from a bile-like substance known as dragon’s milk, which is nursed between them.
  • Dragon's milk is often harvested by the ruling class dragons to be fermented into alcohol.
  • The concoction is not exactly poisonous to humans, but the few humans who have tasted it report that it is immensely intoxicating and even hallucinogenic.
