Predatory

Social structure behaving as a chaotic, parasitic swarm, descending on weaker settlements to feed on destruction, resource raiding, and primal violence.

The thrill of primal survival against a chaotic, parasitic swarm that consumes everything in its path, where civilization is a fragile thing easily devoured by overwhelming, destructive force.
