The Court of Ether breeds bloodseekers to enormous sizes to serve as cavalry mounts for their non-winged warriors. These bloodseekers serve as capable mounts—at least until they detect the scent of blood. Decades ago, the Court of Ether bred bloodseekers as show animals, thinking them adorably ugly. Generations later, the insects have become giantic. Visitors to the Court are impressed by how the bloodseekers to hover in place, fly through hoops, and only drink the blood of specific creatures.
