Drove of the Database-Compiling Dromedaries
The Drove of the Database-Compiling Dromedaries was one of the Strangely-Colored Secret Societies of the Prime Universe.
The sentient dromedaries that made it up were genetically engineered by Professor Scarper for the malevolent organisation known as the First Horde, using an experimental mutagen which turned ordinary animals into strange creatures loyal to the Horde. Serving as a proof-of-concept, the dromedaries were put to work by the Horde as the caretakers of their central database. Eventually, however, the Horde decided they could not justify the expense of the database or indeed Scarper's experiments, and laid all of them off, wiping their minds of any knowledge of the Horde. The Drove continued maintaining the database, however, as it was all they knew, reorganising themselves into the self-contained organisation that was the “Drove”. They would go on to figure out their true origins themselves by cross-referencing the files in their care. (PROSE: The Strangely-Colored Secret Societies)
