The Anti-claw troll tribe are a group of trolls who originate from a hostile and baren island in Skylands. An island that happens to be home to some of the most dangerous creatures in Skylands. Chompy Worms, Sand Serpents, and of course outlaw and maniacal dragons. That's the Anti-claw specialty: hunting down the dragons. If it weren't for these trolls, the dragons would overpopulate the island and spread across all of Skylands.

They began as a colony of trolls who wished to control the dragons on this island. When that plan failed, the colony was left behind by the other trolls in a last ditch effort. However, they had enough supplies left to build what would become one of Skylands's greatest warships: The Dark Dragonslayer. The ship was large enough to carry the whole of the tribe, as well as being powerful enough to take on a whole group of dragons at once. It was fitted with the best weapons of its time. For ages, many people feared the Dark Dragonslayer and it's creators. Until the Age of the Arkeans came, when the magical robots destroyed everything that even remotely seemed stronger then them. Including the Dark Dragonslayer. It was believed to be completely destroyed.

Since then, the Anti-claws have been living a primitive life. Though they can leave and return to their island via large bird-like ships, they can't get very much supplies back to their village, built inside a hollowed out mountain on the island. They say it took decades for them to carve out the inside to where it is today. They aren't technologically advanced like most other trolls. They are more advanced in the ways of survival however, thanks to their life in such a baren land. They are willing to work with other trolls for assistance, but only if they have good reason to. Guess you could say they still haven't gotten over being left for dead all those ages ago.

Jagged is the current chief of the Anti-claws. His family have been in charge of the Anti-claws for the longest time now. One day, while Jagged was searching for some plants that could be a possible food source for the Anti-claws, he came across a tortured dragon in its early teenage years. He took the dragon back to his home, where the dragon grew in strength and power. He raised the dragon like his own son. The dragon even preformed abilities that no known dragon had ever preformed. It was said to be a side effect of being in the Underworld, Malfor's kingdom of darkness. It was because of Malfor's torturing this dragon that caused the dragon to grow rage filled and vengeance hungry. Thinking that all dragons were like Malfor, this dragon now plans to eradicate all dragons from Skylands as payback for the pain he has felt.

If you haven't figured it out yet, this dragon's name is Scorpius.

This has been the first installment of Author's Insight. If you wish, a separate book can be made for other subjects such as this, as well as other inquiries about the lore of my imagination.

Also guys, I could seriously use some feedback with whether or not I should publish that Legend of Zelda fan-fic I mentioned in my Skylanders fan-fic. I know not alot of you know too much about the LoZ franchise, but then again it's things like fan-fics that can become something more. I should know. It was thanks to Ben Drowned that I got into Legend of Zelda, which lead to me being seriously interested in other games and franchises. Now like 80% of the stuff I love is mostly video-game related.

Anyway, @Hans4475 asked for some concepts of the Anti-claws, so I delivered. Hope you enjoyed!🐉
