The color of Crimson or blood red representing aggression or bloodlust
The color black representing a closed heart or closing off one’s emotions
The color white representing a rare state for Warmongers, tranquility and calm

This particular warmonger specimen (Caine Beastia) seems to have gotten friendly with a Valbaran flock humoring them by letting them braid a feather into his hair which he connected his blood to enabling him to change its colors interestingly it seems there are some colors unique to him

Warmongers also see the world a bit differently than we do with their yellow eyes, they are capable of seeing how many people someone has killed, how likely someone is to start a conflict or even see the echoes of a conflict the more recent the conflict has happened the clearer it will be

Due to the fact that they must kill in order to eat most Warmongers become particularly aggressive quickly resorting to violence if applicable in a situation especially when it comes to each other

Particularly successful warmongers can even use their absorbed blood to make an outer body around themselves changing their form some even capable of rivaling turns with these blood forms

Warmongers also typically use their blood to create their own homes typically choosing mountains to remain isolated they use their blood to carve out castles, manors, crypts and the like

Warmongers can also use the blood they absorbed in various ways temporarily sacrificing some of those enhancements to create weapons, armor, or even summons that have the same strength as the owners of their blood,

To make up for the specific requirements of what they can eat Warmongers are able to absorb the physical attributes of whatever they kill through their blood increasing their strength, endurance, speed, and even intellect or potential intellect

especially if they commonly get into scuffles with them and spare them, due to this pattern they most commonly tame draconic species such as wyverns, drakes or even dragons themselves however pack animals are also commonly tamed by them

They have the ability to absorb the blood of those they kill through physical touch capable of completely draining their corpse dry due to the fact Warmongers tend to not have much interest in the corpses afterwards they can inadvertently tame many species

Warmongers are born fragile and weak being prone to injury and sickness they are able to eat like a normal member of their species until they get their first kill in which their diet must consist of the blood of those they kill everything else essentially becoming poison to them
