Oh god there's so many words I'm SORRY I just really like fleshing out species and even so most of this feels so dumb and far fetched ahahaha QuQ just figured I'd share what I thought up for these guys. By all means! These are just a suggestion for what might be fun and you don't need to follow these if you don't want to, but it might answer a few questions!

Stardashers, like the rest of the stardragon family, all have life gems, which are brimming with huge amounts of energy/magic which the starshooters hunt them for. If a stardragons' life gem is destroyed or stolen, they will die. Likewise, when a stardragon dies, their gems fade as the magic fades from them.

Stardashers have some major gender differences, but they are very much equal to each other, since they both have very big weaknesses and have to work to protect one another. Male stardashers only have one true life gem, the rest being psuedo gems that contain no magic but are meant to throw off predators. Female stardashers, however, have multiple life gems, which their magic/life force is spread between equally. This makes them one of the only stardragons that can survive when a life gem is stolen or destroyed. However, they're essentially losing a chunk of their life/soul whatever when this happens. So they become weaker, and in many cases, less sane.

Male dashers have a floating gem held above their head by very powerful magic. It's near impossible to separate it from their body, and takes an immense amount of skillfully wielded magic to do so, but if it happens, the dasher becomes listless, sedate, and even obedient and zombie like until the gem is returned. If the gem is destroyed, regardless of where it is, they will die.

Dashers are a very social race, preferring the company of others and banding together in tribes. They're governed usually by a council of elders, or a chief, who can be either male or female. Many of them seclude themselves in forested areas to hide from shooters, and take shelter in tree houses. Forest dwelling dashers usually have smaller hooves. There are some tribes that are nomadic and dwell in deserts. These dashers usually have the stocker hooves (as to not sink into the sand) but there's not a lot of places to hide in the desert, so they move often.

They're much less technologically advanced than Starshooters, but they're still fairly intelligent. Much of what they wear/use is hand made either by themselves or someone in their tribe.
