The long history between bothrioc and the two myr species is recorded universally by the latter and is thus biased. What can be understood to be true is that bothrioc have enjoyed a sort of mixed fascination and revulsion from the myr, as evidenced by their twin nicknames of “Egg-Giver” and “Egg-Beast.” In fact, most tales the myrs tell of bothrioc are twinned with one variant favoring them and another casting them down. Gold myr tell of a beautiful queen who came to be enthralled of a bothrioc lover. In one telling, the bothrioc became her consort and inseminated the queen via her ovipositor, and also gave the queen eggs to build a sizable bothrioc family at the palace in addition to the royal family. In another telling, the bothrioc was in fact of the dominatrix subspecies, and stole the queen away to the deeper caverns where she simply became another pet in the harem. Both tellings are uncharacteristic of bothrioc behavior as they neither form families nor do they kidnap their harems, generally. What this and dozens of other tales tell the anthropologist is that bothrioc have always participated in history alongside the myr, whether as slaves, merchants, prostitutes, generals or royalty.
