=== Behavior and Society ===
<blockquote>
Sydian society is patriarchal, with groups of ten to one hundred led by a dominant male. Larger size, thicker armor, and weaker corrosives cause male sydians to rely on and respect brute strength, giving rise to a culture underlaid with terrible violence. Most do not hesitate to resort to force to obtain food, breeding rights, and positions of power, resulting in a semi-stable group dynamic frequently interrupted by internal and external challenges. The leading sydian has absolute primacy in matters of females, food, and, when found in settlements, housing and governance. Some subject males willingly take positions of servitude, looking after children or performing manual labor; other males are forced into such positions. Younger sydians, especially powerful males, may eschew the group, striking out to join or attract a new clan. All males court mates from among the group’s females and establish relationships, though the leader’s ability to claim rights on any female at any time usually prevents monogamous coupling. Cuckolding is commonplace, especially toward subject males who have challenged the dominant male and lost. Vengeful leaders sometimes assign a rival as the personal slave of a favored female; while intended as humiliation, this has lead to the clandestine rape or seduction of the female in many observed cases.
