The Caraguard is a subspecies of the Broodguard which is often found within large hives in forests. Instead of scales, most of their legs are covered in grey chitin, and the same goes for their arms and neck. They have a pair of thin wings which they can use while constructing around the hive and when hunting for men.

As with most hive mamono, they all follow a Queen. Caraguard Queens are know for the larger wing size, greater chest size, and the ability to release incredibly strong pheromones. It is said that these pheromones can drive a man to the edge of release if he were to be close to the Queen releasing them.

Life for the average Caraguard involves serving the Queen and attending to her every need, along with working on expansions to the hive. Should the Queen be husbandless, they will tirelessly search for a man worthy to be her husband. Upon finding such a man they will first try convincing him through diplomacy, and should that fail they'll use force, dragging him all the way to their Queen's bedroom.

Should the Queen be married they'll instead search for a man for themselves,gathering into parties to hunt them down, either getting a man for each member of the group or one for them all to share. After each day of working they'll return to their husband and be as diligent in pleasing him as they are in working.

These mamono seem to have some manner of rivalry with Portaguards, which stems from the fact that Caraguards used to hunt the diminutive lizardmen in the era of the former Demon Lord.
