The Dhragolon feel overwhelmed by them, so they take precautions trying to avoid getting on their bad side. But despite being allies, the Dhragolon would actively seek out flaws in the Karnasaurs tech in order to be prepared for a war if something goes wrong between the two. It's a natural trait most if not all Dhragolon have which traces back to primal times.

During that time, Dhragolon were frequently faced with predators that were far stronger than they were. Because the Dhragolon could not easily replenish their numbers, this made them incredibly cautious and fearful of death. But despite this possibility, they still saught ways to defeat their opponents as they were stubborn enough to not accept a life of submission. Of course, their society has evolved since then, but that's where their crusader-like traits stem from.
