Compared to the Filaments, the dragons possessed a wide variety of abilities, which meant they all tasted different when consumed.
The Filaments were indeed weaker individually, but their sheer numbers and numerous passive abilities more than compensated, truly a case of an ant colony overwhelming an elephant.
Furthermore, the Filaments were similar to species like the Undead or the Insect Race, which excelled at rapidly spawning units and could quickly replicate themselves to reproduce.
When the Filaments consumed a member of the Dragon Race, they could convert at least ninety-nine percent of its energy into self-replication.
While this didn't mean their numbers grew with every fight, it was enough to maintain their population at a stable level.
As a result, their overall numbers appeared unchanged, while the Dragon Race, in stark contrast, suffered devastating losses.
Additionally, despite their vast numbers, individual Filaments were minuscule unless they aggregated.
