Scavenger dens are reportedly common in Pyrrhia, but only two are labeled on the map. In Darkstalker (Legends), there is only one den labeled in the map. In The Dark Secret, there were seven eliminated dens on a map in the NightWing's throne room, as well as one mentioned in the Prologue by Umber saying he scented one in the forests while escaping an Icewing attack. Scavenger dens are villages, castles, or houses where the scavengers live.

Scavenger

Scavenger

There is one from the west in the Mud Kingdom, and another in the east. One is found in the outer islands of the Kingdom of the Sea, another in a peninsula below the Kingdom of Sand, and another in the Ice Kingdom.

Scavenger dens often house the treasure that their residents have stolen from dragons. Many dragons, IceWings in particular, often destroy the dens for spite or in search of treasure.

In The Brightest Night, Sunny finds a deserted scavenger den with two scavengers in it: Holler and Fluffy. The scavenger den had buildings, bells, and statues. It had been destroyed by Smolder, Burn and others while searching for the stolen SandWing treasure. Sunny also hears a noise underground near Jade Mountain and thinks it may be some kind of den for large animals, but it might be an underground scavenger den. Since it is near the scavenger den Queen Oasis' attackers went to, it may be where all of the survivors went, and continue to live.

In Winter Turning, Winter and company find a greatly fortified scavenger den armed with a spear launching device. It used the side of the mountain as a cover, and has very large walls.

Mentioned Scavenger Dens

• In Assassin, Deathbringer and Quickstrike fly over a scavenger-sized castle, and Deathbringer comments that he didn't know they could build castles, To which Quickstrike replies: "I'm sure they can't. They probably just found it". But Deathbringer asks his mother why it was scavenger size and kept on thinking about it.
