"Droned invidual" need only mean something such as controlled, or brainwashed, or hypnotised, or kind of having the will conquered.
Mind controlled in a particular way.

But let me take a hypothetical look further, perhaps into the so-called "reptilian" aspect. If there is anything to it, I suggest this is firstly and foremostly a planned mode, something conceived, rather than any absolute truth. The conception may include numerous methods to bring about the mode, for example, including mind control - pre-programming.

As the satanic type group entity or cult which would be doing that is supposed to be embodied as being kind of "reptilian" itself by some kind of nature, it can be intuitive that those "droned individuals" they control are under, or represent, the "reptilian".

I do understand that a type of character is intended to be represented by the term reptilian. I think, personally, it's deeply unfair to reptiles and that these animal species are used simply because of the fear they can invoke in children (and adults). They aren't cuddly for a start. I don't understand why scales have a relatively bad name myself, but they don't seem to be the most popular kind of animal skin.

Personally I think reptiles are lovely. (Probably, not particularly looking for close encounters though, personally, as with any carnivorous wild animal). Reptiles are typically more shy than many mammals. I cannot see what differentiates them from the planning (cunning if you will) carnivority of dogs in the wild and cute bears to our beloved whales and dolphins, birds, cats and of course, top of the beast food chain, humans.

Humans are the ones who remove whole species lives of natural freedom from them, for food purposes: farming. No other species does anything like that, nothing nearly as possessive, perpetually dominating here or interfering.

It may well be that through a kind of psychic consciousness or spirit inter-dimensionality, certain beings have been seen to change to resemble reptiles. However, I suggest if this kind of psychic consciousness or spirit inter-dimensional shape-shifting is going on, a human might shape-shift into any beast chosen by the controlling spiritual entity.

So, any specifically reptilian appearances may form part of an agenda.

Mind control may also, at times, form a part of seeming shape shifting experiences. So may magic.

This is not principally a material world, and I don't find too much reason to doubt that the laws of everyday physics and even typical biology could easily come fairly low down on the list of actual defining descriptors (or "power").

Anyway, it's a bit of a tangent, an attempted understanding of the so-called reptilian phenomenon.

The main point is that "droned individuals" can simply mean those who no longer are answering to their higher minds, but instead are controlled in whatever ways by an external entity or entitties.
