Newly returning to the world of Myrithica, much information about the dragons is still unknown. Records will be updated as new information is gathered.
Abilities:
Bonding- at birth dragons will form a bond with an individual. However this bond is not necessary, nor is it permanent. Should the dragon
be abused or find there bond wanting they can sever the bond and leave to ether live on there own or join a flight.
Breath weapons- these can vary to an unbelievable degree. From fog to fire a dragon�s breath weapon can take on any number of forms.
Though it is known that there weapon is usually linked to the dragon�s element of magic. There own or join a wild flight.
Communication- even though incapable of verbal communication they can mind speak with whomever they wish, not just with there
bonds. Some breeds of dragons are more verbal then others, where some choose to communicate only with there bonds.
But all are capable of understanding speech. They are not limited to languages, many times there bonds need them as
translators when traveling to other worlds.
Flight- though not seen in recorded history, some legends speak of groups of dragons traveling the skies. To see one was considered good
luck. However, with the number of dragons existing today, such a sight is impossible. It is confirmed to have the ability to fly.
Intelligence- Considered very intelligent, it has been compared only to there curiosity, which some are annoyingly so, they spend much of
there life searching out knew things. And they never tire of learning.
Teleportation- All dragons are able to teleport to anywhere in Myrithica. They are also able to create there own portals to other worlds.
However, to do so the dragon requires a clear picture of where and when it needs to go. In many dimensions time moves
differently and a person can end up centuries from when they want to be. Also, unless told where to go, they will end up
popping out in a random location in any place in any world in any time. The portals are not permanent, but they can remain
open for as long as the dragon wishes.
Breeds:
Common:
Water - They are very calm and it takes quite a bit to make them lose there heads. They like living near streams and lakes. Oceans are
also fine, but they usually prefer calmer waters. They're small compared to the others, but won�t let themselves be intimidated.
However, they are also smart enough to run from a battle they can't win.
Earth - This breed is usually clam. They are the most territorial of the breeds, and have been known to even attack Space dragons in
defense of it. They like living in mountainous regions, but are content to live in deciduous forests. (FYI. think Red woods.)
Forest - These are the most common of the dragons and the most likely to be pushed around. They don't usually have a personal territory,
but will sometimes live in a group with others protecting a shared area, or will live with another stronger dragon. However, do to
their low status in the dragon hierarchy they consider their bondmate that much more important, and are easily the most
protective.
Side Note- it isn't unusual for Forests and Lightning to group together into a mixed group.
Fire - fairly violent they like living near volcanoes, or near geothermic hot springs. They're large for dragons but don't have the patience to
lead anything. Mostly they just like staying relaxed and cooling their heels as long as they are somewhere warm and by themselves.
Having a nice pile of gold never hurt though. Due to their violent temperament when in a populated area keep them in close
proximity and don't let them out of your site.
Lightning - hyper active and childish, they are seen like a younger brother or sister to all the dragon breeds. They are accepted, or at least
tolerated, by all other dragons, but their curiosity tends to cause trouble, so it�s a good idea to keep an eye on them.
Uncommon:
Space - fairly small, they have a nose for trouble. They commonly live in the dark, almost lifeless void that surrounds Myrithica.
Storm - they are neutral dragons. Usually preferring to stay out of matters that are of little concern to them (meaning almost everything).
About the only thing that can arouse any reaction from them is when doing something that directly affects them. Such as doing
something to their bondmate or trying to take their treasure, which is something they like to have a few pieces of laying around.
Plain - with somewhat fiery tempers they also have a curiosity. This makes them unpredictable and dangerous. They like open spaces,
which is actually the safest place for them, and they usually live in tropical regions where the weather is warm.
Flower- exotic as far as dragons go; they like living in southern forests where the weather is warm and the forests support an array of
color. They are the smallest of the dragons, but have a large amount of forest magic that makes them formidable. Their wings are
highly prized do to there array of color and how they are formed. Unlike the others, their wings are made of layers of small scales,
as opposed to a thin membrane.
Sky - very calm and clear thinking; they are given respect by most other dragons and their word is often heeded. Even though they don't
officially take leadership roles, they are often looked to by other dragons and even their bonds at times. Only their bonds know of
their magic.
Physical differences:
Claws- though most are pretty similar, a few exceptions have been found. Poisoned claws, Retractable claws, and added dew claws.
Heads- there is no definition for this; they can have spikes, fins, hair, feathers, and/or horns. And they range in many shapes and sizes.
Size- serpentine like, there length greatly out distances there height. The largest in recorded history was Salmnet, one of the first dragons,
though her exact measurements are unknown. There sizes do range from color to color, but they�re size is not limited by this. Some
greens have been known to reach the size of a brown or even a red.
General dimensions- Height: Ranges from 8 to 12 meters tall. Not including the wings.
Length: Ranges from 24 to 39 meters long
Tails- From fins to spikes, a dragon�s tail can have almost anything attached to the end or nothing at all. Known additions are fins, a
stinger(s), feathers, spikes, and open-shut claw.
Wings- though most are made of thick membranes, a few alternatives have been discovered. Scales, mostly found in Flower dragons,
Added feathers, though they don't make up most of the wing some dragons have been born with feathers attached to the end of
the membrane and front of the wing.
Reproduction:
Breeding- these dragons reach sexual maturity at about 5 years of age. At that time they will seek out a mate. A dragons sexuality usually
matches that of there bond. If you have a flirty bond you will have a flirty dragon. Wild dragons were thought to tend to mate
for life. But sense there haven't been any in the last few thousand years this information could be wrong. Unlike many dragons
from other worlds, they don't mate in flight. Flying may occur during courting, wont take place during actual mating. Waters
(obviously), Flowers, and Sky's are thought to breed in water, but this has yet to be proven.
Clutching- For a dragon to clutch is a rare occasion, and usually clutches only contain between 5 to 10 eggs. There mother incubates them
in a lair of her own choosing or making over a course of several months. When they hatch, they are close to helpless and it
used to be the mother would stay to protect them for another few months. Now that is no longer fully necessary however a
mother may still try to follow her natural instincts when the time comes for them to hatch. At which time her bond may be
required to jump in and calm her. The father role is simple, stay to hunt and bring his mate food, for she will refuse to leave the
nest for any reason until they hatch.
