These dragons have four legs, and two wings. They have smooth leathery skin without scales. These dragons eyes are compound and faceted like a fly's that can change color depending on the mood of the dragon. They have telepathic abilities with other dragons, and their rider. Pernese drahons can also teleport into "between", which is a void, to escape danger. Gold and green dragons are female. Bronze, brown and blue are male. They can breath fire by first swollowing a certain type of flammable rock known as firestone.
The colonists of Pern (A world created from stories by Anne McCaffrey) genetically engineered these huge dragons from their small cousins, Firelizards. Pernese dragons and their riders have a life-long relationship, this is started at the impression. This is when the dragon hatches and chooses their human partner. If the human partner dies without the dragon, the dragon will go between permanently. If the dragon dies, the human usually wastes away until they pass on. |
