Species: Draco aqua coquere

The “Boiling Water Dragon”

Common Name: Fried Blood Leech

Notes: The blood leech lives in the boiling hot depths of the Red Sea. The algae within the water cakes onto its back and starts to cook, giving the blood leech a deep fried appearance as well as a replenishable farm of nutrients on its back. Detoxified fried blood leech algae is one of the most rare and expensive dishes on the market, and only the most masterful keepers can hope to capitalize on that market by venturing into the Red Sea.

HOT DAMN I DID IT

Species: Draco behemoth fames

The Hungering Flesh

Notes: The continent on which this creature lives on is completely uninhabitable. Even dragons, creatures known for their adaptability refuse to go there. It is because this behemoth, of which only its mouth has ever been seen, does nothing but devour the landscape in its path. The continent of the Flesh is devoid of life and in complete rubble.

Species: Draco leviathan zaratan

The Island Titan

Notes: This leviathan is unique for being a formidable living dragon habitat. Although it swims outrageously slow, its impenetrable shell makes it impossible to disrupt, allowing vegetation and an ecosystem to cultivate on the Island Titan’s shell. It is a remarkable example of Draco-symbiosis at its finest.

Species: Draco pygmy caeruleum

The “Blue Pygmy Wyrm”

Common Name: The Blueberry Squirm

Notes: Pygmy dragons are one the smallest breed of dragons, liking to feed on small fruits and berries. Swarms of these wyrms can be found desecrating a fruit harvest, ruining wines and other fruit products. Giving them a designated area for them feed should protect your farms, however.

Species: Draco aqua kappa

The “Water Kappa Dragon”

Common Name: Headless Swamp Kappa

Notes: This dragon was born with the unusual trait of having an exposed cavity on the top of his head, its brain exposed, oozing a viscous ooze. Do not approach it. This dragon is aggressive towards humans, being known to actively restrain its prey and drown them alive. If you find yourself a target of the Kappa, go for the head.

Species: Draco terra panthera

The “Earth Panther Dragon”

Common Name: The Lumbering Stalker

Notes: As a close relative of the Shadow Walker Drake, the Lumbering Stalker is an invisible predator of the night. It’s movements are slow and precise, and you never know when it will strike until you are already dead. It is no easy task to spot a Stalker in the night, especially with their antisocial tendencies to isolation.

Species: Draco leviathan luxo

The Rainbow Leviathan

Notes: This spectre illuminates the deep with its radiant colors, often being referred to as the aurora of the deep. It is still unclear whether this leviathan is actually made of light or just has I powerful draconic aura.

Species: Draco apidae bombus

The “Bumblebee Dragon”

Common name: Bumbling Floaters

Notes: Like bees, Floaters are a honey producing hive species of dragon. Unlike bees, they get their nutrients from salt mines rather than sweet nectar, leading to dragon honey acquiring a particularly salty taste. Dragon honey is a common ingredient in many savory meals, whether it be for seasoning, soups, or garnishes. It is quite expensive however as Floater hives are difficult to find without tracking down a stray Floater that made its way to the surface. Experienced keepers may have dragon honey on the market depending on the season.
