Draco leviathan sanguis

The Blood Leviathan

Notes: For a time, no one knew how the Red Sea came to be. Like many wondrous dragon habitats, it’s origin does not seem naturally formed, and it’s origin cannot be explored in detail due to the aggressive dragons that inhabit it. Very few airships survive an expedition there, but those who due report that there may possibly be a dormant leviathan hidden within its waters. Like behemoths, leviathans are impossibly ancient and just as mysterious. The Blood Leviathan, as it is deemed, may very well be the origin of the crimson eye that gives the Cyclops continent its namesake.

Species: Draco draco gorilla

The “Gorilla Dragon”

Common Name: The Silverbacked Howler

Notes: This dragon is quite intelligent, similar to its simian relatives. Howlers are not aggressive creatures unless provoked, and can often peacefully coexist nearby villages. Keepers don’t seek this dragon out of respect, for it does not wish to be held captive.

Species: Draco corvus corax

The “Crow Dragon”

Notes: These pests are notoriously good at making a meal out of a farmer’s harvest. They are far more intelligent than they seem, and are known to attack farms precisely when the harvest is ready. They often travel in groups as to protect against threats and make off with a bigger harvest.

Species: Draco draco citra

The “Citrus Dragon”

Common name: The Fanged Juicer

Notes: This little dragon has a taste for Vitamin C. The Juicer sinks it’s fangs into many fruits to get the juices inside, more often than not targeting citrus fruits. Fruit farmers find them irritating pests.

Species: Draco draco gulafamis

The “Gluttonous Drake”

Common name: The Common Nibbler

Notes: The Nibbler is a runt species that are fairly common in forested areas, eating anything they can get their nubby little teeth on, whether that be fallen pinecones or salmon from a nearby river. Keepers are often called to take them into their care from reports of Nibblers stealing crops, garbage, or even pantries. It seems that no matter how much you feed this harmless little dragon, it will always be hungry for more.

Species: Draco behemoth sapphirus

The Sapphire Titan

Notes: This Titan dragon was discovered deep underground, farther down than even most cave dwelling dragons ever dare to go. It resides in a cave of pure blue crystals that glow and reflect off its armor. The Titan itself never moves; it just lies there, kneeling, unburdened by age, sleeping. It is the only behemoth dragon that is safe to approach, only because nothing seems to disturb its slumber.

Species: Draco aqua carpio

The “Carp Dragon”

Common Name: Slickback Serpent

Notes: This not so threatening dragon is a biological wonder. The creature looks completely dysfunctional, yet it splashes about anyways. It is not uncommon to find a Slickback beached on northern shores. Its bodily oils make for good lamps and cooking oil.

Species: Draco espirite mortem

The “Death Spirit Dragon”

Common Name: Silver Necked Reaper

Notes: The Silver Reaper is one of many legends that has plausible credibility based on circumstantial evidence. Theorized to be a dragon made purely of draconic energy, it only makes itself visible to those facing death, particularly in the presence of powerful dragons or draconic arcana. It is believed that this being is a guide for the damned, bringing dragons back from whatever mysterious source they originated from. That, however, is just a theory. Aside from the circumstantial evidence from dying witnesses, there is no definitive proof of the Silver Reaper’s existence.

Draconic Sorcery

This branch of the arcane specializes in the inherent magic that lies dormant- or active, in all dragons. Draconic magic is very chaotic and difficult to master. When it is mastered, however, it is one of the most powerful and potent forms of sorcery at your disposal. Summoning sorcerers that use draconic magic are fearsome foes on the battlefield, along with their towering guardian constructs.

Species: Draco terra lactid

The “Dairy Dragon”

Common name: Milk Rat

Notes: A smaller breed of dragon, the Milk Rat is incredibly common. In the wild it leeches off of the milk of cattle and other mammals. They have also made their homes in cities and villages, where they take a special liking, or rather an addiction, to cheese. It is not uncommon to see your cheese getting swept away by a Milk Rat in your sleep.
