Species: Draco homarus nigreos

The “Black Lobster Dragon”

Common Name: Shadow of the Red Sea

Notes: The Red Sea is a large basin of water tainted red by the algae and chemicals that thrive within it. This water is poisonous to most aquatic species, so the species unaffected eventually evolved into a completely unique ecosystem to spawn from the demonic waters. One such species would be the Black Lobster Dragon, a giant crustacean-like beast that lurks in the basin’s depths. It is said to be the most feared sea dragon to emerge from the Red Sea.

Species: Draco aqua esperite

The “Water Ghost” Dragon

Common Name: The Elusive Glowtail Serpent

Notes: The Glowtail Serpent is an elusive species that calls the darkest depths of the ocean its home. It retains a bioluminescence in its tail that withers away the skin from its body, giving it a ghostly figure. The levels of magic this species may hold is unknown, as no living specimen has ever been taken captive to study at length.

The “Laser Earth Dragon”

Species: Draco draco luceat

Common name: Common Shimmering Drake

Notes: This small species of dragon is born with metallic skin that shines like glitter. It grows no larger than the size of a cat, and it’s only defense in the wild is its poisonous blood. It’s glittering body acts as a warning to any predators who might claim its life. It is easily domesticated and thus a common first dragon for rookie keepers.

The Dracorot Virus

D-Rot is a deadly plague that affects many dragons. When most species of the Draco family contract it, their scales and skin start to rot away, leaving a necrotic scar in its place. It is possible to treat and cure the disease if the afflicted dragon is in the hands of a capable keeper. Those in the wild aren’t so lucky, more often than not enduring a slow and painful death.

Species: Draco mechanis aurem

The “Golden Mechanoid Dragon”

Common name: The Clanking Gold Sniffer

Notes: The mechanis genus of dragons is a unique breed, as they are entirely man made. The Gold Sniffer is among the first mechanoid dragons created, with the intent of locating gold with ease. They were also among the first mechanoids to gain sentience, a phenomenon still being studied today. Thanks to new laws, a mechanoid that gains sentience is to be freed into the wild. Wild Gold Sniffers live in caves and build their dens from the gold they are compelled to search for.

Species: Draco behemoth celeste

The “Sun Dragon King”

Common name: Crested Sun Titan

Notes: Not much is known of behemoth dragons. No other creature has reached their size, and they are said to have lived for millennia. The Sun Titan is one of the more well known behemoths, as it tends to proudly march among the dragon continent, displaying its fiery core for all to see. The rays of destruction that this dragon can cast could level mountains.

I’m doing a new prompt list! Dragons bby~

Species: Draco ignis crassus

The “Fat Fire Dragon”

Common Name: Fire Maned Lobber

Notes: This species secretes a flammable fatty mucus from various pores in its skin containing the same chemical properties as napalm gel. It has a diet of metal and fatty animals, and thus it tends to make its home in the base of mountains, sometimes near civilization. A Maned Lobber’s nest is very volatile, as it is built up with the hardened mucus that the creature secretes, which catches easy and is very sticky and difficult to extinguish. Lobber mucus has many practical uses in prolonged heating, fat lamps, and weaponry. The species is typically partially blind, due to fat secreting from its tear ducts.
