Dragon
A race of creatures created by Geltham as pure personifications of magic. They are one of the most powerful races in existence.
Basic Information
Genetics and Reproduction
Can reproduce after about 200 years.
Growth Rate & Stages
The older the dragon gets, the more powerful it gets, starting nearly defenseless.
Additional Information
Social Structure
Dragons are generally solitary. They sometimes take control of cities, countries, and one once tried to conquer the world. When dragons come into contact, they generally try to be the most powerful entity in the region. Dragons claim regions that can range from a mile radius to a continent. The exception is the Seeker Dragon.
Domestication
Can only be domesticated if they are captured when very young. While young enough, even a weak wizard can capture a dragon, although they will then be hunted by either the parents. If they can survive the initial hunt, the parents will contact every dragon alive, which will then try to hunt the child for at least a year. At the end of this hunt, the dragon can still be saved if a free dragon sees the dragon. That free dragon will then attempt to free the captured dragon and contact every other dragon, restarting the hunt. In order to circumvent this, it is easier to kill the parents, although usually not plausible.
Uses, Products & Exploitation
If captured when very young can be captured and have their magic siphoned. Dragon scales are often very valuable due to their magical properties, although most dragons will try to destroy the owner of scales, even if given freely.
