Dragons

One of the more common natives of Iota dragons are also the more feared. Anyone who manages to kill a dragon is considered the greatest of the greatest of warriors. Their scales are to hard to piece with normal weapons. Their teeth and claws can tear through anything. They can see heat and have the most incredible eye sight, hearing, and sense of smell. Like all 3 of the major native races of Iota their amount of magic energy and skill in all types of magic is unmatched. They even have a natural resistance to magic used against them. They are immune to poison and disease. Their muscles are far denser making them far stronger than they appear and they already appear very strong given their large size.

Should you kill a dragon not only will you be famous and go down in the history books but you will also be able to use the body parts of the dragon you slew. The claws can pierce a dragons scales and the dragons scales can be used as armor. All other body parts can be used for an infinite amount of magical purposes.

Dragons have 3 weaknesses. The first one is their wings. Their wings do not have scales covering them making them very vulnerable to any weapon. Second if one were to tug on the back of their neck hard enough it would cause the dragon to go completely limp. This is a reflex dragons are born with so their mother can easily manage them when they are just a hatchling. None of the common races of Megalo are strong enough to succeed in this. Third is under their jaw which causes relaxation/going limp from the blissful sensations that spot produces. The males tend to growl from the pleasure while the females tend to purr. Doing the opposite is a very embarrassing thing. This is not as strong as the back of neck reflex and can be resisted. Most all dragons are cold blooded preventing them from living in cold places.

Dragons stick to purely family communities. They chose one family member to represent their entire family when the monthly dragon meeting comes up to discuss important matters.

Dragons mate for life when a female and male mate the male bites down on the female leaving a scar AKA mark which means they are taken. Unlike the races of Megalo Dragons kiss by licking each other on head. A lick anywhere but below the chin on the face is like a regular quick kiss a lick under the chin is like a very intimate kiss on the lips. While nudging heads is more like hugging. The females purr in their pleasure while the males growl.

Dragons like the other 2 major natives of Iota live extremely long lives. A new born dragon is considered a hatching until they reach the age of 100 when they are finally considered an adult. Dragons are considered elder when they reach 7,000 years of age. Most dragons do not live past 10,000 years of age.

There are many different type of dragons all varying in size and breath weapon. Some breath fire while others breath ice. Some only grow to be as big as an inn while others grow almost to the size of mountains.

(I don't want to see anyone creating characters more powerful than a dragon as it would be going against the lore of the site. Which shouldn't be a problem since dragons are already near invincible.)

Sub Species: Night Fury


Night Furys are an extremely rare species of dragons. Possibly the smallest of all dragons the largest one ever known was only 10 feet high. They are typicality covered in jet black scales which make them nearly invisible at in the dark. Their wings spans are proportionately far larger than their body. At the base of their tail they have a set of retractable fins which is used to keep them as stable as possible in the air. At the very end of their tail are another set of fins which are used for turning. Their mouths are lined with sharp retractable teeth.

Along with their rarity they have some rather unique traits from other dragons. They are the absolute fastest fliers of all dragons as well as the most agile and are capable of breaking the speed of sound in a dive without the assistance of magic. Their wonders apply to the ground as well as they are incredibly flexible creatures. Night Furys are a fire breathing class of dragons. Like other fire breathing dragons Nigh Furys can breath a continues stream of fire, however they are also capable of of compressing their fire into a highly explosive projectile. The fire is so compressed it takes on a blueish appearance and their explosion is capable of blasting a large ship into ity bity pieces. Night Furys are capable of finding their way around even in pitch black environments where there is no light. They use a silent echo location. Night Furys are also excellent swimmers but obviously not as good as water dragons.

Night Furys only lay one egg a year but this one egg is pretty much guaranteed to survive to adult hood as their parents are overwhelmed with the instinctual desire to protect their baby from everything! Despite this over protectivness Night Furys were on the decline and nearing totally extinction. To combat this nature evolved their bodies in a unique way. First the females became capable of producing offspring with any race. Making them a lot more valuable and the need to keep them safe all the more important. Once the child with mixed blood hits puberty the NightFury DNA kicks into action and begins taking over every cell until the mixed blood child is 70% NightFury. Scales, wings, tail, claws, everything but size and body structure are in that 70* Once they hit that 70% they'll be compelled to eat lots and lots of food. After that they'll be compelled to find someplace safe and enter a deep sleep at which point a giant magical barrier will encompass them. For 2 months their body would begin a dramatic change until they are 100% Night Fury. No trace will left that they had ever been anything otherwise. Sexual excitement and fear accelerate the pace of the changes.
