Dragon

The Dragon is a species of reptile from the draconian family.

Characteristics
Like other reptiles, Dragons are oviparous. The shell of the eggs has the same colors as the scales of the unborn Dragon.

Dragons are born without wings, but grow wings during their adolescence. They grow bigger as they age and usually die when their size becomes unsustainable.

Dragons have a biology that is rich in silicon and aluminum and require the presence of these elements in their diet to stay healthy. Often, Dragons satisfy their need through the consumption of crystals.

Despite being reptiles, they have a limited capacity to regulate their body temperature, which enables them to live in cold environments as well.

Dragons have a hoarding instinct that compels them to accumulate shiny things, especially crystals, which helps them to maintain a crystal intake when supply is irregular. Incidentally, this instinct also creates a tendency to accumulate precious metals, although these are of no nutritional value for Dragons.

Subdivisions
There are two races of Dragon: Lava Dragons and Sky Dragons.

Lava Dragons live near volcanoes and possess a powerful fire magic.

Sky Dragons, however, live near mountain tops and have powerful cold and lightning magic.

Sky Dragons are often considered to be masters of weather manipulation.

Distribution
Lava Dragons live mostly in the Dragon Lands.

Sky Dragons live mostly in the Kingdom of Heaven.
