Types[edit]
- The oldest ancestral strains of dragons were eyeless, and worn iron armor. These ancient dragons terrorized kingdoms in times long since forgotten.[2]
- Sea Dragons inhabit the ocean depths. When fighting a dragon, and shield is of utmost importance, as dragons always strike first.[3] Dragons are known for hoarding gold and treasures.[4]
- Lunar Dragons inhabit the dark side of the moon.[5]
- Razorwyrms may also be a type of dragon.
- Pyrexae Dragons are attuned to fire or ice.
- Netherdrakes may or may not be related to dragons.
- Undead Dragons, whose bodies are made of bone and rotting flesh.
- Desert Wyrms, native to the Desert of Misrule.[6]
Body parts[edit]
Many equipment are made from the body parts of dragons.
Through various means, humans can receive dragon blood, mixing it with their own. The best known example is Davion, the Dragon Knight, although he is not the only one. For a few recipients of dragon blood, the magical effects become magnified and distorted, drawing powers from all ancestral dragon strains.[2] Dragon blood can also be used to brew a potent, flaming drink.[7]
A dragon's flameglands exhale fires strong enough to forge new alloys,[8] and possibly dragon-steel.[9] Dragon fire is also used in hardening drinking vessels.[10]
Dragon's saliva is used in alchemy, but needs to be contained with "special alloys", possible due to its corrosive nature.[11]
Dragon's teeth are used in making saws, capable of cutting through armor.[12]
Dragon's claws are used in making hooks.[13]
The spine of a red drake is used to crafting blades.[14]
