Dragon
Aggressive. Powerful. Arrogant. Majestic combination of power and grace. Regarded as gods, mostly by themselves.
History
Ancient kin of modern dragons were the very first living species to enter the Material Realm. Their power and skill formed the turbulent land and sea to their liking. Since then, they have clung to the tradition of claiming as much authority as they can.
Their control over the land dwindled slowly over the centuries since the forming of the Material Realm, due largely to their own laziness rather than loss of strength. Until the rampant growth of other species spurred them into action, causing the First Crisis. A bloody war that costs many lives of both Dragon and Human alike, as well as the other species dragged into the conflict. Many of the eldest Dragons were killed in the war, though scant few remain in remote edges of the world.
Culture
Dragons are prone to gathering minions in a similar manner to most Demon lords. However, their power structure is much flatter and more stable than the hierarchical system used by the Demons. A single Dragon will give commands within their horde, which consists mostly of Kobolds and smaller Dragons. They also keep closer to Dragons of their own elemental affinity, quickly mistrusting Dragons of other elements.
When Dragons integrate with other species, they often try to seek out positions of power and influence. Few Dragons of size greater than a Human or Elf will dwell in other species' cities. Choosing rather to live out in the world, preferably in a place rich with elemental energy.
Physicality
Scaled hide with rich colors associated with their elemental attunement. Thick tails, sharp fangs, and dexterous paws capable of manipulating objects as effectively as hands. Wide, reptilian heads at the end of long, flexible necks. From their heads, they cast a striking gaze with their narrow, reptilian pupils.
Common Names
Dragon often use names that begin with a strong sound such as Vilneer, Xirx, Qyell, or Thanariah.
Physical Heritage
Dragon blood often causes narrow pupils, scales, or coloration associated with their Dragon element.
