Unlike many dragon species, Mottled Dragons have two unusual qualities. The first is that they have fur. The fur is usually colored white to a deep blue. Secondly, they lack scales but instead have thick hides, like those of many mammals. Besides being able to run on foot at about a flat rate of 110 KPH, they can fly at around the same rate.
Swimming is also excellent.
This is due to some traits picked up with the Cosmic Dragons that their race was spawned from. The smallest on record was Elandor, who, at 3943 years, was only 181 miles long, and Regat Cherub, the largest on record, was a truly gargantuan 749 miles long at age 6483. The genetic makeup of Mottled Dragons has baffled the few Earth naturalists that they have met. Technically, the creatures show up as nothing but a big amount of oxygen and nitrogen, although they are obviously living. Seems it turns out that their blood is actually a mix of liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen, and their inner body temperature is about a hundred and ninety degrees below zero.
