Dragons

Dragons are a creature type encompassing a wide variety of magical creatures. Dragons can be further categorized into 'true' dragons and 'lesser' dragons. A young dragon, of any type, is called a wyrmling. 
== True Dragons ==
The term 'true dragons' refers to draconic creatures who are sentient, capable of shapeshifting, and grow more powerful as they age.

== Lesser Dragons ==
Lesser dragons are dragons that look similar to true dragons, and may utilize a natural defense similar to a breath weapon, but are not sentient and are incapable of communication. Lesser dragons are theorized to have shorter lifespans than true dragons, and are considerably more vulnerable to damage. Arcanobiologists believe that lesser dragons evolved to mimic the looks of true dragons as a survival technique. They have been found in both chromatic and metallic varieties, but may be capable of mimicking gem dragons as well. Their breath weapons are not summoned magically like those of true dragons, but instead are produced by specialized organs typically located in the soft palate.
