Physical Appearance
Due to NT-0438's abilities, it is hard to identify its true appearance. Early descriptions confirm that it is about the size of an average SeaWing with a draconic build. Its scales are translucent, allowing its organs and skeletal structure to be visible. It has a SeaWing's glowscales which would pulsate in regular, short intervals unless the experiment purposely changed the timing due to a stimulus. These glowscales covered the front of its four legs and its back and sides. Its colour has never been truly identified due to its translucent scales, although the glowscales were reported to have changed colour. It is said to have a SandWing-like frill, a thin, crocodilian tail with jutting spikes on the side, four bat-shaped wings and a Pantalan head shape.
It has multiple glamours and often shifts through different appearances. It often chooses to appear ghost-like. Its ghost glamour is tall and translucent, with a blue body and a yellow glow. Its eyes have white and black spirals and its wing membranes are a moving pattern of black and yellow.
Its blood is deep blue and its ID collar is often invisible. 
Behaviour
NT-0438 appears calm and reserved, although it will mesmerise any perceived threat that approaches it and flee. It is reserved yet social, often displaying pessimistic behaviour when isolated. It is calm among non-threatening creatures and appears content when it is paid attention. It will not demand attention, but will rather wait patiently until someone notices it. It can efficiently perceive and correctly respond to social cues, displaying different personas to certain dragons. It responds negatively to rejection and will often find a small area and act on negative emotions, such as crying.
It can last a short period of time by itself, often sketching indecipherable objects or interacting with objects in a playful manner, but will eventually cease its actions and express sadness and boredom. It may shift through glamours during these periods of inactivity, modifying existing ones and creating new ones. It shows signs of excitement when provided a stimulus that indicates the presence of another being, often trying to search for the other dragon. 
When threatened, NT-0438 will use its illusionary abilities to distract the threat and proceed to retreat. The illusions it provides vary greatly, from NT-0438 appearing to disappear to a 'glimpse into another world', as some have said after being exposed to an illusion. It hasn't yet tried to physically fight another dragon, preferring to intimidate or flee.

Historical Records
Hatching
1/9/5118
Subject NT-0438 has hatched at 4:00am, 1/9/5118. Its appearance differs from expectations. Its draconic form and glowscales were expected, but its scales are translucent and there are large spikes going down its sides. Due to its modifications, its translucency and curious wings have been marked as Benign, although the spikes may pose a minor hazard should the experiment choose to camouflage them. 
NT-0438, being a Moderate Risk, hatched alone under the supervision of Re. Ebonyclaw. The hatching went smoothly.
It has passed its Preliminary Tests in health, behaviour formation, modification formation and intelligence. These were held from 6:00am to 1:00pm, 1/9/5118. The results are as followed:
Health
Physical: 🟢🟢🟢⚪⚪
Mental: 🟢🟢🟢🟢⚪
Emotional: 🟢🟢🟢🟢⚪
Intelligence
Logical: 🟢🟢🟢⚪⚪
Kinaesthetic: 🟢🟢⚪⚪⚪
Linguistic: 🟢🟢🟢⚪⚪
Social: 🟢🟢🟢🟢⚪
Behavioural Expectations: Friendly, social and unobtrusive.
Modification Development: Shows moderate control over modified ability. Is at expected level of control. The ability seems targeted and cannot affect multiple dragons at once.

1st-5th Years
1/9/5123
The developmental years for NT-0438 have been a success. It is capable of daily and modified functioning. It has an agreeable personality and does not negatively interfere with researchers or other experiments. It proves a challenge to test, however, due to its illusionary abilities. It has once tried to evade testing, although disciplinary methods has prevented that behaviour.
It has used its abilities to change its appearance on multiple occasions and prefers the appearance of a tall, ghost-like dragon of unidentifiable tribe. It is proven to be intelligent, having solved multiple problems and faced issues that require higher order thinking to overcome. It mostly displays its intelligence when around other dragons; it can memorise dragons and their reputations and will react to them in accordance. Despite its different appearances and displayed personalities, NT-0438 has proven to be social, submissive and calm in most situations.
When isolated for an hour or more, it shows signs of sadness and will often converse with itself. It is possible that during these times, it uses its illusions on itself to make it see another dragon to ward off loneliness. This behaviour may need to be negated through teaching, although there are currently no options in doing so. It shows excitement when it receives a sign that another being is nearby and will be disappointed if no dragon appears. If there are negatively-associated activities that must be performed, it is best to isolate NT-0438 as it will be more compliant.
When startled, it will instinctively flee and will 'mesmerise' the threat to distract it. Test volunteers have described a wide array of illusions. Many include an apparent change in NT-0438's appearance and a displayed behaviour different from its true behaviour. Some reported symptoms of nausea and sight impairment. Yet others have been shown imaginary worldscapes.
NT-0438 may be suitable for civilisation in other circumstances. It shows a large memory retention, has good social and communication skills and can function as a normal dragon for some time. However, it is a genetic experiment and any possible outside contact must be planned and supervised.
It has developed positive relationships with some researchers and many experiments, excluding the fiercest, least social subjects. However, it has maintained a positive relationship with RW-1092; an extremely antisocial experiment. Its hostility did not greatly affect NT-0438, who possibly considered it safe due to its small size. It and its group developed identities together, with NT-0438 naming itself "Miyst". This name shall be ignored. It responded negatively to RW-1092's release.
NT-0438 has passed its Developmental Tests in health, intelligence and modification effects. These were held from 6:30am to 12:30pm, 1/9/5123. The results were as followed:
Health
Physical: 🟢🟢🟢⚪⚪
Mental: 🟢🟢🟢🟢⚪
Emotional: 🟢🟢🟢🟢⚪
Intelligence
Logical: 🟢🟢🟢🟢⚪
Kinaesthetic: 🟢🟢⚪⚪⚪
Linguistic: 🟢🟢🟢🟢⚪
Social: 🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢
Modification Effects: Refuses to show true form. Can affect one or two beings at once. Does not visibly use ability in normal social circumstances. Is at expected level of control.
