Bearded Dragons

== Faction ==
The Bearded Dragons are a faction of cursed humanoids. They exhibit traditional vampiric traits and more unusual reptilian traits. The Bearded Dragons are notable for being more of an organization rather than a race in itself, as they were created by a curse.
Their origins can be traced to the Dalmer Elected Kingdom of Anhaendra, where local chapter houses and country lodges belonging to the faction are plentiful. 
== Origins ==
It is theorized that the original bearded dragons were dragon hunters to whom Dragons gave their powers to in exchange for their loyalty in their war against vampires. This turned to be a mixed blessing as the bearded dragons could not stay out in the sun without suffering a painful explosive death from spontaneous combustion.
== Traits ==
Bearded dragons get their name from their reptilian traits and black barbs on the chin which they usually hide underneath their clothes.
Bearded dragons cannot breathe fire like the dragons do, but if they stay out in the sunlight they create the same liquid fire. While in sunlight the liquid fire in their bellies is set ablaze, and they burn in the sun. Despite this enormous handicap, the bearded dragons possess other traits inherited from dragons, bat like wings that provide powered flight, a row of sharp hardened teeth, and the ability to shed skin to retain a youthful appearance.
Their numbers are unknown as is their ability to reproduce. Only females of the species need to drink blood. Males are smaller in size to females and have more lizard like traits.
== Diplomacy ==
Despite these traits and fearsome reputation, bearded dragons are very intelligent and interact with the other races frequently. They have no country to speak of, as their numbers are very reduced and it is unknown if they reproduce. They are often behind plots and conspiracies in larger populations to further their own goals. Their ultimate ambition is to kill off any race they can’t use as cattle. They have genocidal intentions towards dragons who they see as responsible for their curse.

The bearded dragons once caused a volcanic eruption that covered all of Anhaendra to be covered in thick clouds of ash. They did this by sabotaging a Dalmer volcanic steam generator. The objective behind the eruption was to block out the sunlight, to stop dragons from using their fire breath and to allow them to move freely around the lands. However by doing so they allowed free reign to other creatures and gave rise to the Vampire Empire.
