Dragon

Quite similar to the creatures of lore, Dragons are still alive and well in Atherion today, though their behavior is significantly different.
=== Classification ===
*Sentient Nonhuman
*Flying Reptilian
=== Threat Ranking ===
B to S+
=== Appearance ===
=== Abilities ===
Most of the species are capable of flight, and many have access to a "breath" attack, though not all. The most common type of breath attack is fire, fueled by a flammable substance (varying from gas to liquid depending on the type) that is ignited by a sparkstone in their mouths, similar to the Grimm Templar's attack, though typically less powerful.
Dragons are entirely capable of cognizant thought and conversation, though how their voice is projected is a matter of some debate, as their mouths and throats are not shaped to produce the sounds. Quite likely it is a feat performed using their massive amounts of Aura, though most of them seem incapable of using it to defend themselves, and rely instead on their tough scales and physical strength.
The creatures are also possessed of impressive physical regeneration rates, thanks to their massive amounts of Aura that (usually) remains otherwise untapped.
==== Strengths ====
Being fast, strong, and frequently airborne, Dragons are a force of nature rarely matched by any save the Phoenixes or Gunships. Added to their airborne agility and ability to strategize, a single dragon could easily take out a full flight of like-sized airships without taking much damage.
==== Weaknesses ====
Though quite agile in the air, the large size of dragons makes them weak against siege-style weaponry such as mortars and RPGs, large rail guns, and increasingly less common ballistae when on the ground. Flak in the air can tear their wings, forcing them to land until they regenerate. 
=== Combat ===
Most will use hit-and-run tactics from the air, though their styles my differ greatly between individuals, just as with other races.
=== Notes ===
Like their fiery counterpart, the Phoenix, Dragons are fully sentient and intelligent, and therefore capable of being shape-shifted into humanoid form - they cannot do so without outside help, however.
