Drakoni

Drakoni are a dragon shifter species. Drakoni characters appear in the Icehome series, the Fireblood Dragons series and in Prison Planet Barbarian series.

## Description

Drakoni are a telepathic species who can speak to each other with their minds whether they’re in human form or battle form. When a drakoni male chooses a mate, he’s able to link his mind with her by giving her his fires; or his venom, through a bite to the neck while having sex and can only give his fires once in his life. Their gestation periods is four months long whether it’s a purebred mating or a hybrid mating and age almost exactly the same as a human. When a drakoni or a drakoni hybrid is born, he or she will telepathically tell the parents their name.

### Human Form

Shifting to battle form for a drakoni only takes a second In their human form, drakoni can stand over six feet tall and have powerfully muscular forms. Males have golden scale patterned skin while females have a reddish golden hue. Drakoni have no body hair except for on top of their heads which is the same color as their skin. They have four small horns located on their heads like a crown and the backs of their arms and legs have sharp spikes.

A drakoni’s eyes can shift colors based on their moods. When calm or in the mood, their eyes shine pure gold without pupils. When angered, their eyes change to pure black. When agitated, their eyes swirl between black and gold.

They possess five clawed fingers and toes, fanged teeth and a an acutely strong sense of smell

### Dragon Form

In dragon form or battle form males are large and golden. They have heads the size of cars and wings the size of sails. Drakoni battle forms a larger than private jet planes and are covered in bullet proof scales. They walk on all fours and can cover long distances on foot.

They’re able to fly over many miles without tiring and can sour for hours. They possess sharp talons and fangs longer than a human arm and can breathe fire

In battle form, females are smaller and red, but are no less dangerous than the males.

## Culture

The Drakoni come from a planet with vast, scorching red deserts and high mountains. They live in caves that line the mountains and have more primitive lifestyles. They're incredibly territorial and solitary beings who share no interest in community outside of mating's, their families or war ally’s. When a female shows interest in a male, she challenges him to battle her for the rights to mate her. The two shift into battle form and they fight each other without doing any real harm to the opponents. If the male wins, they shift back to their human form and begin mating. The male will penetrate the female from behind. If he doesn’t feel the female is his true mate, he pulls out without sharing his fires; rejecting her as a potential mate. If he feels like she is his true mate, he gives her his fires through his bite; linking their minds forever, and then finishes the mating without pulling out. Drakoni matings are for life and both parents raise their offspring together. The females; like lioness’s, are the ones who hunt for their families and mates

As a shape shifting race, drakoni have no need for clothing; with the exception of the salorians, since clothing would be destroyed during transformations and the fact that they have no problems with hot or cold weather due to their naturally hot body temperatures and their tough exteriors.
