Dragon Classes

As with any living being, dragons need classification to help sort them. There are hundreds of dragons, so not every dragon in a class fits perfectly in that class. There are ten classes, Pyro, Geo, Aqua, Terror, Oddball, Ferro, Chloro, Duo, Broadwing, and Legendary.

**Pyro** For a dragon to be Pyro Class, said dragon needs to be large (10-15ft in height, 50-70ft length), they also need to be bulky or have a muscular frame. The third criteria, which probably earned Pyro Class its name, is that the dragons in this class breathe white-hot-fire.

**Geo** Members of the Geo Class are rock-eaters, often referred to as Geovores, and resemble rocks. While it is not necessary for a dragon to be Geo class, a lot of those species of dragon live in caves or rocky environments, such as beaches with basalt columns. Geo Class dragons are not known for their intelligence, which is not to say they are absolutely moronic, but compared to Legendary or even Duo Class dragons, they're pretty slow-witted. As Geo Class dragons consume rocks, their bodies get very hot and melt that rock or ore into essentially lava, which their young typically feed on.

**Aqua** Aqua Class dragons are found in areas with bodies of water. They're either fully aquatic or amphibious. It's more often the latter. Aqua Class Dragons have prominent aquatic features and adaptations, such as fins, gills, tentacles, lures, and many more. Aqua Class Dragons are very speedy, especially in water.

**Terror** Terror Class dragons are not as terrifying as they may seem, although, yes, they are all carnivores and, yes, they hunt. That does not mean they are ruthless savages. In fact, most Terror Class dragons are intelligent and are capable of compassion or empathy. Terror Class dragons are nocturnal, as nighttime is the prime time to capture or devour prey. They also have prominent teeth, claws, stingers, shells or other defensive or offensive biological adaptations.

**Oddball** These are definitely the weirdest of the dragon classes. These dragons don't fit cleanly into any other class, which is why they're called Oddballs. Oddball dragons are very stealthy and good at sneaking around. This leads to poorly understood biology and how these dragons actually work.

**Ferro** Ferro Class dragons are the gold and silver of the dragon world, literally! These dragons are metallic, but don't try to steal from their valuable bodies because as the old saying goes, "Don't try to mine an Aurowing, unless you're using that gold to craft yourself an arm." Ferro Class dragons are also known for their incredible speed, being able to run at least 65 MPH for the slowest ones, and 350 MPH for the fastest. Ferro Class dragons are often covered in spines, and while getting a face full of porcupine quills can ruin your day, getting a face full of Ferro Class Dragon quills is a surefire way to ensure your family some inheritance. But, Ferro Class dragons are typically good-natured unless provoked, athough they are quite confident and prideful of their glimmering scales.

**Chloro** Chloro Class dragons are usually fairly docile. They live in areas with dense foliage, such as jungles, like in Hawaii, a health nut's kitchen. Chloro Class dragons are herbivores, because even though they are absolute tanks of creatures, they do not eat any prey that they might accidentally flatten. Chloro Class dragons resemble the plant life that they live around, maybe for camouflage.

**Duo** Duo Class dragons are one of the more basic classes of dragons, reserved for multi-headed ones. These dragons are also fairly intelligent, understanding human language, but not being able to speak it. They are also adept at interpreting emotional cues. The old saying may be true, "Two heads are better than one," but a dozen might just rival Einstein.

**Broadwing** Broadwing Class dragons are known for their large wings, almost larger than their whole body at times. Broadwing dragons live high in the sky. They usually form their nests on tall mountain peaks. Broadwing Class dragons are also incredibly fast, along with being very caring and maternal.

**Legendary** These dragons are typically only the subject of myths and legends, but, it has been proven that some exist. The criteria for being a Legendary Class dragon are: being very very large, about 100-400 ft in height, and 2000ft-1 mile in length, and that they are very intelligent. They're very rare, only enough existing to keep surviving.
