The **Dragon** Species was one of the Four top races that resided within the Obelisk that were stated to be equal in power to the Gods,Demons and Giants and once resided within the 98th Floor of the Obelisk alongside.

## Characteristics

### Biology

The Dragon Species were a legendary race of giant winged lizard like beings possessing gigantic physical size and strength. The Dragon Race was characterized by their immensely powerful claws capable of tearing even the hardest things apart, wings capable of granting them flight and immense mobility in the sky despite their size, teeth capable of tearing things apart and scales capable of protecting them from nearly any weapon, skill and magic.

However the Dragon Species were noted to have two organs that was the primary source of their immense power and paramount to maintaining their strength. These would be their **Eyes** and **Hearts**. Their Eyes, also knowns as the **Draconic Eyes** grants them immense vision, allowing them to easily see things from miles away even when they are flying high in the sky and see things to the tiniest detail. When combined with their magic, their eyes allows them to view emotions, negative intentions, positive intentions, mana, magical, spiritual, demonic and possibly even the laws of casualty among the variety of other things normally impossible to detect by the naked eye. It is said that a Dragon's eye has over *81 Irises* within them that grants them their immense eye sight.

The Second organ is the **Dragon Heart**, the main organ within the Dragon's body that generates mana and power within their bodies. The organ itself is said to generate gargantuan amounts of mana within it and is the secret to the Dragon's immense power and the organ that primarily maintains a dragons ability to use magic, skills and other abilities. If ever damaged in some way, the dragon in question would begin to gradually lose it power and they would begin to lose the ability to use magic or skills until the organ is repaired. If ever destroyed, the Dragon completely loses their power and is essentially reduced to nothing more than a glorified gigantic lizard.

### Racial Skills

Due to them being one of the most powerful races, Dragon by default possess several unique skills.

* **Dragon Eyes:** The Dragon Race's Draconic Eyes is known as being one of the most powerful eye based skills in the entire Obelisk. This skills allows dragons to analyze and reveal the abilities, spiritual & physical qualities, skills, traits, magic, minds, movements, personalities, mana and powers of almost any being, allowing Dragons to literally dissect another being, object, skill or spell by simply looking at them. Additionally, the eyes themselves also allows Dragons to analyze and perceive the optical data their eyes observe much faster and quicker, which then allows them to accurately make future scenarios/visions in their minds akin to precognition. The Dragon Eyes themselves also allows them to literally "see" the personalities of a individual. Th Draconic eyes also allows dragons to see the flow of energy around them, allowing them to instantly analyze mana and reverse engineer spells by observing them, the eyes also allows dragons to see the “flaws” within the physical bodies of objects and living beings, allowing them to easily find their weak points.

### Varieties of Dragons

Its been stated that the Dragon species themselves are split up into various categories and varieties of dragons that each had their own unique qualities, characteristics and abilities from each other.

* **Red Dragons:** Dragons that specialize in fire and have a preference for residing within locations with high heat such as volcanoes.
* **Blue Dragons:** Dragons that specialize in water and have a preference for residing within ocean floors, lakes and rivers and other water based locations.
* **Golden Dragons:** Dragons that are stated to prefer to reside within floating islands in the sky.
* **Demonic Dragons:** Dragons that had successfully gained the powers and abilities of both the dragon and demon species. Due to the hostility Dragons typically have for Demons, very few dragons attempt to become a Demonic Dragon despite the immense power available of being one out of pride and those have become one are stated to be scorned by their kin.
* **Mythical Beast Dragons:** As shown from the cases of Cha Yeon-woo and Cha Jeong-woo, the egg hatched and given in the 11th Floor of the Obelisk to create a mythical Beast familiar can also become a dragon depending on its owner. As shown with the birth of Nemesis and Mirne.

### Sub Races

Dragons are also known to have spawned several sub dragon races. Some of which are shown to possess their own unique variety abilities and powers inherited from their original true dragon ancestors. However, unlike actual dragons, it can be noted that one of the key difference between them and true dragons is there lack of sapient intelligence and there were no better than wild beasts.

Due to each of the characteristics of each stage of the fiftieth floor being all different, various types of subdragons are known to thrive according to the traces of their old masters and traits of their magic power.

* **Wyverns:** A sub race of dragons, known to be weaker in comparison to their original dragon ancestors. The "Nine Dragon Sons" of the Summer Queen were stated to have successfully become Wyverns and using a combination of alchemy and magic, can now successfully transform into a new variety of Dragon Species that could possibly evolve into becoming their own unique true dragon race.
* **Flood Dragon:** A subrace of Dragons that resides within the Imugi Forest of the 50th Floor. The Floor Dragon was stated to look like a body and shiny black scales, however as this type of sub dragons had not gained enlightenment and thus had no true intelligence, they are not considered true dragons. Despite this, it has been stated that this type of sub dragon was by no means stupid, these species of subdragons are known for their slyness and violent temper.

#### Dragon Humans

Due to feeling guilty for leading his race into extinction, Kalatus, the final dragon king, successfully devised a method to somehow continue the dragon species even with their race's near extinction. Kalatus successfully created the "Dragon Blood" method, that by infusing the blood of a dragon into a human, that human will be transformed into a human-dragon hybrid, a *Half-Dragon* or *Dragoon Human*, successfully granting them the unique abilities and powers of the dragon race.

Kalatus himself designed stages to the evolution and awakening of a Dragon Human with them having roughly possessing several levels of awakening and once a dragon reaches the final stage to awakening, they can successfully evolve into a new species of dragons.

So far the only ones to have successfully created Dragon Humans are the Ancient Dragon King Kalatus and the Summer Queen
Ismenios.

### Half-Dragons

A rare breed of dragon is the naturally born hybrids, born when a Dragon breeds with another species. So far the only dragon hybrids is Ananta, who was born as the daughter between a Dragon and a Incarnated God.

## History

The Dragon Species like the Gods, Demons and Giants where said to reside within the 98th Floor of the Obelisk within the Tower's early history and considered "*Supernaturalists*" similar to the other three races, but for some reason or incident, they "fell" from the Floor and was banished to the Lower Floors.

Since being placed there and despite losing their original powers, the Dragons managed to become the Obelisk's rulers and controlled the Tower for a time and became recognized by its Players that they were one of the strongest races.

During their time in the Lower Floors, its was stated that their have been at least two Great Wars within the obelisk that the Dragon's participated in.

During the seconds great war knowns as the "**The Second Great Dragon Extermination War**", the dragon species was completely annihilated and rendered near extinct. With the Dragon themselves initiating the war in order to return to the 98th Floors and regain their positions as Supernaturalists and kill One-For-All, who prevented anyone from going any higher than the 77th Floor. The war ended with the defeat of the dragons and their near extermination, where if it was not for the then young Isemnios and Harmonia, who successfully survived the war and escaped, the dragon species would have been considered completely extinct.

By the time of the Top Ten Clan's Reign within the Tower, the Dragon Race had already become near extinct and the surviving members could be counted in one's fingers. And even then, the majority of the "dragons" could no longer be considered "true dragons" any longer. This is seen where the only surviving true dragons were the Summer Queen, Ismenios, the Last Dragon King Kalatus and unknown to the rest of the Tower, Ismenios's Twin Sister, Harmonia.

With the rest of the remaining Dragons being half-dragons at best, and even then the majority were dragon humans artificially created from Kalatus's and Ismenios's blood. With Ananta being the only truly legitimate half-dragon with her being conceived and birthed between a true dragon and a incarnated god.

Other than the dragon humans and the remaining true dragons, there were also the sub-dragon races that roamed the 50th floor.

## Locations

### 50th Floor

After being banished from the 98th Floor of the Obelisk, The Dragons resided within the 50th Floor of the Obelisk.

Due to them having numerus varieties of dragons, the 50th Floor was stated to have been split up into numerous different kinds of terrains to accommodate them. As stated by Yeon-woo, out of all the floors in the Obelisk, the 50th Floor has the most diverse terrains available, with it being stated to have steep mountains, dense jungles and vast seas.
