Draco-morphiad

Draco-Morphiads (Draco is used interchangeably) are a species native to Draconia/Elgava-C. (The name differs whether you ask a Draco-Morphiad or an Elgavan) A warm, humid planet, primarily covered in jungles, but has several other biomes.

## Anatomy & Physiology

Draco-Morphiads are an anthropomorphic species, appearing like anthropomorphic cats. Draco-Morphiads tend towards coat colors that can be seen on real cats, but can be any color. The same does not apply to patterns. Draco-Morphiads can have any pattern without any particular leaning. Other than this, there is no average Draco-Morphiad appearance.

Instead of organs, Draco-Morphiads have a cavity in their bodies full of pure magic, reaching up to where their brain would be. Draco teeth are a solidified extension of their magic core. Dracos do not have bones, but what they have in their limbs instead is unknown. The elemental mutation of the pictured Draco-Morphiad are solely decorative and not based on any preexisting structures.

Draco-Morphiads are also completely sexless, leading to clothing being completely optional in their society.

Draco-Morphiads naturally live for tens of thousands of years.

They're also short, being only four feet tall on average.

### Element

Most Draco-Morphiads control an element, which manifests on their body as their eye color and elemental mutation.

Elemental mutations are a part of a Draco-Morphiad's body that's either been modified with their element, or added on and made from their element.

Plague elements are the most influenced by their element, often having elemental mutations like hypodermic needles for fingers and a face that looks like a plague doctor mask.

Void elements control Void, a concentrated everything-ness unique to their universe. It was named for its pitch black color, a result of it being every color at once. There have only been two recorded void elements, but one was completely composed of void while the other simply had void-black fur.

Strings elements are Dracos that control quantum strings. They have been proven to be possible, but none have yet been recorded.

There do exist Draco-Morphiads without an element, referred to as "no-elements". Rather than elemental mutations, no-elements have parts of themselves that are reptilian in appearance. A no-element's fur/scales are always mostly, if not completely, grey. In Draco-Morphiads, no-elements take up about 1.7% of the population, about as much as intersex people in humans.

#### Pronouns

### Disabilities & Diseases

Elemental Rot: A disease of unknown cause that eats away at a Draco's flesh slowly, but still faster than it can heal. In response, the Draco-Morphiad's magic replaces it with their element. This slowly turns the sufferer of the disease into an elemental. Unfortunately, plague and fire elements afflicted with this are highly dangerous to other Dracos, and are shipped off to quarantine planets as soon as it's discovered. Despite this, family members are allowed to visit. visitors are kept inside the transportation ship, using a similar method of communication to prison visitations.

Crystalized Magic: A disability that can occur in earth and gemstone elements in which their magic is crystalized instead of a liquid. this leads to slow movement, difficulty processing information, unusually jagged and numerous teeth (resembling the spikes of a geode) and hypoactive reflexes.

Gaseous Magic: A disability that can happen in air elements in which their magic is a gas. This can lead to quicker movement, hyperactive reflexes, a lack of teeth, and ADHD-like symptoms.

Iron Poisoning: Iron sucks up magic. Draco-Morphiads have evolved to vomit up their magic core as a response to iron in said core, essentially preventing their core from being sucked up and killing them by killing themselves in a different way.

## Society & Culture

Draco-Morphiads have an intergalactic empire.

The most popular pet among Draco-Morphiads are cat-sized crabs. Due to being short, they've also domesticated several animals for the purposes of riding them.

## History

The Draco-Morphiad empire was founded by the Master of Void, the first recorded void element. Everything was uneventful for a few million years, until the rise of Monarch Willower, who was a horrible tyrant. Before Willower, the Draconian language was completely signed by hand.

For some reason, Emperor Willower decided that saen was going to completely transition the language to spoken. over the course of a few months, Willower created a spoken analog of the Draconian language. When saen was done, saen gave the Draco-morphiad population as much time as it had taken for trah to create spoken draconian to learn and transition to it. Anyone caught using signed Draconian after the deadline would be executed.

Soon after on the grave of the Master of Void, a new void element arose. Heir to the Master of Void was named Nixie.

Along with four others, trah played the first game of Spurrb to hit Draconia. Most inhabitants of the planet were evacuated, not including Monarch Willower. Trahs heir, a much kinder Draco-Morphiad, took the throne afterwards.

It took a generation or two, but the Draco-Morphiads returned to Draconia. They quickly rebuilt, and things slowly went back to normal.

Millions of years later, another game of Spurrb was played. This time, the whole royal family was wiped out. The Draco-Morphiads were at war with another empire at the time, and this critical loss of command lead to the downfall of the empire.

## Naming Conventions

Draco-Morphiads have no set naming conventions, and thus can be named just about anything.

## Trivia

The exiles from the original Spurrb session survived until the return of the Draco-Morphiads. They remain in custody of the royal family until the second Spurrb session, at which point they would once again serve as exiles.

The two games of Spurrb were actually two parts of the same game, akin to the canon post-scratch session.

Being sexless, Draco-Morphiads cannot be anything other than asexual. however, all Draco-Morphiads have a romantic orientation they would be if they knew what gender was. Most are pan, but not all.
