Dragons:

## Description:

Dragons are large and covered in scales. They are described to be five times larger than the average Leothra. Dragons have large wings compared to their body size which help them fly longer distances without tiring.

Dragons are divided into 6 different subspecies. When a dragon's type has 'light' in it, that means that they are diurnal; the opposite being with dragons with the prefix of 'dark' instead for their subspecies. Dragons that are nocturnal generally have a spot like area of scales on their temples that glow in the dark and is dominant in dark dragons. There are then three main subspecies of dragons according to where they live-those being water, wood and peak dragons.

Water dragons live along the coast of dragon territory or in the water. They have adapted to live there, the lightwater dragons being usually fast and great swimmers with accuracy as they hunt surface prey and jump from the water to catch birds flying midair, which is a skill highly valued among their kind. Darkwater dragons, on the other talon, live most of their life in the water. They can withstand high water pressures and hold their breath for up to two hours. The spots on their temples help attract possible prey in the dark depths of the ocean.

Wood dragons live in the forests that edge the mountains and canyons in their territory. Lightwood dragons are generally brown and gray with minute amounts of color other that are more bright, vibrant and a different hue. Lightwood dragons eat mostly plants even though they are omnivores. Instead of digesting the chloroplasts, they instead get used in their scales to photosynthesize. The more green the lightwood, the more plants they eat and therefore the more they can photosynthesize. Darkwood dragons however cannot photosynthesize and instead are mainly carnivores. They don't have the greatest night vision out of all of the dark dragon types, but they are able to sense heat, which helps more rather then sight when they live in a thick wooded area. Wood dragons in general have a large horn that is on their snout, each one being different from another one's. They each produce a different sound, and helps for them to recognize each other from far away, or in the darkwood dragon's case, at night.

Peak dragons live up in the mountains of dragon territory along with on the plateus and canyons that exist in the mini desert created on the East side of the mountains due to weather. They can withstand higher temperatures than the other types of dragons, and have sharp hooked claws that help them climb mountains. Lightpeak dragons are often a bright or light color, as they often live near the top of the mountain to help them camoflauge for when hunting. Darkpeak dragons are usually dark in color. They have the largest glowing spots of all of the other types of dragons as well as frills that line their neck. When hunting, they are able to control their spots so that they are virtually undetectable. Once they are within striking distance, a darkpeak dragon can then shine the glowing spots they have, which reflects off of their frills, which when folded doesn't show it, but the frills are white, which helps. By doing so, they are able to stun their prey.
