Bearded Dragon

Collab dragon co-created by DVC and Youtuber Jungbrre

## Base Stats

It is sole heir to the legacy of the Lizard Kingdom. A dragon of historical impact, it is known both as its inaugural monarch and its final ruler. Its reign was marked by its leadership, achieving great feats such as territorial expansion and victorious wars. However, among other Lizard Dragons, the Bearded Dragon is remembered as an enduring symbol of fear.

The jewel on the Bearded Dragon's chest serves as an emblem of the Lizard Kingdom's dynastic heritage. If the jewel loses its luster, the Bearded Dragon descends from the throne, leaving the Lizard Kingdom to live in solitude.

## Story

### Ruler of the Throne

"Who shall take the throne?"

The Lizard Dragons began to expand the territory of the Lizard Kingdom by driving out all dragons and monsters in the area. They actively adapted to ecological changes, clearing unnecessary weeds and stones, leaving only insects and plants that can serve as their meal.

However, despite the expansion of their territory, the Lizard Kingdom couldn't progress further. There was no Lizard Dragon that could command all the Lizard Dragons at once. The Lizard Dragons were selfish and moved for their benefit only. There was no such concept of "the common good" among them. Apart from the commonality of being Lizard Dragons, they each had different characteristics and behaviors.

"We need a dragon to lead the Lizard Kingdom."

The Lizard Dragons began their search for a dragon that could lead their kingdom. A noble and pure-blooded one was sought after. A dragon that would catch the attention of any Lizard Dragon. In their search, they arrived in a foreign land.

It was place where dryness, shade, and sunlight coexisted. It was there where the Lizard Dragons encountered Bearded Dragon.

Perched on a high desert plateau, Bearded Dragon's chest shimmered with a red jewel.

"I shall be well-suited to lead the kingdom."

Bearded Dragon looked down at the Lizard Dragons with an arrogant gaze. The Bearded Dragon was charismatic enough to send shivers down the Dragons' spines.

Bearded Dragon's words were strangely powerful. It was obvious the red jewel was demanding loyalty.

"Lead me to the heart of the Lizard Kingdom."

As Bearded Dragon finished its sentence, the Lizard Dragons hoisted Bearded Dragon's throne, heading for the heart of the Lizard Kingdom together. In the meantime, the Lizard Kingdom was full of internal strife as the Lizard Dragons fought for the throne. Amidst differing opinions and a lack of unity, the Lizard Dragons turned against each other.

"If there's one who can take the lead in this era of chaos, it is I!"

The red jewel, protruding between sharp scales, was gleaming. With each word from Bearded Dragon the Lizard Dragons were instantly captivated. The red light was enough to ignite loyalty among the Lizard Dragons.

"It is I, Bearded Dragon, that will make the Lizard Kingdom prosper once again!"

The laughter of Bearded Dragon instilled a subtle tension among the crowd. The unease of the red jewel, the ancient dignity unique to its pure bloodline, the fear brought by Bearded Dragon's sturdy scales... The Lizard Dragons couldn't determine the cause of their uncertainty.

## Evolution

### Egg

An egg that carries the unwavering spirit of the Lizard Kingdom. One of the most challenging eggs to manage, as its growth speed varies with temperature and humidity. The sharp scales protruding from its shell are exceptionally keen. The crown, initially attached to the surface, detaches the moment the egg hatches. The Bearded Dragon wears this separated ornament upon hatching.

### Hatch

Ever since it hatched, the Bearded Dragon proudly adorns a crown upon its head. The crown tends to slip off frequently as it is notably larger and heavier than the dragon's head. If the crown is damaged, the dragon reacts with fiery fury, often directing its anger towards nearby adversaries. It loves hunting, and roams in search of small prey to devour.

### Hatchling

Unlike hatches, Bearded Dragon hatchlings prepare to accept the throne. To express its readiness, it proudly displays its distinctive marks as a Bearded Dragon. It becomes more inclined to issue commands to other dragons or Tamers in its vicinity, preferring to solve matters through orders rather than by tackling them independently.

### Adult

This dragon resides upon the throne that is passed down through generations in the Lizard Kingdom. The throne is powered by the red jewel held by the Bearded Dragon.

The jewel infuses strength into every command the Bearded Dragon issues, possessing the power to influence other Lizard Dragons, compelling them to follow without question.

## Breeding

The Lizard Kingdom Appearance is exclusive to Generation 1 Bearded Dragons, and cannot be obtained through breeding.

The Desert Kingdom Appearance is obtained via breeding a Generation 1 Bearded Dragon with either a Skink Dragon or another Generation 1 Bearded Dragon.

The Ice Kingdom Appearance is obtained via breeding a Generation 1 Bearded Dragon with a Leopard Dragon.

The Underground Kingdom Appearance is obtained via breeding a Generation 1 Bearded Dragon with a Crested Dragon.

If a Generation 1 Bearded Dragon is bred with any dragon that is not a Bearded, Skink, Leopard, or Crested Dragon, then it will result in the Basic Appearance. The Basic Appearance also arises if a Generation 2 or higher Bearded Dragon is bred with any dragon, including other lizard species.

## Trivia
