Boneyard Wanderers

## Introduction

Boneyard Wanderers are a high-tier species of dragon found in the Boneyards and other areas where dragons are buried. Although a rare sight, Boneyard Wanderers are a formidable dragon not to be messed around with.

This is a closed species, you may not make a Boneyard Wanderer without permission from MoragTheTeabag(#2976)

## Community

*Wanderers do not tend to get along with each other unless, of course, they happen to be related. Disputes over territory, food, and reproduction rights are quite common and almost always end up with only one coming away from it, although if one of the opponents is a highly respected Wanderer, the other will back down without putting up much of a fight.*

*Family packs are rarely seen as the offspring tend to leave their parents once old enough to fend for themselves, sometimes bringing one sibling along with them.*

## Physiology

*As a hatchling, Wanderers are pretty much defenseless and an easy meal for both other dragons and rival Wanderers who seek to eliminate future rivals. Knowing this, parents become very hostile, sometimes even towards each other, which can lead to fights and possibly a parent being killed. Due to the violence of their early years, 9/10 only 1-2 of the hatchlings will survive to their teen years, whether killed by a rival or even a sibling.*

*During their early teens, Wanderers have grown in their armor and have been taught how to repair it when damaged (although their armor does regenerate itself, repairs are more of a temporary fix while waiting). These teens are now also old enough to venture further from their parent/s, they are also no longer targets for rivals as they will band together with siblings to protect each other.*

*Now adult to elder, wanderers are as powerful as their parents (and no longer prey), very rarely do they stick around with their parents. If they decide to leave, the parents, or perhaps parent, will also leave.*

### Colors and Patterns

*Boneyard Wanderers can only come in a few colors, ranging from greys to dark browns and tanned leather, males are usually darker than females. Hatchlings born with unnaturally bright colors are seen as a threat to the safety of the other offspring and WILL be killed without hesitation. No exceptions. You will never see a brightly colored Boneyard Wanderer.*

Wanderer's eyes are highly unique, many times there will be multiple whose colors will look the exact same. Eyes are a great way to identify a Boneyard Wanderer.

*Their bone armor can come in different shapes, which is a genetic trait from the parents.*

### Lairs

*Wanderers reside mostly in the Boneyards, but can also be found wherever there are burial grounds, they don’t usually have a designated lair and prefer to sleep in small caves, although if no suitable cave can be found, Wanderers are quite happy to remain awake for up to three weeks.*

### Behaviour

*All wanderers are different, although they all have the same basic traits;*

*Wanderers are born to be hostile, some more than others but it is still part of them, they are also very thick-skinned, and insults rarely offend them. Loyalty is also a strong trait, once a bond is formed it is strong, although this rarely happens between parental figures.*

*Wanderers are never seen in clans (although rarely they do tend to form a sort of alliance) but they do form ‘packs’, sometimes seen with siblings or more commonly **Fyriwnn Reapers**, another species from the Boneyards, a form of symbiotic relationship is often seen with these dragons.*

### Diet

*Wanderers are very carnivorous and will eat just about any meat, rotten or not.*

### Reproduction

*Throughout their lives, Boneyard Wanderers are only fertile once in their lives. Once they reach adulthood, they can then decide when to become fertile. Due to them only being able to reproduce once, any offspring they produce is highly guarded. Both parents willing and ready to die if it means their offspring survives.*

### Subspecies

*There are no subspecies of a Boneyard Wanderer.*

## Abilities

Wanderers have an extremely high-temperature flame, hotter than a storm/lightning dragon’s blast. This can be used as a regular flame, a blast, or a flash-bang and can be focused into a welding-torch flame. Due to the high temperature, a blast cannot be held for long before it starts to barbeque their throat.

Wanderers are also masters of camouflage, being able to blend into almost any background quite easily. Spotting one can be very difficult unless you are a few feet away- or until they move as the clunking of their bony armor is fairly easy to hear.

A Boneyard Wanderer's armor is almost impenetrable, able to withstand falls from a great height, physical and elemental attacks, but like any creature with armor like this, each Wanderer has their own weak point. The armor can also be damaged by extreme force, but cannot be completely broken.

These dragons also have no body temperature and are unable to be detected by any thermal vision, they also possess no distinguishable scent.
