Lesser Dragon

Leviathans

## Evolutions

The term **Lesser Dragon** refers to the offshoot of ***Dragons***, being either born from their sexual escapades with other species or created by them. They are also categorized as Beasts.

## Information

Lesser Dragons is a broad term used to describe Dragons' offshoots. Lesser Dragons come to be as a result of a Dragon's sexual escapade with a member of another species, giving birth to a being with some draconic traits, yet lacking the true might of the ferocious beasts. Unlike real Dragons, Lesser Dragons are smaller and weaker.

Lesser Dragons are often referred to as *Wyrmlings* or *Lesser Wyrms*.

## Characteristics

Lesser Dragons, true to their *lesser* status, only possess some of their Dragon ancestor's characteristics. They may possess scales, wings, tails, four limbs, or a longer neck in different variations, but never all. Lesser Dragons tend to only inherit some traits of their Dragon ancestors, and they usually become "degraded", losing the "Dragon" prefix to become "Draconic".

Lesser Dragons, while smaller and weaker, are still dangerous creatures with sharp minds and high intelligence. Despite the fact they are "lesser", their danger does not diminish one bit. From their Dragon ancestors, Lesser Dragons tend to inherit strong bodies, intelligent minds, and a strong power over an attribute.

Lesser Dragons also appear to be reptilian in appearance, and they are always large. Adult Lesser Dragons stretch for tens of meters in length.

## Intrinsic Skills

Although each subgroup of Lesser Dragons have their own specific Bloodline Skills, as a group, they all share the same skills.

* **Draconic Breath** - Although no longer "Dragon" but "Draconic", it still allows them to condense their attribute attunement in their mouths and then ejected it alongside mana as a devastating breath.
* **Draconic Eyes** - Allows them to find flaws, weaknesses, and see through illusions. Also can peer into parts of Status Panels. Additionally, they can analyze and replicate abilities they see within certain limitations.
* **Draconic Roar** - A mana-infused roar that debilitates those who hear it. The sound waves push anyone near back.
* **Draconic Words** - Allows them to use willpower and mana to rewrite or establish new laws around them. Depending on their words, the laws may affect a single individual or a group. However, using them against someone too strong will result in a strong backlash.
* **Draconic Pressure** - The release of mana that causes debilitating effects and debuffs on the target.

## Types of Lesser Dragons

### Hydras

Hydras are wingless Lesser Dragons. They have multiple heads, four limbs, no wings, and multiple tails. Each new head grants them the ability to master a different aspect over a law they are innately attuned with. Unlike others who could only follow one path for laws, Hydras can follow multiple paths for each law, each head allowing so. If attuned with fire, one head can comprehend destructive fire, other purifying fire, and another healing fire. A Hydra can have a maximum of five heads at adulthood.
