## Story

### A Dragon That Enjoys Fierce Combat

"Well! Come!"

Today again, the combat arena near the Mountain of Fire was heated. Combat enthusiast Taros has been unwell recently and has not been able to show its face in combat. But finally, its body seemed to have fully recovered, and it climbed onto the stadium, snorting and pounding its claws.

When it asked who its opponent would be, it turned out to be a Water Element dragon. In Taros’s state, who had just been healed, it was decided that it could not win. Taros has long considered fighting a Water Element dragon as its homework. Taros thought it was good and roared with the lumps on its body lighting up.

"Very good!!! I was just itching to fight!"

The two dragons caught both claws with a bang. How hard they push each other's arms, their muscles and blood were sprouting. Then the opponent dragon pushed Taros and flew high and exhaled its breath. Taros wanted to slow down them with its breath, but its hand was melting from their breath.

"The... power... of the lava... Do not underestimate it!!!"

Taros fell into the nearby lava and rose from the lava with a hot body. It grabbed its opponent with its long tail and to prevent it from flying off. The dragon, who could not endure the tremendous heat, roared in pain. Taros gave dragons who could no longer exercise its advice.

Only a few dragons and Tamers who had made money from Taros were shouting.

"Ha ha ha!"

Taros laughed with its body covered in lava.

"My body will harden, but lava doesn't!"

## Evolution

### Egg

It is an egg with a hump.

Roots grow to absorb lava. If you look closely at the roots, you can see the ones that absorbed lava. The absorbed lava gathers in the egg and forms red lumps. The shell of the lump is slightly opaque, so you can see the lava boiling inside. If you place your hand near the egg, it will feel hot due to the lava. Occasionally, a part of the egg breaks easily, causing the lava inside to flow out. It is better not to touch it as much as possible, but to place it where lava flows and let Taros's egg absorb the lava.

### Hatch

From hatching, it sets out to find lava that emits heat. Taros hatches want to store more lava. Since lava is the life and energy for Taros, it often spends time in places where lava is boiling. Sometimes, if there is someone who wants lava, it will produce lava, creating a threatening atmosphere.

### Hatchling

With its flexible body movements, it can swim through lava.

It makes every effort to have flexible body movements. It can enjoy a hot spring bath in water heated by lava, or immerses its body in lava to recharge its energy and loosen its stiff body at the same time. It exercises hard to avoid muscle loss. Thanks to its flexible body movements that created after a lot of effort, it is now able to swim through lava, and even temporarily avoid attacks from the ground by falling into the lava.

### Adult

With its hot personality and physical movements, it is a veteran in combat.

Thanks to its lava energy, it does not get tired easily, making it a hard opponent for many dragons. After completing the battle with the opposing dragons, advice is given regarding the opponent's combat skills. So, they say that Taros is the perfect opponent for combat practice, but you want to avoid it. It regards dealing with dragons with opposite Element Type as its eternal homework. Its only record of defeat is when it battles against a Water Element dragon. Even if it is not defeated, it does not like seeing itself struggling in combat.
