Radiant Dragon

*While no wizard has dared to measure the internal temperature of the **Radiant Dragon**, judging from the copious amount of heat radiating from this dragon's fins, it must be formidable. Some clever witches have enticed them to thaw remote snowed-in villages.*
    —Nogard's description of the **Radiant Dragon** in The Book of Dragons
The **Radiant Dragon** is a hybrid dragon of the Light and Metal elements. It's main element is Light.

## Abilities

### Weapons

A **radiant dragon's** main weapon is its heat. Unless an opponent has the ability to channel a large amount of Cryomancy, it is near impossible for the opponent to get close enough to the dragon to touch it. Actually touching the dragon is sure to vaporize anybody who has not applied an anti-heat spell. If the dragon's heat does not seem to have any effect, the radiant dragon will extend its fins and force out body heat.

### Breath Weapon

The **radiant dragon** breathes a beam of red light that kills and cooks its meals at the same time. It is currently unknown what the effects of this beam is on plants but it is strongly believed that they would burst into flames.

### Weaknesses

**Radiant dragons** have very thin skin but only a promethium dragon could possibly get pass the immense amount of energy radiating from it's body.

## Lifestyle

### Relationship to Wizards

Wizards do not dare coming close to this dragon because of its immense heat. There are cases known of wizards dying because of **radiant dragons** running to them and burning them with their warmth, although most of the time these dragons do not care about wizards unless they interfere with their hunt or come too close themselves. For that reason, DDLA has ranked them as 3.

## When in a park

### Habitats

**Radiant dragons** can live in Light and Metal habitats without any problems. They can live in Omnitats as well but may need addition cleaning if sharing a habitat with a soot dragon as they tend to gravitate towards sources of heat. They can also live in Paradise habitats but watch carefully as they may unintentionally cause all the water in the habitat to evaporate.

## Magic

**Radiant dragons** are related to Luximancy and Metallomancy. Their heat has something to do with Pyromancy and they can use a bit of Radiomancy too.
