Dragon

Karsearin: Adventures of a Red Dragon (Webtoon)

Dragon is a terminology of the Karsearin: Adventures of a Red Dragon, The Creature and In Dreams.

Dragons are typically depicted as a large, breathing something, scaly, horned, leathery, bat-like wings, four legs, a long, muscular prehensile tail, lizard-like creature.

Dragons weren't a human being, but a race that reached the closest to perfection among mortals, and it's the only living being that belongs to the earth and has a body and is equal to God.

## Biology

### Aging

In internet novel Part 1, it reveals that the lifespan of dragons is about 7~8000 years, and adulthood begins between 5~600 years of age, youth reaches 3000 years old, and old age begins with passing 5000 years of age. But in web novel Chapter 1, it changes that dragons have a lifespan of about 10,000 years, reaching adulthood at about 700 years old, reaching 5,000 years of youth, and reaching 5,000 years of age.

Baby dragons are called hatchlings and do not become adults until they are 700 years old. Dragons of a certain age are called wyrms.

### Diet

The size is considerable, so the seeds of the creatures of the world will dry out to find food for that, so dragons who have lived for more than 2000 years absorb the mana of elements that match their attributes and use them as energy. That is why Karstein lives in a lava lake. Of course, it's not that they can't eat food, but, since there is no way for lazy dragons to wander around looking for food, the creatures of the world are not drying their seeds.

### Size

The main body of the representative ancient dragon Karstein reaches a height of 50m (164.042 ft) from the back to the ground when it plows on the ground with four legs. To put it simply, it is the height of the roof of a 15-story apartment building. Arin is only about 300 years old, but strangely, his body grows so fast that he has a body similar to that of a 7-800-year-old Red Dragon. His back height is about 20m (65.6168 ft), which is about the same size as Grateus. Red dragons are much larger than other dragons.

## Abilities

Dragons became stronger as they grew older.

They are proficient in ancient magic and elemental techniques (adult dragons can use spirits with the same attributes as themselves), and have a body that is bigger and stronger than any other creature on earth. Fortunately, these beings are quite lazy, and unless they annoy them, they rarely cause any trouble to the world, and because of this, other humans and humanoids are somehow living their lives.

		- Darkness Adaptation: The cave is so dark that not even a single point of light came in. However, even this harsh environment isn't an obstacle at all for the dragon.
		- Cold Immunity: The cave is cold. However, even this harsh environment isn't an obstacle at all for the dragon.
	+ Enhanced/Supernatural Vision - Karsearin: Adventures of a Red Dragon (Web Novel) Chapter 1: Arin can read a book in the dark. And the dragon's eyesight is incredibly good. Considering a human, he could even see the eye of a needle 5 meters (16.4042 ft) away, so even the magic book it was holding could be read with a dragon's eyes. So, he thought that no matter how small the text, he could read it without any problem, so he peeked at a book from Karstein.
	+ Acidic Saliva - Karsearin: Adventures of a Red Dragon (Web Novel) Chapter 1: Arin flips through the pages of a book the size of a shield the size of his claws. Of course, it doesn't go over easily. If he was a human, that would try to apply saliva, but the dragon's saliva was just too strong a material for paper.

## Types

There are 7 types of dragons in all in this world. They are called red, blue, green, white, black, gold and silver dragons depending on their body color and use different breaths. Dragon's Breath, the greatest weapon given to a dragon can only be used 3 times a day, and each dragon has a different type. In the case of a red dragon, the Flame Breath which is intense flame, blue is lightning, the Lightning Breath. Green is strong acid gas, black is dark gas, and gold dragon can breathe all kinds of breath. (However, gold dragons have significantly weaker breath power compared to other dragons.) Silver dragons and white dragons use the breath of cold, but white dragons are known to have the lowest ability among all dragons and have bad brains. (Of course, in the case of a red or silver dragon, which is said to be the strongest among all dragons), if it is an ancient dragon more than 5000 years old, you can use Flame Breath, meaning that it 'purifies' rather than burns, or Blizzard Breath that reaches absolute zero. However, it is rare for an old dragon of that level to use the breath. (Of course, there are very few that attack old dragons like that.)
