Dragon

* Male
* Female

## Reference

**Dragons,** also called **dragon princesses**, are an extremely sexually dimorphic type of cryptid. They first appear in Discount Armageddon.

## Appendix Entry

**Dragon** (*Draconem sapiens*). Dragons are essentially winged, fire-breathing dinosaurs the size of Greyhound buses. At least, the males are. The females are attractive humanoids who can blend seamlessly in a crowd of supermodels, and outnumber the males twenty to one. Females are capable of parthenogenic reproduction and can sustain their population for centuries without outside help. All dragons, male and female, require gold to live, and collect it constantly.

**Dragon Princess** *(Homo Draconem)*. The dragon princesses are humanoid cryptids believed to have evolved alongside the now-extinct great dragons. They have no special powers, save their ability to withstand extremes of heat, and their unerring ability to make money. There are no males of their species. We don't know how that works, either.

*Note: The entry for Dragon Princess is included for scientific posterity, but has been debunked in recent years.*

## Male Dragons

### Biology

The male of the species are giant reptiles, the classic understanding of a dragon. Males have underdeveloped wings that only allow flight for the first decade or so of their life; after that, they live grounded.

### Abilities

Male dragons are able to breathe fire. Their blood can be used to create Servitors, though the ability is generally only used in extreme emergencies.

The only known adult male dragon, William, enjoys playing chess and working at his forge.

### Habitat

The original range of male dragons is unknown. When the Covenant attempted to purge all the dragons, they went into hibernation to hide themselves away. They may be too large to move from their hiding place without destroying the nearby human settlements. The only known male dragon currently lives in the sewers underneath Manhattan.

## Dragon Princesses

Dragon princesses were long believed by the cryptozoological community to be a separate species from dragons, but have recently been recognized as the females of a sexually dimorphic species.

Like males, dragon princesses are obsessed with gaining wealth. They are immune to fire and can in fact  keep the flames going for far longer than the fuel should allow. They cannot generate their own flame.

They live approximately as long as humans. They are able to reproduce asexually when a male is not available. They have very little physical variation, with most confirmed dragon princesses appearing as blonde, blue-or-green-eyed Caucasians. They live in communities, called “nests,” of up to thirty individuals.

In Popular Culture
A dragon is a large, serpentine, legendary creature that appears in the folklore of many cultures worldwide. More accurately is a name that's been applied to the innumerable large scaled monsters one finds in the world's cultures, humans don't seem to like reptiles. Beliefs about dragons vary considerably through regions, but dragons in western cultures since the High Middle Ages have often been depicted as horned, six-limbed (a pair of wings and four legs), and capable of breathing fire.
Their link to princesses goes back a long way and various permutations of the theme can be found both in and out of the western canon.
Modern depictions include Game of Thrones, How to Train Your Dragon, Harry Potter, and many more.
