Dragon Tails (Sample only. See chapter 4)

Glossary

The Deltarians use them for transport and protection, some of the smaller species are kept as pets if they hatched within the Deltarian world. If found in the wild, they do not care for the Deltarian ways as the lizard people eggnap from them and use their species as slaves.

Dragon will usually leave the Deltarians alone and stay away from the Deltarian’s larger populations, but will attack if provoked.

A Paired dragon can communicate to their other half by their own created frequency. Very rarely they will create another frequency that others can hear. Usually it will be a frequency only other dragons can pick up.

Some types of dragons.

Mountaineer

Lives high in the mountains where they blend into rocky areas. Their scales are thick and fire retardant. Their legs are short and wings large, built to jump from ledge to ledge and climb mountains when not flying. The warmth from the fire within keeps them warm at high altitudes. They have a long distance coloured eyesight for hunting their prey

Wingspan - 8m – 10m

Colour - Grey with black dorsal spikes.

Abilities - Fire, mostly red, sometimes blue. And smoke.

Forester

A small nimble, fast flying dragon. The smallest a Glider can ride. They are a master in camouflage, using both water and forest foliage to hide themselves. They are a very timid dragon, but when cornered they can be very nasty and fend their predators off. (Other dragons)

Wingspan - 5m – 6m

Colour - Pale green to dark green.

Abilities - Boiling/hot water and steam.

Large Forester

Even for the size they are rarely seen and never sought out because of the diet; other dragons. Though equipped with large wings, once half grown they only fly if they desperately need to. They prefer to stick to the ground.

Wingspan – 40m

Colour - Pale green to dark green.

Abilities - Boling/hot water and steam.

Desert Dweller

A large dragon who lives in the desert plains. They spend most of their time hovering in the sky with their large wings searching the plains below.

They hold water inside them so they don’t need to leave the barren lands often. They are a hot dragon, but are not fire retardant like their Mountaineer and Volcanic relations, but their scales are heat reflective to protect themselves from high doses of heat and radiation.

Wingspan - 15m – 18m

Colour - Yellow

Abilities - Heat and ignition. (Creates sparks with gas and heat. Works with the oxygen in the air to blow stuff up.)

Aqua

Live in deep seas and lakes. Their large thin wing can close tight into their bodies so they can dive through water and swim. They won’t touch red meat, preferring fish over all other foods. Even though cold blooded, they can be active in cold temperatures by causing friction in their scales to keep themselves warm in the water.

Wingspan - 12m -14m

Colour - Pale blue to dark blue.

Abilities - Cold water and Ice.

Bog

Live in forest and marsh areas. They cover themselves with mud to hide their scaly hide. They have the strongest jaw out of all the dragon species. They are able to crunch metals and rock and also break through any obstacles in the way if given enough time.

Wingspan - 7m - 8m

Colour - Brown.

Abilities - Cold and Hot water.

Volcanic

The most size variant dragon. They live in or around volcanoes able to withstand large amounts of heat and are fire retardant. They are extremely hot, even the air around them distorts with heat. Protection is needed for any one riding. They are not used in the DGAF due to their highly aggressive burning nature.

Wingspan -12m – 20m 

Colour - Red and with black dorsal spikes.

Abilities - Fire, blue and red. Heat and ignition.

Cavern

A dragon that doesn’t frequently wander out of the cave systems in large mountain areas. They build the tunnels underground themselves with their hot breath. Their wings are adjustable, depending on what space is available to fly in. They can see extremely well in the dark, but when there is no light available, they use sonic waves to see and also communicate with other Cavern dragons. Their sonic waves can also be used as a weapon to blast the eardrums of other species, even kill.

Wingspan - adjustable 5, 10, 15 metres depending on space available.

Colour - Black.

Abilities - Fire, red and blue. Sonic soundwaves.
