Dragons are huge reptilian monsters. They are intelligent, powerful, and magical. Many dragons have frills, crests, barbels,
spikes, and so for, and their color varies widely—green, red, and brown are the most common colors, but dragons can be any
new page color, including metallic, gemstone colors, opalescent, and even neon colors. Their appearance appears to not be genetic; a pair
of green, spiky dragons can produce a metallic red dragon with fins. Dragons can eat anything (animals, plants, metal, gems, and
Membership rock) but prefer meat. Most will subsist on sheep, goats, or other herd animals, but some have decided that intelligent beings
taste best. Despite popular legend, they can't actually tell if someone is a virgin or not.
How to join this site?
Site members Dragons are loners—a mated pair will stay together long enough to raise their offspring and then part, and upon reaching the age
of twenty or so, young dragons will leave the nest. It's unknown how old they can get: they continue to grow in both size and
Forum power their entire lives, and it's unknown if any have died of old age.

Forum Dragons are usually willing to negotiate, at least if they're being given gifts and flattery (some just like to destroy things, though).
Despite their often high intelligence, they tend to act animalistic (often like a cross between a cat and a jackdaw).
Recent posts
Recent threads Dragons have breath weapons, which, like their general appearance, has little to do with genetics. Most also have an array of
special supernatural abilities, usually developed at adulthood. Perhaps due to their magical biology, these special abilities seem
to relate to their breath weapon and where they end up living: a dragon that decides to settle down in the forest may develop the
ability to speak to plant or shapechange into animal form, while a fire-breathing dragon may become able to control or even
Page tags create fire. Although they're a highly magical species with innate magery, they need to learn their magic in the same way that
human spellcasters do: by learning the spells.
