Dragons are one of the most fearsome creatures that dwell on this world, perhaps even more so then the demons if not for their fewer numbers and scarcely going out of there way for conflict. The relationships between most races and dragons are mixed, both feared and respected. Some cults have tried to worship dragons, or brave warriors tried to tame these beasts, and even to this day such tradition exist, though more so of the latter. Dragon tamers are rare, as it is not only difficult to get to the dragon region, but taming one is nigh impossible and requires much patience and luck, though most end up dead before they can even ride one. Some forms of magic have been devoted to the aspects of the dragon, as mages curious of their strange blend of natural biology and magical affiliation so naturally. While the end times have caused dragons to be even rarer then they once were, and believe me when I say most would rather go deep into the helscape then to seek out the land that they dwell.

The Ancients have a long tradition of dragon slaying, perhaps harboring the most infamous warriors to face such terrifying beasts.

Dragons are unique in that they are in many ways magical as well as natural, it is unknown how or why dragons possess such qualities, and such topics have drawn the attention of many scholars across the centuries.

Biologists aren't sure where to classify dragons, while they are very close to the squamata group (snakes and lizards), there is much debate over whether to put them within the squamata classification, or a cousin classification to the group instead. Regardless, Dragons are reptiles.

All dragons have a unique affiliation with fire, even to those who can't breathe fire or have an affiliation with opposing forces like ice. As a result they have an undefinable heat resistance, or immunity, as it seems impossible to burn or damage a dragon in any way or form by heat alone, be it intense flames, molten rock of a volcano, or intense magical beams, they do not burn or melt under the intense temperatures.

All dragons also have an undefinable lifespan, they show no evidence of being hindered by old age and in fact never stop growing (like most reptiles in fact) though as they get to a certain threshold on their species they tend to slow down the growth rate exponentially. Obviously, dragons can stand the test of time and can 'potentially' live forever, though of course they are not immortal and it is statistically impossible for them to live 'forever', they live until something kills them. Be it disease, another dragon, a powerful demon, or a brave mortal.

As for their breathe weapons, fire breathing is a common trait amongst dragons. Though other species may have other variations of a breathe weapon, such as poisonous flames, frosty air, hot vapor, or streams of electricity just to name a few. However not all species have a breathe weapon

Despite legends, dragons are rarely sentient, and even fewer can speak, most are wild animals with intelligence no greater then that of a canine, however all dragons have a magical connection with the draconic language, an ancient and arcane language that is often used for rare spells, usually dracomancy. Any dragon, even the primitive ones, understand the language, and with the right arcana those words can turn to power. Additionally it is easier to command a tamed dragon with draconic rather then to teach it commands in other languages. It should be of note that nowadays there is no sentient dragon whatsoever, only primitive species being a reminder of their glory. There size for most have scaled down significantly and rarely would one see a species bigger then 50 feet.

Species can vary greatly, and even those of the same species can look very distinct with various assortments of features expected from there kind. Some species may have, but not limited to, a variety of horn displays, spikes, scale types, color patterns, and other such details differentiate with each individual. This makes it easy to distinct one dragon from another.

The scales of the dragon can vary in form, texture, and durability. However many dragons have hard, metal-like scales as a sort of natural armor. Such scales are difficult to penetrate with even high quality weapons. Though all dragons with this natural armor usually have a weak spot of soft scales, in most cases this would be the soft underbelly, which will usually appear different then the other scales it possesses.

Since they are cold blooded, they do not do well in cold environments. Though there are some exceptional species in ages past where snow was common, most tend to freeze to death rather quickly. The desert nights tend to harbor unexpected cold drops which has lead to the extinction of many dragons.

Mutations are any number of traits that can occur in almost any species of dragons, mutations happen randomly usually without much genetic link, with some exceptions. There is no limit on how many mutations one could have, for example one could have, in theory, almost every single mutation there is. However a single mutation alone is extremely rare. Especially in the modern era.
