Dragon

A Dragon is a fantastic beast that is no longer typically found in the world of Nectar. They are incredible creatures with a physical scale unmatched by most other magical beasts; their form is like that of a monstrous reptile--with tough scales layered over their skin, horns protruding from their skulls, spikes laced down their backs and their tails, claws as sharp as a kingsman's sword, and killer teeth that could pierce nearly anything they bite into. Dragons take a great amount of time to age, but in their prime, a dragon can grow up to 85 feet (26m) in length with a wingspan of 40-72 feet (12-22m).

Unlike most other fantastic beasts, dragons display an incredible sense of conscienceness and free will - although they are still forever-greedy in nature. This trait means that even feral dragons are capable of communicating with people, so long as they speak the same langage, of course.

Along with having great intelligence, dragons are also capable of a magic ability that allows them to summon great breaths of fire from their throats. Described by many to be "the hottest flames in the world," dragon's fire has the ability to burn nearly any physical substance that it comes in contact with. The only known exception to this rule is Drægon Steel, which can only be forged in the Fires of Infernus.

For many centuries, dragons roamed the main land of Yiyhr alongside many other Fantastic Beasts; however, their fates were unfortunately sealed some thousand years before The Great Culmination, as the Great House Naath was the final known family of dragons to exist on the continent. Many believe that the Naath family and other dragons alike were murdered for their immense power--a common reason behind Fantastic Beast poaching--due to the fear that they may conquer the world if not killed. Thus, it is common belief on the continent of Yiyhr that dragons are extinct. Other countries, especially those in the continent of Korultra, will say otherwise: they believe that dragons still roam the earth in the not-so-obvious country of Dhrægo. Due to the massive wall separating the countries, however, there has been no reliable source to prove this.

In olden times, and in very specific places of the current world, the word Dragon was spelled as Drægon. There is no notable difference between the meaning of these spellings, only that it marks an evolution in the writing of the common language.
