Dragon

Traits
Dragons are reptilian creatures with scales, claws, and long tails--some spaded, some thin and whiplike, and some thick and powerful. Dragons vary vastly in size, though most are easily larger than a human home. The smaller species can come small as a domestic cat. They come in a variety of colors from the entire spectrum of the rainbow. Generally, their coloring reflects their innate element, but this isn't always true.

Lifespan
500-10,000 years old.

Culture and Society
In Nalavigne, most dragons reside in Smoke Valley. It's the perfect home for dragons, as it's constantly hot and provides a great cover for them while hunting or hiding their hoards. Dragons usually keep to themselves, although humans still hunt them from time to time. Their blood and scales are used for potions. Dragons live solitary lives for the most part, although they are fiercely protective of their families and when they find a mate, that mate is for life. Not all dragons enjoy shiny things for their hoards; most have collections that work in a patterned vein--some like certain colored objects, some like to collect certain types of gems, and some really do just like all that glitters.

History
Dragons have been around long before humans have been and probably will be around once they've died out. Not all dragons live in Smoke Valley--and there are dragons all over the world. The most common place for dragons living in Nalavigne is the valley, but there is a rumor that a dragon nests at the very top of the Nocturne lighthouse ruins. Historically, dragons have kept themselves out of human wars and have little reason to choose one or the other. They don't seem to like politics and have little use for useless baubles--unless they're shiny.

Lore
Most stories centered around dragons are meant to frighten children. Dragons are regarded by most of Nalavigne to be monsters, although those that work or learn at Moltero have come to know them as a type of person all their own. Dragon's blood and scales are the main ingredients in many magical potions, though it once was thought that their blood would kill on contact. Some backwater villages still believe this.

Religion
Dragons are usually not a part of religion, though they live in harmony with the mana threads, the spirits, and the gods.

Abilities
Dragons have a wide array of talents. They are naturally able to tap into mana threads, and they usually can do so with their innate element from a very young age. Dragons do not shift into humans.

Restrictions
None.
