Dragon Bestiary

Dragons (or wyrms) were very powerful and magical creatures. Although called dragons, all of the known species in the world are in fact wyrms or drakes, with many of the original species dying off at the end of Dragon Cult Wars. While many scholars like to say that a dragon has four legs, this is far too simplistic to define every species of dragon, as some have no legs, two legs, four legs, or even up to twelve legs. In reality, there is only one way sure-fire way to tell a true dragon from a wyrm or drake, and that is to kill one, for a true dragon will not die upon a 'natural' death like their lesser brothers and sisters. There are several types of dragonkind, the most common of which were chromatic and metallic, which were evil and good respectively. They were an ancient race. Few species that still exist can claim longer lineage. Dragons were the bane of the creator races of Asyur; their line was so old, they had their own realm during the first recorded exploits of the elves. In recent times, the dragons of Asyur were nearly all recluses or at the very least deceptive to their true nature, living amongst other species in polymorphed form.
