Deshenn

Basic Information

Anatomy

They have long, multi-pronged horns arcing back from just above the eyes. They have scales rather than hide. These dragons are primarily concentrated on the lower two islands and a few of the smaller islands in the chain.

Genetics and Reproduction

They are mostly monogamous, but they do sometimes go through a few partners before they find one they would care to form a monogamous bond with. The females take on most of the egg caring responsibility, though the males take on a lot of the teaching duties.
These dragons see age as attractive and woo older dragons. There are limits to the age gap, however, and it’s inappropriate for one to court a dragon who is more than 70 years older than you. The courting process involves a combination of gift giving and song singing.
They prefer sandy grounds littered with some rocky debris, but aren’t really fussy about it so long as the area is defensible. Their eggs are jet black.

Additional Information

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

These dragons are alchemists. They can neutralize poisons and make non poisonous things dangerous to ingest. Older dragons learn to do other things with this ability over time.
They belch out a noxious gas that makes those it touches quite ill.
