Tiann
Basic Information
Anatomy
Tiann are covered in scales with a pair of inwardly curving horns at the top of their heads. Their silver eyes are solidly colored and have a liquid quality to them. Their wings are a solid flap of thick skin attached to a scale covered wing arm. A small bit of slightly thinner skin stretches between the wing’s shoulder and the second joint. They have three clawed toes and a dewclaw on their feet and four claws on their hands. The hands are fully dexterous.
Genetics and Reproduction
To mate, tiann engage in aerial displays to impress the females. It’s not necessarily the most impressive, complex display that attracts a female’s attention but how well executed a display is. Mistakes annoy them, so they’ll pass over a male with an elaborate dance with a slight flaw for males with simpler, perfectly executed displays.
Males aren’t as interested in caring for the eggs, but are quite interested in helping the female to teach the young dragons. They aren’t monogamous in nature, but some have been known to form permanent partnerships.
Tiann lay their eggs in sandy areas by preference as they like to bury them to keep predators from seeing the shiny shells from a distance.
Eggs are light grey with a silky feel and a distinct shine to them.

Additional Information
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
They emit a kind of cold fire that is produced by mixing a chemical that their body creates naturally in their second stomach with their saliva. This produces a burst of something that looks like flame, but is actually cold.
They're not particularly touch sensitive due to the thickness of their scales. They can use magic, summoning elementals and doing things that most non-dragons wouldn’t dare to do.
