Vukann
Basic Information
Anatomy
Vukann have arms that curve inwards, giving them a slightly bow legged appearance from the front. The hands have three clawed fingers on the front and one on that back that looks almost like a wyvern’s back claw. The back feet have three clawed toes. They sport a diamond shaped crest on their foreheads and a smaller diamond shaped raised ridge on their nose. They are the most ferocious-looking dragons as well as the mostly muscular. They spend a lot of time on the ground, as evidenced by their odd mating ritual. The wings have no bones segmenting the wings and the wing hand sports a single claw. At rest, the wing sail pleats a little. The wing itself has a tougher skin on the back that is the same shade as the body while the undersides have a much lighter color.
Vukann aren't suited to doing a great deal of flying. They wear out quickly if they have to fly for any length of time. Flight for them is largely a means to achieve teleportation.
They have tougher hides than is average but delicate wing membranes.
Genetics and Reproduction
While graceful and agile in the air, they prove their worth to be the father of a clutch of eggs by performing a dance. This is done on the ground. The dance is a set pattern. Variation is usually only tolerated by younger females. Older ones prefer males who stick to the pattern. Faltering in the dance will cause the females to ignore you.
Vukann are purely monogamous. In the event of their mate’s death, they will not take another mate. The parents raise the hatchlings together, though it is mostly the male who watches over the eggs. They will do anything to protect their eggs.
They lay their forest green eggs in stands of trees on the edges of the chume’taly forest as the trees are too close together further in to the forest for them to get in. Often, they enlist the aid of the chume’taly in watching the eggs.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities
These dragons can cast magic, but that magic is limited to teleporting them and anything they are carrying, such as their rider, to another location. They need to know where they are going, and generally can only go to somewhere they’ve seen a picture of or have been themselves. It is required that they be airborne in order to do this.
They spit an acid that is produced in glands in the mouth. The acid comes out through hypodermic teeth much the same way as a snake injects venom into its prey. The acid is highly pressurized and can spray a good distance before the pressure is lost.
Vukann have heightened hearing.
