Dragon

Dragons are very powerful and magical creatures. They are an ancient race, where only a few species that still exist can claim longer lineage. There were several types of dragons, the most common of which were chromatic and metallic, which are typically  evil and good respectively, however there are exclusions to the alignments as that of the dragons of Zame.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Dragons are inherently magical beings, and in no case should dragons be considered reptiles, despite obvious similarities such as a scaled epidermis and reproduction by laying eggs. In fact, they are more akin to feline creatures than reptiles, particularly in regards to their posture and movements, as well as being inherently warm-blooded and an eye composition similar to felines, although far more complex. A good example of this are the placement of the legs: dragons tended to place their rear foot where their front foot was previously, much like most stalking feline predators.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

As for their senses, which varied slightly depending on the species, dragons are superior in most ways to other creatures - like any predator, they had exceptionally acute senses, which only increased with age. Dragons has excellent depth perception and comparably good peripheral vision, able to see twice as well as a human in daylight; they had great night vision, and are able to see even when conditions had no light to offer, though not in color. Dragons can also pick up scents very well, utilizing both their sensitive nose and tongue. Their hearing is on par with elves' hearing, although their minds can filter the noises it hears. Dragon taste is also refined, although they did not respond well to sweet flavors, and most dragons don't discuss why. They are able to eat almost everything, but each race has a preferred diet; some preferred flesh, other to eat precious metals or gems, and so forth. Of all its senses, a dragon's sense of touch is the only one to decrease with age, due mostly to the development of thick, hard scales. Dragons are capable of blindsense, the sense in which eyes, ears, and other senses can be used to detect invisible persons or objects.
