Basic Information

Anatomy

Eastern dragons are wingless dragons covered in snake-like scales. Ridges run down the spine and horns line the face, giving them a menacing visage. Whereas western dragons have the appearance of massive winged lizards, eastern dragons have the appearance of snakes with lion-esque faces. At shoulder height eastern dragons are two meters on average and fifteen meters long on average. They have a pair of forelimbs that have highly dexterous fingers which can hold objects when in its dragon form. A pair of whiskers protrude from their face, though no known purpose for these whiskers are known. 
Like other dragon variants, eastern dragons are able to take a metahuman form. This form is made from pure mana, but are able to act as a normal metahuman's body would. Since these forms take so much mana and effort, most eastern dragons only maintain a small number of forms, if they even keep more than one.
