Storm Dragons

Storm Dragons are the Kyamese variation of Dragonkin, renowned for their speed and agility in flight rivaled only by their elegance and grace.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Storm Dragons have long serpentine bodies covered in blue-silver scales. They have a tuft of white fur located at the end of their tails and a matching mane around their neck and jawline, resembling a beard.
The head of a Storm Dragon vaguely resembles that of a crocodile with a relatively short pair of deer-like horns on the side.

Genetics and Reproduction

Storm Dragons are hatched from eggs.
Said eggs are often a highly-prized target for poachers given the demands for Dragons in both civil uses and private collections.

Ecology and Habitats

The Northern Mountains of Kyama serve as the main home for Storm Dragons. Specifically, Dragons most commonly congregate around Mount Kurai Sora (Mountain of the Dark Sky) due to it's frequent storms providing both ample winds for them to fly on as well as protection from hunters.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Storm Dragons are omnivores. While they most often hunt smaller birds and animals, there have been documented sightings of Dragons in the lower valleys entwined around trees as they eat fruit from them.
