[SIZE=11pt]Links: Vanquo[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Name: Vanquo Dragons[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Designation: Sentient[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Origins: Vanquo[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Average Lifespan: 6,000[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Estimated Population: [/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]Planetary[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Description: Most Vanquo dragons bear little resemblance between one another visually. Each takes after their particular environment, however most share a few similarities. Their scales cover their body like mail, and while color variation differs they tend towards certain brighter colors more on the regular. They also possess wings, most commonly leathery wings not unlike a bat, however some were able to possess feathered wings. These Dragons tend to be larger creatures with a single particular subspecies being unable to grow larger than the average human.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Breathes: Type 1[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Average Height of Adults: Varies[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Average Length of Adults: Varies[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Skin color: Can range from all colors[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Hair color: Can range from all colors if they have hair/feathers [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Distinctions: Well to be frank, they are dragons. Pretty distinct from most species. Differing from other dragons, however, Vanquo dragons possess an intense drive to adapt to an environment, resulting in males and females having their wide range of variances. In an environment lit by purple crystals for instance, the young dragon could grow to fit the environment. This process ends on maturation, however.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Races: The only known non-standard race of Vanquo dragons are the Minifilia Dragons, which do not grow as large as the others. In fact they tend not to be larger than the average human, meaning they remain quite small and docile compared to their larger cousins. This race of dragon doesn’t seem to be a full on different species, as they can come from most any other dragon.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Force Sensitivity: All[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Hard Scales: Vanquo dragons develop protective scales that disperse heat, energy, and physical objects. This makes them rather suited to surviving dangerous situations.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Breath: Most Vanquo dragons, with the exception of Minfilia dragons, possess some kind of innate ability to cause a combustion of air sent through their mouth, though some do possess additional features aside from fire.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Flight: These beasts are quite capable of flight, and very dangerous in the air. When airborne they can be swift and quite deceptively agile.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Adapt: From birth, each dragon rapidly adapts to fit their particular choice of environment. This makes them well suited to whatever home they have chosen.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Lumbering: These beasts are not by any means quick footed. When not in the air, they are slow to move in any direction except forward, or up. The sole exception to this are Minfilia dragons, who lack this sort of limitation.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Size: Again with the exception of Minfilia dragons, these beasts are really difficult to miss. They are not stealthy unless you’re not looking up, they are loud, and if you’re trying to hit one it’s much easier than hitting, say, a bird. Airborne they may have the advantage of being mobile, but a starfighter will still have an easier time hitting them than another starfighter.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Adapt: Since each dragon from birth to maturation adapts to their specific environment, when outside of that environment they are at a disadvantage. Say one adapts to a particularly dark environment, they may develop the ability to see well in the dark but poorly in the light. Or if they develop a particular color scale to remain safe while resting in one area, they may stick out like a sore thumb anywhere else.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Minfilia Dragons: Minfilia dragons are much softer scaled, lack the ability to produce their Force breath weapon, and the size and power to be much of a threat. Runt of the litter they have to be smart to survive rather than powerful.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Diet: Omnivore[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Communication: Vanquo dragons communicate primarily by telepathy and body language, possessing no ability to vocalize any known language. They can roar though, and make sounds that possess innate meaning such as a whimper.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Technology level: They do not possess any technology of their own, any technology they would have access to would be from another species and assisted in it's uses. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Religion/Beliefs: The Hierarchy of the Alpha. In how few their numbers span from the days of old the dragons are no longer many alphas of different hives. There is just one, the dragons trust in it's guidance to know what is best although they are not forced to do what the Alpha says or does. Long as they follow the rules to ensure their kind never come close to extinction. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]General behavior: Each dragon is unique in every way, some are territorial and want to be left alone and choose not to mate and are extremely aggressive, while others are shy and passive and friendly or playful beasts. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]The same can be said about how they raise their young as well, Some are more brutal and aggressive in how they raise their children while others are more gentle in how they teach and discipline their children, It doesn't matter what the time of day is for them to hunt or not it’s more whenever they feel like it.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]In some ways this variance of behavior resembles most sentient species of the modern day, namely humans. The main general trend is their desire not to see their kind die out, and find their own way to protect their kind. With few exceptions they are at the least somewhat communal in this sense.[/SIZE]
