Dragon

A Dragon is one of the 12 species. It is a reptile, carnivore, and apex predator.

Appearance
Dragons have wings and fur, which can be naturally multicolored and patterned. At the age of 64, they have finished growing, and are considered adults.

Abilities
A fire dragon has the ability to blow burning fuel, and a frost dragon has the ability to blow a freezing refrigerant. A wind dragon blows miasma, a sedative poison which causes non-dragons to fall unconscious, but not die. Dragons maintain a constant internal temperature, and are completely immune to external temperature.

Dragons have the special purple aura, which has 6x magic and 6x physical. Wild dragons are as intelligent as an anthro animal, and some know how to speak.

Habitat
Most dragons live on or inside mountains, in extremely cold temperatures and high altitudes, where other animals cannot survive. Wild dragons will occasionally travel outside of mountain areas in order to hunt.

Nutrition
A dragon is an obligate carnivore, only eating meat and animal byproducts. The wild dragon is an apex predator, even eating other predators. An undisturbed population of wild dragons keeps the ratio of predator and prey normal. A lack of wild dragons will cause an overpopulation of predators.

A healthy dragon can live until around 192-256, and can live indefinitely with the Harvest. For this reason, dragons are often called immortal.

Dragons, along with therians, have the ability of the Harvest, also known as vampirism, which involves drinking all of the blood of an anthro animal, killing it. This will refill lifeforce and mana, reverse all the effects of aging, cure all disease, temporarily increase intelligence and happiness, and extend lifespan. The lifeforce in the blood is transferred to the inner aura of the dragon, who can then transfer it to others using liminal magic. This allows for resurrection.

Wind dragons can blow miasma, a potent toxic drug which can calm an animal, preventing it from running away.

Reproduction
Unlike other animals, dragons are hermaphroditic, with both male and female organs. They are reptiles - instead of giving birth, they lay an egg. A dragon can lay only one egg per fertilization.

A dragon egg has the color and patterns of the dragon that will hatch, it is also indestructible. The egg's type is unknown, it could contain one of 4 types, including Therian. The egg, regardless of incubation or outside temperature, will hatch after 1 year.

The terms mother and father do not refer to sex, but role; the father of a child provided the sperm, while the mother provided the egg. Thus, a dragon can be both a mother and a father.

Culture
Dragons are divided into three types: fire, frost, and wind. All of these types can act as the male or female. In dragon culture, frost and fire have their own roles they are expected to follow, and qualities they are expected to have, but these roles are entirely different from gender roles.

Names
A dragon has a unique mononym, which is sometimes followed by the names of the mother and father.

Misconceptions
Many other species think dragons are "omnivores", such as half-carnivores or half-herbivores. Dragons are full carnivores, and simply one of the 6 carnivore animals.

Most other animals think the Harvest doesn't exist.

Most animals (and dragons themselves) also think that dragons and therians are separate from "animals". While there may be different terminology, dragons and therian are simply another species of animal.
