Dragon Typology

Below is a detailed outline of the physical and magical merits of each Dragon type: Water, Fire, Air, Earth, Dark, and Special.

Water Dragons

These are the dragons that can control the element of Water. They occupy the Southern region of the world, where the temperature is mild and humid.

Most Water dragons have scales in some shade of blue. Bright blue, sky blue, sea blue. Blue. Typically, water dragons are known for their swimming abilities. They are built long and sleek, their wings able to fit close to their backs to ensure less drag while swimming. These dragons are able to stay underwater for up to 20 minutes.

Water Dragons are also known for their blue eyes. When a Water Elemental is in his human form, his eyes are his natural human color, however, when he accesses his powers or allows his emotions to flare, his eyes may flash blue or turn completely. All Water Dragons in dragon form have blue eyes.

There is a variety of water control associated with these dragons. Some are very adept at controlling large quantities of water, while others specialize in freezing or boiling. No matter the specialty, all Water Dragons can move water. The Water Dragons are also known for their healing abilities. Not all can heal, but there are those who can surround their hands with water and infuse it with Light Magic, healing any wounds they come in contact with. The strongest healers and water wielders can summon water straight from the air and need no water source at hand.

Water Dragons are especially fond of the rain.

Fire Dragons

The opposite of Water dragons, these dragons control all aspects of the element Fire. They live in the East, preferring the dry air and fiery volcanos that line the coast.

Fire dragons usually come in the shades of copper and red, however there have been some exceptions to this, as some come in the color electric blue. These are usually the dragons that can summon lightning.

Fire Dragons are typically known to be the biggest of the dragons, their wing span reaching up to 50 feet. Their scales are especially impervious to any fire damage, and they can fly for very long distances. These dragons can also fluctuate their body temperatures depending on the situation. Their dragon eye color is gold.

Fire control associated with these dragons ranges: all can breathe fire, but there are some who can create exceptionally hot fire, it being a bright blue at its hottest. There are also dragons who can summon and create lightning, while others can exert control over the actual light given off by lightning and fire. Like the water healers, these light controllers are rather rare, but not unheard of. In human form, Fire Dragons can summon fire from an internal force.

Fire Dragons love the sunshine and may become especially moody on rainy days.

Air Dragons

These are the dragons that manipulate the element Air. They occupy the highly elevated regions of the North.

Air Dragons have the widest range of scale color, consisting of many shades of yellow, but also gleaming shades of gray. Air dragons are considered the most graceful of the elemental dragons, and also the best fliers. They are quick in the air, able to dodge and attack with the flick of a wing. Their wings are also able to stir air currents and summon strong winds if need be. The eye color for an Air Dragon is light gray.
