Dragon Typology Continued...

Dark Dragons

From what I have gathered, these dragons do not control any of the four elements. As of right now, they are holed up in the Western Territories (aka the previous home of the Earth Dragons).

Dark Dragons have scales that are pitch black. Their wings, black leather, are very strong and hard to pierce. Their scales, while not as strong as an Earth Dragon's, are also hard to puncture. It also seems that these dragons possess very superior senses in hearing, smelling, and seeing. Their eyes are a bright, glowing red.

Dark Dragons do not seem to have any special offensive powers beside their own physical ability to fight. These dragons have sharp talons, however, and all it takes is one swipe to an open wound (the dark magic must reach one's blood stream to take effect) and then it is only a matter of time before the victim turns Dark. It seems that when a dragon turns Dark, he loses all sense of who he used to be, and doesn't recognize old friends, family, or allies.

A Dark Dragon in human form retains his red eyes. They are very easy to spot. It seems that the Darks enlist the help of regular humans if they need spies. These humans are known as Shadowmen, and the past few attempts on the Heartstones have been made by these Shadowmen.

Special Dragons

A Special Dragon by definition is a dragon that does not fit into any of the above categories. They can be born into any of the four elemental divisions.

These are dragons that have control over magic or powers that do not fit the norm. They are technically mutants, but are usually highly valued by whichever dragon faction they are born into. They usually have very common colored scales, but so far history has recorded a pink dragon, orange dragon, and (most recently with the Jewel Thief) a purple dragon. In fact, the peculiar scale color of the Jewel Thief is the only telling trait that was observed during the robbery; his power and allegiance remain unknown. The eye color of a Special Dragon is usually purple, ranging from a deep, royal purple, to a light lilac.

So far, there have been only 7 Special Dragons in recorded history. Below is a list of powers exhibited by these 7 Special Dragons:

Persuasion

Telepathy

Ability to see the Future

Chameleon Scales

Ability to speak with animals

Controlling all four elements

Shape shifting (into anything)

Special dragons are typically only born to pure-blood parents, and so, even if a Special Dragon's lineage is unknown, he is still considered Royalty.

Kris sighed and ran his fingers through his hair in exhaustion.

It had taken a good thirty minutes (and most of EXO) to restrain Kyungsoo after he'd gone wild. New dragons, especially those with absolutely no training, were dangerous dragons.

Tao settled an inconspicuous hand between his shoulder blades, and Kris relaxed into the touch. Right now he wanted nothing more than to pull the boy into bed and fall asleep. He was that exhausted.
