Dragons are a primary species in War Dragons.
Description
Typically dragons are four-legged creatures with four claws on each foot and a pair of giant wings. Their appendages are typically scaly; the wings are batlike and allow most dragons to be able to fly. Dragons usually also have long tails for aerial balance, and horns on their head that they could possibly use as terrestrial weapons (however, dragons are almost always in flight in-game). Certain dragons lack some of these basic parts, or even have extra. They come in a variety of colors.
There are several different body types that can be seen as reused. For example, Kinnara and Garuda both have long, slender wyrmlike bodies with feathery heads, the only differences being coloration.
Powers
Most dragons will shoot fire, though some will shoot some other sort of breath weapon. Their claws and wings would probably deal serious full-force damage if they were at any point on ground, but they only fight in the air. There are several different moves, or spells, that dragons can use in battle.
A compendium of the moves that dragons can perform can be found here.
Sorting Dragons
Dragons have three types of classifications that can set them apart.
Class
Dragons can be classified by what fighting class they are in. This consists of three different class types.
Sorcerer
Sorcerer dragons are magic-based and difficult to control, though powerful when used properly. Their fire is a swipe motion, and will shoot up to three fireballs at a time.
The first Sorcerer dragon you will get is Leviathan.
Hunter
Hunter dragons are speed-based and rely on stealth/quick attacks to deal multiple blows of energy, creating mass harm in short amounts of time. Their fire has to be tapped onto a target; holding your finger down on the screen will not work, so you will have to keep tapping defenses at a fast pace to deliver damage efficiently.These dragons also have a flame bar. Each time you tap the flame bar decreases. However, it will recharge over time. Here's a trick: try to put three fingers down at a time while using a Hunter. A lot of people don't know this, but you can shoot three blows of energy at the same time! (Be aware this removes three energy from your flame bar)
The first Hunter dragon you will get is Frigg(shown in the picture above).
Warrior
Warrior dragons are attack-based and deliver damage through long jets of breath, which can be held down over buildings in order to destroy them. They are a straightforward class rivalled only by Hunters, and cover a broader area. Though their vision is limited for those with larger fingers, they make up for it with their raw strength!
The first Warrior dragon you will get is Draco.
Color/Tier
In the breeding castle, dragons are classified by the color of the egg from which they hatched (lineage). There are nine different egg lineages that dragons can be sorted into:
