Dragon (people)

Overview

Common Names

Dragon

Dragons are mythic flying, fire-breathing beasts of great size and power. They are exceptionally intelligent, and aside from their rarity, very little else is known about their habits and abilities. Fortunately for everyone, dragons are reclusive, and seem to prefer solitude, even over the company of their own kind. It is unlikely that one would ever see a real dragon, as they have a very low global population.
