═════════•♔• :Dragons: •♔•═════════
There are many subspecies of dragons than your stereotypical dragons with four legs and two wings. Dragons come in many appearances and are not limited to one; even the environments they live in are different from each other. No matter where you go, you'll see all forms of dragons, whether in the land, sky, or sea. Dragons have adapted themselves to fit the ever-changing world - managing to live alongside humans for centuries, be it peacefully or aggressively. Seeing a dragon is normal for people, as you'll see them in your town, in the wilderness, or traveling from one country to another. Amazingly, studies have shown that the same species of dragons are the same, but their bodies have adapted to thrive in the environment that they're in.
Normal Elements
Elements that are commonly used by all Dragons, no matter the Types. In unique circumstances, Dragons may breed with another Dragon despite having different elements, which could result in two things: the dragonlings may only inherit one element from one of their parents, or two, and very rarely, would a dragonling have the chance to inherit both elements simultaneously, creating an elemental mixture. However, elemental mixtures only happen with Normal Elements, not the Special Elements.

Special Elements
Special Elements are elements that are beyond normal and extremely rare powers for Dragons to inherit. Due to their specialty, even if Dragons with the Special Elements were to breed with Dragons with the same element as them, the chance for an offspring to inherit the Special Element would still be low and would be given a Normal Element instead. As such, encountering Dragons with Special Elements is both a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and a quick death.

Elemental Mixtures
Elemental Mixtures occur when two Dragons of the same Type have two different Normal Elements breed and rarely produce an offspring that managed to inherit both parents' elements instead of just one. Examples of Elemental Mixtures are Fire-Water, Lightning-Earth, and Acid-Ice. Dragons with Elemental Mixtures would have scale colorizations from both parents too, with an example being a dragon that has the red scales of a fire-elemental Dragon yet the secondary colors of an ice-elemental Dragon.
Six Types
Dragon Types are based on their appearances more than their actual abilities. The dragons recorded in history and documented by historians and researchers give a better picture of the various species.
Dragon and Drakes
Dragons and Drakes are scaled, reptilian creatures. Many consider them distant cousins, considering how closely related they are. In a Brood, Dragons stay close to the nests and inner territory while Drakes venture off to hunt or patrol. If there's trouble and the Drakes get overwhelmed, they'll roar an alarm call to let the Dragons back at the nest know. Once alerted, a Dragon from the brood will fly to the Drakes' location to handle the threat. It's informed the Dragons' and Drakes' appearances are different from others, depending on the element. For example, fire Dragons and Drakes have red, yellow, or orange-colored scales, while ice Dragons and Drakes have snowy white, icy blue, or gem blue scales. In short, the elements a Dragon and Drake have will deter their colors and looks.
Of course, they're different from each other two. Dragons have six limbs in total: two wings and four legs. As for Drakes, they only have four limbs: four legs. With their sizes, Drakes are often pushed around by Dragons, consistently knocked down in the pecking order. Dragons are bigger than their Drake cousins and can take them on easily if it's just one, but when there are multiple Drakes in a group, a Dragon may get overwhelmed due to the sheer numbers. Dragons are 45 feet in length and 17 feet in height. Moreover, there are reports that some dragons can grow bigger than normal, and often, the most dangerous. Drakes may be smaller than their cousins, but they're just as aggressive and act like a formidable when together. Dragons, on the other hand, tend to fight alone but would sometimes work together if the situation requires it.
Drakes will always be one-third the size of Dragons, even as they fully mature.
Wyvern and Lindwrums
Wyverns are huge winged lizards with four limbs: two back legs and two wings in the front that substitute the front legs. Their bodies tend to have a darker pigmentation, while the webbing of their wings, tails, and fins are lighter. It's an easier way to identify one another. An example is a Wyvern with a darker shade of red scales on the body, while the webbing, fin, and bladed tail have a brighter shade of red. 50 feet in length, 20 feet in height, and weighs a ton. They're mostly seen in elevated places such as mountainous or cliffy areas. Even though they're smaller than Dragons and slightly bigger than Drakes, they're feisty when needed. They're mainly solitary creatures and only interact with each other for territory or mating. It's been reported that a few Wyvern siblings would form together and share territory.
Lindwrums are dragons, well, dragon-like, creatures. They have a scaly body like the others, however, their body is more to that of a serpent. They have a head of a dragon and the front forelimbs or one. They're similar to Drakes as they're wingless and transverse the area by clawing/slithering around the place. Due to this, they're seen in bodies of freshwater, with their snake-like bodies making them fast swimmers and nimble on land. Their colorizations, behaviors, and scales are similar to those of snakes, with examples being bloodred, hypo-bloodred, and amelanistic-bloodred. A fully mature one is around 35 feet long and 10 feet high. Like Wyverns, they're solitary and only interact when needed but are highly aggressive and territorial over their claimed waterways.
Amphiptere and Wryms
Amphipteres are legless dragons with wings that are covered in bright scales and feathers or dull scales and bat-like wings. Amphipteres in the East have brighter scales and feathers like tropical birds, adding to the beauty of the region that they're in. As for the ones in the west, they're more dull colors to camouflage with their surroundings and bat-like wings to help them fly more quietly to avoid startling their prey. Although they're related, Amphipteres in the East are bigger than the ones in the rest, with a length of 45 feet and a height of 10 feet. For the Amphipteres' in the West, their length is 15 feet and 5 feet in height. Amphipteres are more approachable than the others and live together in small numbers, but one should still be wary, as they get aggressive when they're extremely hungry, or their nest is threatened.
Wyrms, Amphipteres without wings, since they lack any limbs, which gives them the most snake-like appearance, even more serpent-like than the Lindwrums. Often labeled as "massive snakes", which is true in some aspects, like the Lindwrums, they behave and slither around like snakes, but unlike Lindwrums, they aren't limited to thriving near waters. Amazingly, Wyrms are also similar to Dragons, in a way, since Wyrms have different subspecies depending on their environment. They have horns and spikes similar to Dragons, differentiating them from their serpent-like cousins, and their scales colors, and texture differ based on their elements. The size of Wyrms can be dissimilar, even with each other, so the exact numbers are uncertain. Wyrms are the smartest ones out there and would rarely attack humans, as they know humans provide less substance, but their fellow Dragons, on the other hand, are the most preferred.
═════════•♔• :Wild Dragons: •♔•═════════
Wild Dragons are much more different than Tamed Dragons behavior-wise. You'll see Dragons in almost everyone in the East and West - an everyday thing. Dragons roam the land, water, and sky. You see Dragons no matter where you travel, making it a spectacular sight for children seeing dragons for the first time. The biggest concern is when you see no Dragons - a sign that something ominous is approaching that humans are still unaware of. Wild Dragons are more prone to sickness, unlike the Tamed Dragons. With one major disease called Dragonblight, which is a flu-like disease that is contagious to other Dragons and fatal to ones with weak immunity, and a mind-altering parasitic mushroom called Berserk Shroom, which can make any Dragons that accidentally consumes it go mad with relentless anger.
Most Wild Dragons aren't highly hostile, as they prefer to keep to themselves, but there are a few exclusions where Wild Dragons would become aggressive and attack humans unprovoked.
Notable Wild Dragons
Name: Xairdinth, the Dread
Type: Dragon
Element: Darkness
Origins: East
Birthplace: The Solstrider
Age: Unknown (Est. 1350 Years Old)
Resting Place: Black Isles
Status: Deceased (Died in 209 BU)
Offspring: Possibility
A massive black dragon with four red eyes that was over 120 feet tall and 80 feet length-wise. Xairdinth had a collection of horns on its head that grew at different angles due to them overlapping and forming one massive cluster. He had four wings instead of the usual two, with the webbing of his wings badly torn and damaged - surprisingly, he could still fly with them. He actively sought out human cities to destroy them, yet he didn't do it to hunt for food but out of maliciousness. With him being a major threat to every kingdom and the Tamed Dragons, the East formed together to hunt the rampaging dragon. Xairdinith was pursued and killed on the Black Isles, where his body is still there. The skeletal body of Xairdinth is a reminder that not all dragons think the same and should still be treated cautiously.
Name: Aghoss
Type: Wyrm
Element: Ice
Origins: West
Birthplace: Glaciar Chasms
Age: 500 Years
Status: Alive
Offspring: Carvurth, the Opal
A massive female Wyrm that's over 250 feet long and weighs a ton with marvelous icy blue eyes. Aghoss had fourteen icicle-like horns in total, with the final fourteenth horn located on the top of her nose. Like other Wyrms, she doesn't have any limbs, only a snake-like body coated in plated scales of silver color with a beautiful blue iridescence. With her lack of wings and limbs, she tunnels underground and uses ravines to transverse around the region, most of the time, her movements undetected above ground. It's said that she's currently alive and living in cave systems that may or may not connect to the other regions of the West. Aghoss was hostile to only her fellow Dragons, ignoring humans entirely, as she prioritized hunting Dragons to eat as she knew humans wouldn't give her barely any nutrients.
═════════•♔• :Tamed Dragons: •♔•═════════
Tamed Dragons are Wild Dragons that were either bred and raised by the royal families, eggs that were found in the wild and were hatched then raised by humans or Wild Dragons that slowly integrated themselves into human civilization on their terms. Tamed Dragons are more welcoming than Wild Dragons and are less prone to diseases seen within Wild Dragons as they have medications/treatments to care for them. Tamed Dragons can be of different Types, and they can still retain some of their natural aggressiveness seen in Wild Dragons, like Lindwrums, who are highly aggressive and defensive when it comes to their Riders. Tamed Dragons normally don't venture far away from human towns and cities unless it's for mating season or they're out hunting for food.
Depending on the Type of Dragon, they all have different purposes. Examples are Dragons, which are the hardest to obtain and normally reserved for the royals as they're considered one of the strongest and most versatile Type out there. Not to mention, Dragons bred and raised by royals can sense royal blood, making it near impossible to ride one unless the person has a trace of royalty within them. Another example is the knights of the kingdoms, when they proved themselves worthy or at least high-ranking knights, they may be granted a Drake as mounts for patrol or on battlefields on land. One third and final example is Wyverns, which are granted to scouts, messengers, and assassins as they're one of the few naturally fast flyers.

═════════•♔• :Other Information: •♔•═════════
For this RP, the only Types available are the Dragons, nonetheless, other Types can be mentioned in the RP as either Wild or Tamed dragons as NPCs. Dragons being RPed would be capped at the age of 50 years old and a height of 28 feet.
If you want to create a Wild/Tamed Notable Dragon that could be the parent/sibling/distant relative for your Dragon for additional lore or as a possible enemy for us to encounter, then shoot me a PM.
Might add more Dragon Types whenever I am in the mood to make more. <3 If you have a Dragon Type idea, then shoot me a PM.
For the sake of the RP, only Normal Elements are allowed for now. Special Elements and Elemental Mixtures aren't allowed to be used for now until the RP further progresses.
