^ Note that I am constantly doing character development, and that this image of Gutira is bound to change eventually...
Dragons: Gutira appears to be quite special, he's grown rather fast in the first few years of his life, and he has intelligence that seems a bit much for his age. This little fact sometimes annoys Gill, as Gutira is constantly telling him how to ask for directions, or predicting when a village in the middle of nowhere won't help them. In a matter of a week after hatching, Gutira was able to fly, with wings big enough to do so. After couple weeks, he was big enough for Gill to ride.

Here's a profile with some information about Gutira:
Name: Gutira
Race: White Dragon (of the element air)
Gender: I think he's male, and he's confirmed that with while trying not to bite off my head
Length: When Gill first found him he was about two feet long from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail. After a week he was almost four feet long. After two weeks he was about seven feet, and his neck and tail quite shorter in proportion than they will grow to be.
And after a month Gutira was almost eleven feet long.
Now, at about the age of 40, which is young for a dragon, Gutira is approximately 40.5 feet in length, including his long neck and even longer tail.
Weight: I'd rather not go into how much a dragon weighs at different points in it's life...
Wingspan: When Gill first found him his wings were barely longer than his body, at about three feet. After a week they were almost eight feet wide already! After two weeks they were at the fifteen foot mark, remember, these things keep him airborne!
And after a month Gutira's wings were growing slower, at about twenty-five feet wide.
As he reaches the length of 40 feet or so, his wingspan reaches a width of approximately 70 feet. Really, if you think about it, that's about good. His wings stay folded neatly on his back when he's not flying, and are easily deployed when needed.
Wears: NOTHING! He's a dragon you goof!
Weapons: Gutira's claws and teeth are all the weapons he needs.

Dragons are like ducks, in some ways. They can be 'imprinted' on at birth, meaning they are joined to the first living thing (plants excluded) they see. To the person they are imprinted, as well as other dragons, they communicate through telepathy and a special bond. Only those that imprint the dragon can hear it. But, through the course of a dragons life, they may learn to speak, like Gutira did in my Equus Nox RPG...
Anyway, my whole point is that Gutira was born with knowledge untaught, and grew really fast. See?

Personality:
Gutira is constantly correcting Gill. He has more of a sense of humour than Gill, and is friendlier. He also knows how to 'play' with other people, besides sparing with Gill.
He tends to show off to girls that he suspects are flirting with Gill, and teases the elf as he does so, knowing that Gill has no interest. I have been told that my dragon has a funny personality, yet I can't even explain it very well...!
I suppose Gutira is highly critical, and is somewhat the opposite of Gill. As he has been with Gill since he was born... He hasn't had his feelings 'hardened' by being alone, and provides good conversation for Gill. He's softened Gill quite a bit...
|
Likes: Other dragons. People with cool magical abilities. Food. Nature, trees in general. Flying. Adventuring. Sparing with Gill, or anyone really, but especially with Gill. Gill's cooking.
Bad habits: Correcting and critisizing Gill. And, uh...
|
Dislikes: Mean people, and anarchists. Bad attitudes. And rudeness... Probably some other things too.
Other abilities: Flight, good sense of smell, hearing, and the ability to tear out your guts if you do bad things...
