Air Info
General
All
Air dragons have wings and two sets of limbs. They are all capable of flight
and can often be seen soaring over the continent. Due to their keen eyes and
astonishing speed they are often used as watchers to guard the entire
Northern Continent against raids and attacks. Especially the larger kinds,
Storm and Electric can venture far out into the see keeping sky above the
ocean free of drak dragons.
Most Air dragons are loners, in fact only Butterflies live in large groups.
They all like their freedom and don't much like to be ordered about.
Air dragons live high in the mountains, mostly in nests which are almost
impregnable. To protect their nests and hunt for food the Air dragons use
their elemental gifts which include power over fog, tempest and wind.
Types
1. Air
Appearance:
Air Dragons are medium sized Dragons with large, feathery wings. They have a
blue body and bright yellow eyes. On their head are little
wings they use for precise navigating.
Air Dragons live on mountain peaks. When they are old enough they choose
a life mate and build a nest of soft spring
grass with him/her for their eggs. These nests are only
abandoned if one of the partners dies. The grass serves as food for the
newborn dragons.
Personality:
Air Dragons love to be alone, although they can't live without a mate.
They will give all their love to that special someone. They can be quite
tender and gentle with their mates though no-one has ever used the
word passion to describe the love between two Air Dragons. They are very calm and won't throw
themselves in any danger without
thinking of all the consequences.

Medium
2. Butterfly
Appearance:
Butterflies can be found in all colours of the rainbow, most are one
single colour with a wavy pattern. Some crosses with other air dragons
have been known to produce duo- and even tritoned beauties. One of their
most resilient traits are their feelers that get passed on to each of
their offspring (mixed or pure). Without it they wouldn't be able to
find their way back home.
Butterflies live in swarms at the edge of the forest, they need
flower fields to
survive.
Personality:
Butterfly Dragons are cheerful and optimistic breed of dragons.
They like to play and frolic in skies and forests alike, mostly in
group but sometimes solitary too.
Butterfly dragons live in symbioses with Flower dragons. The flower
fields alone aren't enough to feed the butterflies, but the flower
dragons that live there bear flowers a hundred times the size of
regular flowers. In return the butterfly dragons ensure that the
flowers on the Flower dragons stay alive and groomed.

Small
3. Parrot
Appearance:
Parrot Dragons come in a range of different colours. The images on
the left is an example of a blue-yellow ara. The most common colours
however are the red-blue and blue-yellow aras. The least common are the
mixes with other air dragons. But all the parrots have at least one
thing in common. Their eyes are always purple.
Aras live around the temple, singing and chatting with the spirit
dragons, showing their plumage to all who pass.
Parrot dragons really love the garden around the temple because it is
the source of their main food supply. A small forest of cherry
trees is enchanted to always bear fruit there. Other food
they like includes seeds and bugs.
Personality:
Parrot dragons are rather vain. But everyone has to agree their
colours do light up a room. They like to spend their days in the
garden around the temple showing of their brightly coloured wings and
sweet voices.
Since they are rather small they can ride the larger dragons and often
do. If treated right (read: praised) they will gladly rid any dragon
of parasites and dirt.
Size:
Small
4. Cloud
Appearance:
Cloud dragons are very calm and relaxed. They are so light they can
actually sleep on passing clouds without problem. Their skin colour
can range from the sunset pinks and reds to the night-time grey and
black, but most are a shade of blue. They have sharp razor-like wings
that can be folded back for fast declines or folded out to slow
down.
Clouds aren't equipped to fight. Only their wings would pose a threat.
They are however camouflaged by cloud-like feathers on their head and
tail.
As their name suggests they do everything in the clouds. They also eat
clouds,
but generally like some variety
in their diet when they are bonded to a human.
Personality:
Cloud
dragons are very easygoing. They are easy to win over and they are
very loyal to their friends. Never has a Cloud betrayed one of it's
friend.
When a Cloud dragon meets another in the sky three things might
happen. A) the Cloud hides, B) the Cloud engages in a friendly pose or
C) the Cloud hits the other with a fog so dense they can escape
without being noticed. What they do depends largely on age and mood.
Cloud dragons are especially friendly around their adolescence and in
the morning, right after sunrise.
Size:
Medium
5. Storm
Appearance:
Storm dragons are very dark and gloomy in
appearance. Their bodies
are the dark night-time grey with blue-black hair and wings, swirling with
lighter greys. Their eyes are a fiery orange, burning at whomever they
are looking at.
Storm dragons live all over the mountains and surroundings. They mostly
live alone though sometimes they may form small groups for protection or
food. They hunt the skies at dusk and twilight, snatching any remaining bird
out of the sky to feast on.
Personality:
Storm
Dragons can only be distinguished from the dark Southern dragons by
their temperament. They are very calm and easygoing once you get to
know them. However, if you make one wrong move, or say one wrong thing
they will pull back and cautiously watch from a distance. Their minds
are utterly stubborn and almost always working to figure out the ways
of the person/dragon in front of them.
Size:
Large
6. Electric
Appearance:
Electric Dragons are
the largest Air dragons and most likely the most noticeable. They are
bright yellow-gold with wings, hair and tail that sparkle in the light.
They have never relayed on camouflage, only on pure strength.
Electrics have the power to cause thunderstorms. Since Electrics live on
the energy brought by lightning they
gladly use it to feed. They won't object to meat,
but the lightning will sustain them longer.
Electrics almost always live in the mountains close to the sea. They
love the wide ocean with it's many storms and tempest and like to fly
out along with the Storms when they smell the rich ozon air in the
distance.
Personality:
Electric
dragons are very powerful and passionate. They are brave and hotheaded
with a great lust for feuds and vengeance.
Electrics are very traditional in their ways. To pass time they like
to duel and hold races. When the young females are ready to choose
mates the males will battle for them, ensuring only the strongest will
pair off. This is a marvellous event with lightning and energy bolting
around and even thunderstorms erupting from all the ionised particles
in the air.
