Dark Mixes
-Category 3-

When some dragons mate they tend to create some rather peculiar offspring. On this page you can see what you can expect from clutches.
When 'Sneaky Evil' Dark Dragons mate, four mixed breeds are reported to be seen. It is unknown if these are all the mix breeds that exist, or if stranger dark creatures are lurking behind the corner, waiting for a chance to be brought in the world.
If two mixed breeds breed (is this still making sense?) there will of course be mixed breeds, but also any other dragon type that can have this type of breed as an offspring. Not all dragons resulting from a mix breeding will be mixed breeds by the way, there will be some dragons resembling the parents as well.

1. Wraith
Appearance: Wraiths are partly transparent grey-blue dragons that are rumoured to be spirits returned to take revenge on those that killed them. They have a dark ridge running from their head to their tail that vaguely reminds us of aquatic dragons. But they also have two diamond-shaped wings that are without a doubt air specific and two arched horns that look more as if they belong to an Earth dragon.
Personality: 
Wraith Dragons are mysterious dragons. They explain little of their actions and never let you in on their secrets and what the hell they've been doing in the middle of the night with that skull, black candles and rat corpse. Do not be afraid of them though, these spirits only seek revenge and never hurt the ones they bond.

Size:
Medium
Type: Spirit

2. Dark Heart
Appearance: Dark Hearts are blood-red dragons with a dark look to them. Their wings are black with faint red patterns that look like smears of blood. With their black hair and black wings, the two dirty-ivory horns are usually the first thing the unwary traveller sees when he encounters a dark heart. Of course, maybe this is preferred over seeing their malicious eyes, glowing faintly yellow in the dimmed light of Lyria's Southern Continent. 
Their preferred attack is laying a trap with their two-pronged, heart-shaped tail, then squeezing to death whoever is stupid enough to fall for the 'oh mommy, what a pretty heart is on the ground here, can I take it?'-scheme.

Personality: 
Dark Hearts were named not only because of their looks, also their vile temperament gave them their name. For a sneaky mix, they carry a large grudge against all those that are not of their kind. They dispise those smaller than them because they are weak, and they hate the larger because they pose a threat. This is why most Dark Hearts do not care for forming a group, and also why most Dark Hearts do not survive long. The few who do are said to be loners who are hidden at the edges of the world in dire conditions. They do not mind this, what does not kill you makes you stronger and they need the strength to take revenge...

Size:
Medium
Type: Fire

3. Shadow
Appearance: Shadows are dark, whispy dragons that can seem partly transparet at time. No-one has ever seen a shadow's true form since the strange flesh that makes up their body seems to have some paranormal qualities. For one thing shadows can grow or shrink at will, they can move through objects as long as their is a small hole or crack somewhere to enter and they even seem to be able to fly short distances, though that skill is rumoured to be a consequence of being able to stretch. All that is certain if the shadows is that they have faint grey-white glowing eyes that render people immobile if they stare directly into them. 
Personality: 
Shadows are flighty creatures who prefer to run and live to fight another day than to make a stand and die. It's save to say that most larger dragons do not have a use for them since they are inedible (how would you start eating shadow?). The only dragon who takes the trouble of catching them are the Dark magics since Shadows make excellent servants and spies. 
Shadows can be found all over the continent but mostly remain unseen for the untrained eye, camouflaged as they are in the dark half of Lyria.

Size:
Depends on their stretchyness
Type: Air

4. Lurin
Appearance: Lurin dragons are dragons with a more distinct humanoid look. They walk upright on two legs, don't have wings and preferably go around the continent wearing clothes. Little is known about where Lurin get their cloths, it might be they take them from humans but it is equally likely that they make their own clothes in little swamp-settled factories taking into consideration the small number of humans that actually venture into the swamps. They seem to have a preference for green and brown colours that fade in the swamp environment. This is not surprising considering they only want to have the little firefly caught in their wands to be visible for weary eyes.
Personality: 
Lurin dragons live to trick humans. They mostly stay silent (even if bonded), preferring to communicate with hand gestures. The wand they carry has a small orb on top in which they keep fireflies. These tiny lights lure humans deeper into the swamp then they should go, drawing them into danger, and of course make them excellent prey, what's better than a nice chunk of human now and again?

Size:
Small to Medium
Type: Water-Earth
