🧬 Biology & Physiology

Adult dragons are immense, reptilian beasts with rippling muscle, armored scales, and mighty wings capable of lifting their vast forms into the skies. Their size varies by species—typically ranging from 30 to 60 feet in length. Their scales are not just beautiful but nearly impenetrable, offering immense resistance to both physical strikes and magical forces.

🧠 Intelligence & Behavior

Dragons are not mere beasts—they are brilliant minds. Many possess wisdom and cunning that rivals the greatest mortal scholars and tacticians. Some can even wield arcane magic. Their behaviors differ by alignment and temperament: while some are fiercely territorial loners, others enjoy manipulating or even leading societies.

🏰 Lairs & Hoards

Dragons build their lairs in remote, formidable places—craggy mountains, ancient forests, underwater caverns. Within lies their legendary hoard: a glittering cache of gold, gemstones, magical relics, and treasures gathered over centuries. These hoards are not just wealth, but a reflection of a dragon’s pride, power, and history.

🔥 Breath Weapons

A dragon’s signature ability is its devastating breath weapon, unique to its type:

1. 🔥 Fire (e.g., red dragons)
2. ❄️ Ice (white dragons)
3. ⚡ Lightning (blue dragons)
4. ☠️ Poison (green dragons)
5. 🧪 Acid (black dragons)

This power can level armies, melt stone, or scatter foes in a single exhalation.

✨ Magical Abilities

Beyond sheer physical dominance, many dragons are naturally magical. They may:

1. Cast spells
2. Shape-shift into other forms
3. Cloak their lairs with illusions
4. Control weather or natural elements
5. These abilities often mirror their elemental alignment and make them even more unpredictable and dangerous.

📚 Cultural Impact

Dragons are woven deeply into the myths, religions, and folklore of countless civilizations. Some are worshipped as deities, others feared as cataclysmic monsters, and many seen as keepers of ancient secrets. Their presence often shapes entire cultures, influencing art, tradition, and legend.

🌿 Ecological Role

As apex predators, dragons dramatically shape their environments. Their mere presence shifts the behavior of other species, from prey migration patterns to predator hierarchies. Some dragons even forge symbiotic bonds, protecting smaller creatures in exchange for tribute or service.

⚖️ Alignment & Morality

A dragon’s moral alignment deeply influences its actions:

1. Chromatic dragons (red, blue, green, black, white) → Typically evil
2. Metallic dragons (gold, silver, bronze, brass, copper) → Generally good

This contrast defines whether they are villains to be vanquished or allies to be revered.

⏳ Lifespan & Aging

Dragons live for millennia. As they age, they grow in size, power, and intellect. The eldest—ancient or great wyrms—are beings of nearly divine might, with knowledge that spans epochs. However, their immense age also brings inflexibility and stubborn pride.

🌟 In Summary

Adult dragons are awe-inspiring forces of nature, balancing brute strength, profound intellect, and magical prowess. Whether as terrifying foes or mystic mentors, they offer endless possibilities for adventure, storytelling, and worldbuilding in any fantasy realm.

Fey Magic.

Hag Dragons are created by powerful hag covens. The Hags enact a ritual using a Dragon egg of any variety to create a twisted abomination much more dangerous than any true Dragon. Once the ritual is complete, the egg hatches and a Hag Dragon wyrmling is born. It may have some features reminiscent of the Dragon egg’s original species, but they are simply a vestigial remnant of the creature's original form.

Timeless.

Unlike other Dragons, Hag Dragons do not age with the passage of time. They would theoretically remain as wyrmlings forever if it weren’t for the uncanny magical abilities they possess. Hag Dragons can only grow up by absorbing the remaining years of other creatures. By making use of their breath weapon, they not only cause other creatures to age rapidly, but allow themselves to grow incredibly fast. Unlike many other creatures, Dragons only seem to get more powerful as they age, so as the Hag Dragon increases its age it becomes incredibly dangerous in a short amount of time. Many Hags seek to exploit this Trait by keeping Hag Dragons young and easy to control, however, once a Hag Dragon is capable of breaking free from its creators it often does so in violent fashion if it was not treated with respect.

Covens.

While Hag Dragons Covens are incredibly rare, it has been theorised that should a group of them ever come together and agree to cooperate, they could form a coven. In much the same way a group of Hags in a coven become powerful in the extreme, a coven of Hag Dragons would surely be capable of Casting earth shattering rituals. Should such a coven ever arise, it could Spell doom for entire kingdoms if left unchecked.
