Dragon Info

Longwing

  The national loyalty is British. It has HUGE wings. Its abilities are only acid spit. They can’t breath fire and we have no idea if it can fly. The members of the Longwing species are the Lily, Gentius, Excidium, and the Mortiferus dragons. Their wings are around 120 feet long, and their bodies are around 60 feet. The Longwing dragons prefer female companions to males but could not command. So, in battle, men mounted the dragons along with the female companions.

4

Regal Copper

Regal Copper dragons are very large, and are red to yellow in color. The members of the Regal Copper species are Maximus, Candeoris, Requiescat, and Laetificat. Full grown Regal Copper dragons can weight up to 50 tons and can grow up to 120 feet long. Females tend to be slightly bigger than males. All of the Regal Copper dragons are really farsighted. They are reluctant to fight smaller dragons. The Regal Copper species are rare and especially big, they rarely meet another dragon their own size. All of Regal Copper dragons have a spiny strip down their backs and males have horns that grow on their foreheads.

Yellow Reaper

The national loyalty is British. It has yellowish golden middleweights and white stripes on

the side. They are not bothered by extreme heat. They are also not picky eaters. They averagely weigh between 12 and 15 tons. Known members of this species are Immortalis, Messoria, Felicita, Chalcedony, Gladius, Cantarella, Ventiosa, Dirigion, Tharunka.  They have a  50 feet length and 80 feet wingspan.

                                                                                                                                                                                                             8

Gray Widowmaker

         The Grey Widowmaker dragon was once popular in Britain but is now very rare.They were considered poorly tempered and super aggressive. The Grey Widowmaker almost died out completely, but can be located in scotland and other areas dragons would live. The Grey Widowmaker is also related to two other breeds of dragons the Pecheur-Couronne and the Pecheur-Raye and they are in the same family. There are no known species in the Grey Widowmaker family. They are all unknown.

10

Feral

       The national loyalty is none. Its name is the Feral. Its special characteristics vary. And it has no abilities of any kind like flying, firebreathing, or anything like that, that we know of, of course. Really, Feral dragons are mixtures of all dragon breeds. People that hatched dragon eggs didn’t want their eggs to become Feral, but come out how they were supposed to come out. This happened quite a few times when men hatched Longwing dragons. We could not find a picture of the Feral dragon on the internet.

12

   Incan

       Just like the Longwing it has an ability of acid spitting. Its national loyalty is French. Not much information has been collected on this dragon species. We could not find a picture of the Incan dragon on the internet.

13

Shen Lung

         The national loyalty for Shen Lung dragons is China. The members of the Shen Lung species are Len Shung Li, Lung Shen Gai, Lung Shen Lao, Lung Shen Mei, Lung Shen Shi, and  Lung Shen Chi. Many great Chinese dragons evolved from this breed. Just like people, some of the Shen Lung breed are clever or lazy. These dragons are all different sizes, sometimes have a spiked back, and range from a blue to grey in color. In some cases, the wises Shen Lung dragons were granted the ability to mate with an Imperial dragon.

Dragon Sightings

        March 27, 2013, Island of St. Mrs. Kitts– People on the island in the eastern Caribbean have reported dragon sightings in and around the inactive volcano, Mt. Liamuiga. This is not the first time visitors to the mountain’s crater have reported weird things happening at the top. A group of tourists in October of 2012 reported seeing flames bursting and barely hearing roaring sounds from the bottom of the volcano. These sighting kind of explain why St.Kitt’s fields are always on fire.

1860, Atlantic Ocean– Some sailors saw a gigantic reptile that was bright blue and silver. He swam around the ship before the sailors’ eyes, and went underwater without a splash. His eyes were gigantic, with high pupils and a smart look on his face. His head was covered with bright blue and green skin. Even though he went under water and did not come back, he looked like he was seven meters long and on his back they could see something that resembled fins. It was serpent-like, but the sailor thought they saw legs and claw. The sailors named him Megophia.

 Predators and Prey

Predators: Snakes as in the Brown Tree Snakes, the Common Death Adder, the Lowlands Copperhead, the Red-bellied Black Snake, and the Eastern Brown Snake. Another threat to the water dragon is being run over, and humans. Here is a picture of the Brown Tree Snake.

Prey: Unknown

Here is a picture of the Brown Tree Snake.
