Description
The Hive Dragons powers vary from dragon to dragon, but many do not have any powers. These abilities are genetic and can be passed down. Hive Dragon powers include sharp stingers extending from their wrists or claws, venom in their teeth, claws or stingers, a paralyzing toxin known as nerve poison that can immobilize targets in their claws or tail stinger, spraying boiling acid from a stinger on their tails, and emitting a horrible stench said to smell like dead rotting things pickled in sulfur. Some guards were assumed by some to be able to shoot poisonous darts from their tails.
Hive Dragons paralyzing toxin is like "fire burning every nerve in your body", and as "all you want to do is run or fly or even blink, but you cannot move a single muscle until the toxin wears off" once it wears off. A Target paralyzed by Hive Dragon venom can be "unparalyzed" when given a strong stimulant.
