Homebrew Dragon Species Details

Dragons hatch from eggs. Their original form is that of a classic dragon with four legs and a pair of wings and a large, lizard-like body. Dragons have the ability to shape-shift, and often take on the form of a human.

They do not age in a traditional sense. For these creatures, their ability to comprehend the world around them controls their physical age and their ability to utilize their unique powers.

A Dragon with low understanding will appear as a child or or a pre-teen, while a Dragon with great understanding will take on the appearance of an adult. Dragons can live for hundreds of years, and whether they even can die of old age is unknown. How to kill a Dragon is also unknown.

Dragon do not possess the ability to lie or break a promise. A Dragon's promise is said to be equivalent to a Universal Truth. If a Dragon gives someone their word, they keep it no matter how inconvenient their promise becomes, so long as they remember said promise. The Eastern Continent figured out this aspect of the Dragons' nature and took advantage of them, eventually driving the Dragons there to flee to the Western Continent to escape them.

In the Eastern Continent, there are people known to hunt Dragons. They use whatever pieces of a Dragon's horn they are able to collect during battle and use those pieces to make the bows that are given to the Oni. The mana still stored inside the horn fragments make the bows more powerful.

There are Dragons in the Central Continent as well, but they are skilled at blending in and manipulating information about themselves. Because of this, the majority of the people living there believe that Dragons do not exist.
