Homebrew Ancient Dragon of Stone Species Details

Much older than any other known species of dragon, These Dragons are less akin to an ancient dragon in terms of age and closer to a fossil. With their unique stone like scales they are much more hearted and have offense to match between their natural red lightning and their fire breath. In addition to that, having two pairs of wings grants them greater arial stability allowing them to fly through even the harshest of storms with ease and unlike modern day dragons, It is unheard of for one of these dragons to die of old age. In this age most of the original members of this race have seemingly vanished leaving behind offspring who have yet to unlock the ability to realize their true form and thus are left in the body of a humanoid although they are still very much draconic.
