Appearance: Lava Dragons tend to be large lizard-like dragons with four legs, a long spiky tail, short stubby wings, and multicolored frills around their necks. Their frills are a source of tremendous pride for Lava Dragons. The larger and more vivid a Lava Dragon's frills are, the more handsome or beautiful and popular they are. Lava Dragons usually have many mates.

Combat: Lava Dragons prefer to remain in lava pools and lob fireballs at opponents from afar. But due to the lava that hardens around their scales, they have excellent defense.

Starting Abilities: Puff Puff! The Lava Dragon puffs out his/her frills and looses a cloud of noxious smoke, which temporarily blinds other dragons and gives the Lava Dragon a quick escape route.

Lava Spit: The Lava Dragon spits a large glob of molten lava at the foe.

Appearance: River Dragons are almost always female, and are fairly small, slender serpentine dragons with vividly colored scales, long tails, and shiny feathered wings. River Dragons are famous for being extremely beautiful and intelligent, as well as kind and gentle. The more beautiful a River Dragon, the more popular they are. The colors of their scales vary widely, and are always a combination of three or more bright colors. For example, some River Dragons have green, blue, and purple scales, while others have turquoise, green, and silver scales.

Combat: River Dragons are peaceful creatures and rarely fight. But if they need to defend themselves, they are very fast and well versed in magic. River Dragons can fly, though they would much rather swim.

Starting Abilities: Waterbreathing- This dragon can breathe underwater indefinitely and swim in both shallow and deep water. Can be passed on to children to allow other species of dragons to swim in water, that would not normally be able to. Like Lava Dragons or Boulder Dragons, for example. For this reason, River Dragons make exceptionally good mates.

Color Spray: The River Dragon looses a beam of highly concentrated multicolored water.

Appearance: This large, rocky dragon is often mistaken for a boulder or rock formation. They are four legged dragons with stubby wings and short tails, with very hard scales covered in rocks. They're actually surprisingly adorable and very affectionate creatures. Their rock-hard scales gives them extraordinary defense. Boulder Dragons are very friendly and often help out lost hikers or travelers. But they can't fly very well.

Combat: Boulder Dragons can hurl large rocks at their foes from a distance, or curl up into a ball and roll over their foes at high speeds. At higher levels, they can also inflict status conditions like Burn or Sleep, and cause rocks to explode.

Starting Abilities: Camouflage- While in rocky, hilly, or mountainous terrain, the Boulder Dragon can make itself appear to be an inanimate object of some kind, like a rock, boulder, hill, etc. This makes the dragon practically undetectable.

Rolly Polly: The Boulder Dragon curls up into a ball and launches itself at a group of foes, rolling over them at high speeds to inflict damage.

Appearance: These large, slender cat-like dragons hide in dark forests and ambush prey. They are mischievous, playful, and cunning. Most Forest Dragons are dark green, brown, or black, though they tend to adopt the colors of their home forest to blend in, so snow white Forest Dragons and orange and brown Forest Dragons have also been spotted. These dragons have very long, whip-like tails that they use to strike foes from afar, and have excellent nightvision.

Combat: Forest Dragons prefer to be stealthy and silently ambush foes with their sharp, whip-like tails. If that fails, they confound their targets with lightning-quick movements and sharp claws. Forest Dragons like to make their homes in the treetops and leap down at prey. They are not very good fliers, however.

Starting Abilities: Stealth- This is a passive skill. This dragon excels at all stealth, and can camouflage itself when in its home forest.

Whip Blade: The Forest Dragon lashes out with its long, razor-sharp tail.

Appearance: These medium sized bird-like dark or golden brown dragons are covered in spikes and spikey scales, and have long wings and a long, curved tail with a triangle point at the tip. They have claws on their wings that they use to walk on, but actually only have two legs, which are their hind legs. These dragons are extremely fast fliers, and are adept at flying over long distances and agile maneuvering, however they cannot swim at all and tend to tire easily. Spike-Tail Dragons are mostly solitary creatures, but are very loyal. They only have one mate and they mate for life.

Combat: Spike-Tail Dragons prefer to fight from the air, hurling spikes at their foes with tremendous velocity. Their spikey scales always regrow, and regrow very quickly, which make them natural weapons. Spike-Tail Dragons can see in the dark very well, though not as well as Forest Dragons.

Starting Abilities: Dive Bomb- The Spike-Tail Dragon dives out of the sky at great speed, slamming into a foe with tremendous force.

Spike Toss: The Spike-Tail Dragon hurls several sharp spikes at a foe. This attack has a very long range.
