Main Roleplay
★ NIGHT FURY ★ - Sorry, no one gets to pick this one!
Description:
The rarest and most intelligent of the dragon species, the Night Fury is distinguished by it's dark color and piercing yellow eyes, as well as it's smaller size, heavy chest and short neck. Possessing the largest wing-to-body ratio of all dragons, it can fly higher, faster and longer than any dragon, and it's incredible power-to-weight ratio renders it capable of vertical take-off. It's unconventional fire (a semi-solid mass alight with an acetylene/oxygen flame) explodes its target on impact. Its signature attack mode is executed after sundown and from high altitude - enwrapped in it's wings, it dives like a bullet, pulling up at the last moment to deliver one precise and explosive burst... then vanishing back into the darkness. The only warning is the ballistic noise the diving Night Fury makes. Its kamikaze attack, along with its cautious behavior and analytical extraordinary success rate. To date, no Night Fury has ever been brought down.
Personality:
Reclusive, analytical, inventive, and the most intelligent of the known dragon species.
Hah! Factor:
If a night fury eats something it doesn't like, stand back. Flaming food flies fast.
Ahh! Factor:
Using night to hide its dark hide, it dives bombs villages, ships, and armies virtually unseen.
★ DEADLY NADDER ★
Description:
One of the most beautiful dragons in the world is the Deadly Nadder. It is easily recognized by the bright blue body and brilliant yellow spikes that cover it from head to tail. This colorful dragon is active any time of the day and night. Nadders are quick and agile in the air and can fly for long distances, but will almost always land before attacking. Nadders travel and raid in groups, making them especially dangerous. The Deadly Nadder isn't the largest or fastest dragon, but it possesses the hottest fire in the dragon world. The blast of a Nadder can melt steel, or turn a man to ash in seconds. But the dangers of the Nadder don't stop there. The tail of the Nadder can be whipped around, releasing a valley of giant spikes that can penetrate trees, walls, and Vikings. Also known as 'Nadder Head'.
Personality:
It is flighty, aggressive, and has a quick and explosive temper. It's vanity is evident in the generous amounts of time it spends preening itself.
Hah! Factor:
If you stand right in front of a Nadder's nose, it won't be able to see you. Don't sneeze!
Ahh! Factor:
Without warning the prickly Nadder can whip hundreds of sharp spines at you from it's tail. Better play nice.
★ GRONCKLE ★
Description:
One of the toughest dragons in our world is the Gronckle. Gronckles have gigantic heads, short bodies, and round tails. Gronckles are lazy, and spend most of their time sleeping in communal heaps. They have even been known to fall asleep while flying, walking only when they crash into the ocean or the side of a mountain. Gronckles have relatively small wings that beat as fast as a hummingbird's. They are slow in the air but make up for this with their maneuverability. A Gronckle can fly backwards, sideways, and even hover. Gronckles attack from the air, where their primary weapons is most effective. Gronckles chew rocks, melting them in their bellies and firing them as balls of molten lava.
Personality:
It is relentless, stubborn, and direct like a compact berserk rhino, yet very loyal to it's rider.
Hah! Factor:
Good luck waking up a Gronckle. They've been known to sleep through hail-storms.
Ahh! Factor:
It's tail expands like a ram and will give you a nasty bonk on the head if you make it mad.
★ MONSTROUS NIGHTMARE ★
Description:
No dragon is more ferocious, or feared than the Monstrous Nightmare. This gigantic dragon has a long, snakelike neck and tail, and is covered with red scaled and long sharp spines. The Nightmare's gigantic head and mouth can swallow Viking's whole. This dragon can attack any time of the day or night, from the air or ground. It is highly aggressive and will never run from a fight. Its fire is thick and stick, clinking to walls and running down hills like a flaming river. The Nightmare also has a nasty habit of setting itself on fire.
Personality:
Violent, stubborn, and tenacious. In battle, it's the fist to arrive and the last to leave.
Hah! Factor:
Has a tendency to spit fire at off times, unintentionally, like coughing, sneezing, and laughing.
Ahh! Factor:
Its attack strategy is to coat itself in fire, and attack you as it's flaming from nose to tail.
★ HIDEOUS ZIPPELBACK ★
Description:
Of all dragons that inhabit our world, the most unusual and dangerous is the Hideous Zippelback. The Zippelback is one of the largest dragons you'll ever encounter. It is unmistakable with it's twin heads. The Heads are distinct, with separate thoughts and different personalities. Like most dragons, Zippelbacks can fly, but their wings are small and they spend most of their time on the ground. Zippelbacks are solitary, preferring to hunt alone. They come out after sundown, prowling dark forests for their victims. The attack of the Zippelback is like no other. Instead of breathing fire, a Zippel makes explosions. One head breathes gas, and the other head... lights it.
Personality:
This evasive, devious dragon can be a very slithery and tricky opponent. Its two heads can work in a tandem, (when they want to), to outsmart and attack any foe.
Hah! Factor:
The two heads are distinct and do not share the same thoughts. When arguing with itself, the entire beast can stall out, making it completely vulnerable to attack.
Ahh! Factor:
One head produces gas while the other creates a spark. When the two heads combine, it creates a massive explosion of fire.
★ TERRIBLE TERROR ★
Description:
Smallest of the dragons is the Terrible Terror. This tiny menace is unmistakable, with a small snakelike body and tiny wings. Terrors can be found roosting in the rafters of Viking barns and under the floorboards of Viking houses. Though a single terror is too small to carry away a sheep or inflict much damage to a Viking, they are usually found in flocks. The largest on record was a mob of Terrors over two hundred strong. In those numbers even the strongest Viking can be overwhelmed, and the biggest sheep can be stolen.
Personality:
Inquisitive and curious animals, their only downfall is their territorial in-fighting.
Hah! Factor:
They expand most of their energy fighting and competing with one another like bickering siblings.
Ahh! Factor:
Though small, their fire blasts are so pin-point accurate they're more like sniper bullets than flame throwers.
★ Anyone who picks this species may have up to five as companion/partners
