The dragons of the ruqhnah
world were once large, fearsome creatures that roamed the forests and
mountains. Seven different breeds of dragons were present on the ruqhnah
homeworld until the time of the Second
War of Power. To Dragonian researches and animal researchers it would
appear that some of the dragon breeds were not naitive to their homeworld.
The coloured dragons and fire wyrms appear to have been naitive
while the larger metallic dragons seem to have origianally come from
some other
place or dimension. |

The sentiant metallic dragons
inhabiting the world eventually calmed their feral kind and taught
the developing ruqhnah tribes how to tame and train the different dragon
breeds in their regions of the world. On the Western
Continent winged dragons roamed while smaller wingless fire wyrms
lived in the forests west of the Icatia Mountains on the Eastern
Continent. Aside from flight another difference between dragons
and the fire wyrms is while there are three different species of dragons;
red,
blue and green, there is only one species of fire wyrm, red.
Compared to the ruqhnah the dragons are significantly larger in size

As suggested in the image dragonriders
ride in a saddle slung around the lower neck of the dragon. Reins attach
to horns on the head of the dragon allowing the rider to direct the dragon,
although this is only used early on since dragons and their riders somehow
evolve a type of empathic link allowing them to communicate with each other.

The head of a dragon is
a well armed and armoured portion of the body. Hard bone encompasses
much of the top of the dragon's head while several boney spikes form
a ring of protection around the dragon's neck. Two smaller boney spikes
grow out just above the two nostrol on the dragon's head while a single
horn
forms in the middle of the creature's snout. Two smaller additional horns
grow out from the chin, just at the edge of the mouth.

As large as
they are the dragons have large, strong wings that are able to carry
them several hundred
pounds of additianal wieght be it rider or prey. The wing has a single
spike and four small boney supports meaning it was at one point an arm
that evolved
into a wing, something else that seperates them from fire wyrms since
their extra arms evolved away.
