Wildlife Species for #Voleros-Saga
Feel free to use these guys in drawings and things. If you want one for your character just ask, but only characters in Elavernis please (it's not warm enough for them to live in Risohili or Lumeria, and it's too hot for them to stay in Alora for long). ;v;

GENERAL INFO
Name: Milesian Dragon
Group: Pseudo-dragon
Lifespan: 100-110 years
Size: Averaged 11.5 feet
Color variations: Yellow, Blue, White
*The gene for yellow and blue scales are co-dominant, while the gene for white scales is recessive.
Diet: Fresh/dried meat, tree bark, pet food
Habitat: Unique to Elavernis - Sunrise Point
Population: 5 in captivity; 8 in the wild

BREEDING INFO
Mating pattern: There is no evident mating pattern in this species. Males appear to have a brighter scale sheen during these periods, but females do not have any notable changes in both behavior or appearance.

Litter size: One egg is most common. There is an 8% chance of having two eggs, and a 1% chance of having three.

Breeding: Female dragons are picky, and will only consider a mate once they are presented with a gift they deem worthy. Then, the two will embark on a hunt to assure that they are capable of working together.

GENDER DIFFERENCES
Appearance: Females possess slightly longer horns, while males possess longer tails.
Size: Females are larger than males.
♂ Averaged 10 feet; largest recorded 16 feet
♀ Averaged 12 feet; largest recorded 21 feet
Nature: Females tend to be more aggressive than males, but it really depends on their personality.

ABOUT
Milesian dragons (literally translated as "from the stars") are believed to be creatures who had descended from the stars long ago, hence their name. At one time, they were very common in Elavernis, and it was considered to be good luck to see one.

As hatchlings, Milesian Dragons possess very small wings and well-developed forelegs. As they age, their wings develop and become more muscular, while their forelimbs disappear in exchange. Scientists were unsure what to classify this species as due to having the traits of a dragon at birth, but the traits of a wyvern at adulthood. Therefore, they have been deemed as pseudo-dragons (false dragons).

They have bio luminescent scales that glow during the night. Due to this, people often mistake them as shooting stars or comets when they fly, which is also their primary method of camouflage.

They are coveted by warriors and members of the military for their exemplary strength and loyalty, as well as the fact that they can be mounted for combat. They are capable of breathing fire as a last resort, but this ability can become unusable if their hydrogen pouches are damaged. (They produce hydrogen through digestion and light it by grinding their teeth and producing sparks).

However, after the event of the black sun, the Milesian Dragon population has dwindled nearly to none, as they are being constantly hunted by sunspawn due to their scales, which make them easily seen while resting during the night.

Currently, re-population efforts are taking place in Elavernis where Milesians dragons are being bred and available for adoption to citizens, or released back into the wild under special protection.
