Name: Dragon
Normal Life Expectancy: Immortal
Background: The English word "Dragon" is derived from the greek word 'drákōn', meaning 'serpent of huge size'. For as long as anyone can remember, the dragons and humans have clashed, multiple battles making huge blows to either race's populations. The dragons were intent on keeping their lands, the humans' intentions focused on wiping away the threat that the dragons imposed on their expansions. In the most recent slue of wars, the dragons have withdrawn to their sacred havens, keeping their existence secret.
Special Abilities: Dragons are creatures born of magic. Everything they do is immersed in the art of manipulating energy, including the fire they breathe and their flight. That being said, the species has a resistance to magic used against them, and the magic they use is raw, unbridled and powerful. Dragons have no vocal language, and use their minds to communicate with each other. Due to the layer of scales that covers most of them, it is somewhat difficult to physically harm a dragon
Disadvantages: Strip them of their magic and they are helpless. Anything anti-magical used against a dragon physically hurts them and takes away several of a dragon's abilities, including flight.
Special Customs: If, while in battle, you save a dragon's life out of kindness, the dragon must return the favour; not matter what the favour happens to be.
