Some Old Dresi History. Some of this is outdated and no longer accurate.

[sharklilly]

Dresi lore but watch as i get increasingly more distracted by other lore

Revised Midgaheim Dragon List

One day of suggestions and already the list have so many new dragons.  Why, it’s almost enough dragons!  Except no, no it’s not enough. There’s never enough.

I mean, specifically it could use more Wyrms and Wyverns, since they should be comparable in diversity to Greater Drakes.  The Greater and Lesser Drakes are in good shape though - I mean I’ll probably make more of them, but if these were the final tallies for them it’d be pretty ok.  Lindorms, Tatzelwyrms, Zilants, and Amphipteres have a low turnout, but that should be the case in the final tally anyway - though there could definitely be more of them regardless.

Suggestions - be they species prompts, names, actual dragons from folklore, what have you - are still welcome!

Overview of Dragons

Origin

Definition

Biological Facts

The Helm of Terror – the part of the skull where the horns are rooted

Dragon Fangs & Venom

Dragon venom dissolves flesh on contact before eventually combusting, working like a mix of Hollywood acid and Napalm

All dragons have a slightly different venom cocktail.  Some dragon venom ignites far faster than others.

Dracontite: a thick, hardened gland that emits a chemical that turns the venoms produced by a dragon into a volatile, combustible chemical mixture.  Sometimes called a Thor Thimble.
