“Go to hell, sir.”

After a week of his absence, Reginald Gladstone was finally allowed visitors in the hospital. Though it was still very limited. Blanche had offered to go with Lisette first, who had somehow managed to drag Henri with her. Lydie and Grégory were currently taking care of the kittens, who would soon be ready to go to their forever homes.

Étienne had something he had to do, so he didn't come with. Not that she expected him to. Blanche understood why, and wouldn't dream of trying to force him. It was probably for the best. Especially when the three stepped off the elevator and started making their way to the room their friend was staying in.

As they walked off the lift and made their way into the Hero's Ward, arms filled with baskets of goodies and flowers and get-well-soon cards, a loud, frustrated, tired voice rang through the halls in perfect French.

"And just what do you expect me to tell him? 'Dearest baby brother, wake up. The asshole who let you get flung off into the beyond wants to interrogate you?' He's in a medically fucking induced coma, you vainglorious buffoon. He's not waking up for at least another twelve hours at best. Another three days if we're going to be generous."

Blanche put an arm out, stopping her companions in their tracks as they stayed around the corner, just barely peaking around to see what was happening. A blessing that this floor was reserved for Heroes, and that Regi was currently the only occupant. Otherwise the argument would no doubt wake the entire ward.

In front of the room holding the patient stood two people. One was a young woman in a long mauve skirt and an oversized navy sweater, her hair barely tied back and laying over her shoulder. She looked very much like Regi, so Blanche had to assume they were related, though she wasn't entirely sure.

The other person wasn't hard to guess, however. A twelve foot tall man with the head and claws of a grizzly bear, a tail resembling a rattle snake, and horns like a mountain ram. Known to the public as Chimera Fifth, Armel Lisson was a well known terror both on and off the battlefield.

And this woman barely half his size seemed to have no problem fighting him with her words.

"We don't have three days," Armel growled. "Get him out of the coma and get him to talk."

"Do you honestly think I'm some kind of miracle worker or a goddamn ventriloquist?" The woman scoffed. "You're lucky I don't put you in a coma."

"What the hell?" Henri whispered. "Does she realize who she's up against?"

"Father, please." Another voice piped up. "Perhaps we can come back another-"

Armel turned his attention to his left, stepping back to fully look at the speaker. Blanche didn't even notice him at first. Despite the lion's head, the deer antlers, and a pair of wings, this person was barely taller than the woman. And looked fairly normal in every other aspect.

"You have no place to speak, Léandre," Armel chided. "It is your rookie mistake that caused this in the first place. Now our primary suspect has a few days head start, and our only witness to their face is out of commission. You should be grateful I even agreed to allow you to come along on patrol today."

Lisette held back a gasp. "That's Chimera Sixth. Regi was working with both of them?"

"Looks like things aren't all sunshine and rainbows in the Chimera family," Blanche mused.

Léandre winced and turned his face away. "Sorry, Sir."

The woman rolled her eyes turned to go back into the room. "I think we're done here. If Regi wakes up, I'll call you." She looked over her shoulder one last time. "Good luck on your little Quirk Candy Shopping spree. And kindly go to hell, sir.”

Armel let out a snort and continued down the hall, heading to the other end of the wing. Blanche poked her head a little further out, watching as Léandre began to follow, giving his wings a gentle flutter as he went.

For a moment, Blanche was certain the hero looked over his shoulder, giving a gentle "hush" sign.

"Should we go?" Lisette quietly asked.

Blanche sook her head. "....I think we need to visit."

Henri went slack jawed. "Seriously? And risk pissing that lady off?"

"We came all this way. May as well drop off these gifts."

Lisette shrugged and, after an aggravated sigh of reluctance, Henri followed them down the hall and into the room.

Blanche couldn't help but smile. A closer look at the woman as they arrived showed that the oversized sweater was tucked partially into the skirt, and partly fell off the shoulders. She wore a black, sleeveless, high collared top under it, pulling the look together nicely. Her dark hair seemed to start as an earthy brunette in the front, before fading to a deep, obsidian sheen on the back, much like Regi. And her amethyst eyes glowed with exhaustion and distrust.

"Pardon the intrusion," Lisette greeted. "We brought gifts."

"....you can just set them over there," the woman grumbled, nodding to the empty table under the TV as she crossed her arms. "Apologies if the little spat outside startled you. I didn't mean to raise my voice like that. Hate doing it. Everyone seems to hide when I do."

Henri stammered. "Y-you mean, you...you saw us?"

"You weren't exactly subtle." She looked him over carefully. "Insomnia, anxiety, and you're developing high blood pressure. Frequent in support designers. Might want to check in with your GP before you keel over like the twig you are."

"Excuse me?" He glared at her, eyes glowing softly as if preparing to fire. "Just who do you think you are? Dr. Big Tits?"

"Yes. Actually, I am a doctor. A damn good one at that." She scoffed. "And I know I'm not your type, Gazer-beam, but nice try at the backhanded compliment."

Lisette held back a snicker as Henri's face turned a bright red. "Well, someone just got pegged."

"He wishes," Blanche teased.

Henri rolled his eyes and turned away. "I hate both of you."

The woman shook her head in disbelief. "I'm sorry. Who are you people?"

"Oh my. Where are my manners?" Blanche smiled pleasantly, putting everyone in the room at ease. "Blanche Gautier, and I'm a friend of your brother. The two beside me are Lisette Tellier and Henri Didier." She held out her hand lightly batting her lashes in a strategic manner that the others would easily recognize. "If I'm correct, you must be Marianne. It's a pleasure to finally meet you. Regi talks about you often."

Marianne uncrossed her arms and hesitantly accepted the gesture. "Yes, I'm Marianne Gladstone. Thank you for being my brother's friends. And for coming to visit him." She glanced between them all, studying them carefully. "Were any of you the ones who gave him medical attention?"

"No, we weren't," Henri sighed. "No idea who it was."

"Hm. Pity. I was hoping to personally thank whoever did it." She looked back to Regi, who continued to sleep peacefully. "Whoever it was has the makings of a great doctor. If they hadn't done what they did…."

Lisette reached into her hoodie, carefully pulling out a bundle of grey fur. "You seem tense. Would petting Grumps help?"

Grumps let out a soft yawn, seemingly indifferent to the tension of the room.

For the first time since they arrived, Marianne smiled, and gave the cat a gentle scratch under the chin. "Aren't you a cutie? Regi's probably a big fan of you. He adores cats as much as he does dogs."

Blanche glanced over at Regi, taking in the sight. There were IVs hooked into both arms, and an oxygen mask over his usually smiling face. He seemed paler than usual. Yet still peaceful, like the few times she'd seen him doze off during a late night study session. His hair seemed to have been brushed, laying out and over the pillow, away from all the medical equipment. A hairbrush lay on the bedside table, along with a few hair ties.

I guess she was in the middle of tending to that before being rudely interrupted.

Henri, after finally recollecting himself, returned his attention to Marianne. "Any idea what exactly happened? We only know that he was injured."

Marianne's smile quickly faded and she slowly pulled away from them, walking over to the window and gazing out at the city. "...It was supposed to be a regular night time patrol. That was the last thing Regi said to me before I had to return to work. We'd been on a phone call. I was due for surgery. Triple bypass." Her breath shook. "I can't go into details on how I know, but....later that night, after I had gotten home, a friend of mine showed up. Explained that Regi had gotten involved in a fight when both the Chimeras were chasing a suspect in a string of kidnappings. Sixth managed to demask him before being knocked out, and Regi was going to get him out of there when the suspect turned a weapon on him. Fifth went in for a killing strike in a fit of rage, and Regi tried to get him to stop. One thing lead to another and Regi got flung halfway across town. The suspect got away when Fifth was tending to Sixth." Her eyes were damp as the taste of saltwater slowly danced in the air. "Can't really blame Monsieur Lisson. He's overworked and overprotective. A combination I know too well."

Blanche gingerly came over, putting a hand on her shoulder. "Still doesn't help knowing he sent your brother flying, does it?"

Marianne shook her head. "No. And Regi was damn lucky a good samaritan was willing to help him. I saw the surgeon's notes and the files." She wiped the tears from her eyes. "Even though Regi didn't puncture anything vital, he still would have bled out if someone didn't get to him. Can't even imagine what we'd do if...." Her eyes darted to the reflection of Regi in the window. "The world still needs smiles like his.... Tanith still.....she still needs her big brother....."

Blanche nodded softly. "Have you had anything to eat or drink?"

She shook her head. "No. No, I've been here in this room the last 48 hours since I arrived. Barely had time to go to the hotel." She sighed quietly. "Could use a stiff, I think...."

Henri's shoulders slumped. "Then....my treat. There's a little café across the road. Makes a lovely mid-day cocktail."

Marianne turned to him in shock. "I'm sorry, I can't-"

"I can stay with Regi while you take some time to rest," Blanche assured. "Take Lisette with you both. I can call either her or Henri if anything happens."

"Please, doc." Henri smiled sadly. "Take it from a fellow big sibling. You're no good to him exhausted and dead."

After a moment of pause, Marianne nodded. "I suppose a quick lunch wouldn't hurt. But if anything happens-"

"I promise. I'll call you."

"...okay." Her shoulders finally relaxed. "Thank you."

Blanche watched as they all gathered themselves up and left, and once she was sure no one was coming in, closed the door, and counted.

One otter baby. Two otter baby. Three otter baby. Four otter baby. Five otter baby. Should be enough.

"You can open your eyes now. They're gone."

"....you noticed."

Blanche turned around, smiling as she saw Regi staring at her. "Your dominant hand twitches when you're waking up. Lisette was in hysterics when we first heard you were near death, but I must say, you're pretty talkative for a corpse." She went over and picked up the brush. "You don't think your sister would mind, would she?"

Regi smiled, though it was barely noticeable under the mask. "I don't think she would." His voice was coarse. Almost raw. "I'd appreciate it."

"Anything for my favorite Otter Child." She adjusted the bed and carefully set to work. "So....Mary wasn't involved in this at all?"

Regi sighed. "No, she was...kind of..." He swallowed. "Any ice chips?"

"I can call the nurse for some."

"Nah, best not. I'm supposed to be in a coma, remember?" He chuckled. "Yeah....Mary had tried to join my patrol. Took me ten minutes to send her back to her hotel. If I hadn't been delayed, I'd have been well past that spot in my patrol by the time the Chimeras showed up."

Blache nodded, gently braiding Regi's hair loosely on his side. "Best not tell your sister that yet. She would explode, I think."

"You have no idea....." His eyes glanced downward, brows pinched.

"....I know that look, Reginald Gladstone," she cooed. "What are you thinking?"

"....Can I ask a favor, Blanche?"

"Can you?"

"May I?"

"You may."

He tried not to laugh. "Mari's an overworkaholic in every sense of the word....and a worry wart worse than me. Worse than Henri." Regi looked her in the eye. "She's never been to Paris, either. Only been to France once for a medical conference, but that was in Cannes, and only for a day. She never had a chance to enjoy herself."

Blanche's hand stalled. "Are you asking what I believe you are going to ask?"

"....would you make sure she enjoys herself?" Regi asked earnestly. "She probably is using some of her unused sick leave or vacation time for this. She wouldn't take time off for leisure unless forced. I don't...I don't want her only memories of Paris being of me in a hospital room..."

"Oh, honey." Blanche smiled sweetly. "It'd be my pleasure. Especially since I want that jam recipe of hers."

Meet the Dragons of Mythika.

Meet the Dragons of Mythika.

In these upcoming weeks I’m going to post all the main-groups of creatures from Mythika in the group they belong to, with all the information about them I have made up so far.   NOTE that this about the creatures in Mythika and they change a lot with the real mythology, mostly their appearance is the same, but the abilities and behavior is changed. I keep saying this to avoid complications.

Group five are the powerful Dragons, together with the Deities and Titans the oldest inhabitants of Mythika. Dragons are ancient beings, mostly wise and large and very magical and powerful at the same time. Though Dragons come in all sizes imaginable from the enormous Zirnitra to the very tiny Pyrausta. Most dragons have a form of breath-weapon that sets them apart from the other dragons, but there are also lesser dragons (known as drakes) that lack a breath attack, Basilisks are an example for this.

Most other creatures avoid dragons as they fear them, others hunt dragon eggs, and Ichneumon even feed primarily on dragon eggs and hearts, so dragons of all species fear them.

Aitvaras (Lithuanian) – Dragon / Shifter - Magical dragons bred from the eggs of ordinary chickens, Aitvaras appear as monstrous black roosters with burning tails indoors and as cockatrice-like abominations outdoors. - An Aitvaras appearance and size is always adopted to the environment it is currently in, falling in a river will grant this strange drake fins for swimming for example. - These enigmatic dragons can control the luck of other creatures, giving it an amount of good fortune or making a creatures life miserable with despair and ill omen. - When creatures meet the gaze of an Aitvaras, there is a chance the victim will be engulfed in cursed flames. - Being bitten by these creatures will curse the victim, it now takes more damage from heat and fire based damage and magic. - Aitvaras often serve powerful Hags (like Baba Yaga) as pets and familiars, Hags enjoy the Aitvaras cruel nature.

Amhuluk (Native American) – Dragon / Shifter - Very magical dragons which look like Asian Dragons or Sea Serpents with four small limbs sticking out of their snake-like bodies, two large antler-like horns grow from their dragon heads and their beautiful scales change color faster than the eye can blink, but always ranging between, gold, black red and green. - Amhuluk corrupt the lakes in which they settle, turning the waters into an mutant goo which looks like ordinary liquid, but which mutates any creature that drinks from it or which baths into it. - Creatures turned into new mutant forms will always serve the Amhuluk as it is their master, their entire memory is wiped from their brains. - The Amhuluk’s breath-weapon is a multi-colored mist which creates horrid mutations into everything it touches, even plants are not safe from this effect. - Plants around the lake of the Amhuluk have bizarre forms and colors, this mutant landscape is often the first sign you are dealing with an Amhuluk. - Many creatures and chimerae, such as the Ahuizotl, are believed to be the creations of the Amhuluk, but this hasn’t been proven. - All types of chimerae are immune to the effects of the Amhuluk, this adds to the belief they are actually it’s creations. - Non aquatic creatures that are changed by the lakes mutating magic will roam the river’s edge and protect the Amhuluk like a pack of wild dogs, they will often change victims into the lake, so more guards/slaves are created. - While their own bodies are immune to the morphing effects of their waters, they can still shift their own bodies in horrid ways, growing random horns, spikes and other bizarre features on their bodies as they please.

Asdeev (Persian) – Dragon / Shifter - Beautiful but vile dragons with a pure white pelt of fur mixed with reptilian scales that almost look like diamonds, it has a long mane of pearly hair on its head, growing all the way to the tip of their tails, mist follows them around at all times. - All Asdeev are female and they breed with the black dragons known as Zirnitra to produce offspring, they always lay two eggs, one black and one white. - Asdeev are dragons of mist, cold and crystals, their breath-weapon will release a thick mist of utter cold upon its victims and enemies. - These mysterious dragons often stalk their prey for days before they finally kill them, they can stalk prey in the form of pure mist. - For dragon standards the Asdeev is a pretty whimsy creature, they are slow to attack without knowing the weakness of their victims first. - They are hard to hit with melee weapons as they can turn their bodies into mist, even parts of their bodies which are targeted with the weapon. - Asdeev love mountain caves and are mostly found on snowy mountain tops in the deepest caves, surrounded by all types of crystals which they crave. - When killed the Asdeev will first turn into a statue of pure icy crystal, then it will explode into a nova of sharp crystals which pierce everyone that didn’t find cover. - Young Asdeev are known as Fog Drakes, they look like white, hairy wyverns and they use their mist abilities to hunt, covering parties or caravans in a thick layer of mist and attacking them one by one in assaults from cover.

Basilisk (M-European) – Dragon / Reptilian - A weaker variant of wingless drake, these six legged monstrous reptilians can appear in any type of environment, from high mountains to arid deserts and swamps. - It’s gaze is lethal to most other living creatures, it contains a powerful poison which saps the strength and will of a victim, their fangs and claws are coated with the same poison. - Because of their six magical legs the basilisk can easily climb through any type of environment, for some reason they can even walk over water without sinking in it, skinning a Basilisk and using their skin in the creation of special shoes will create Water-Walking shoes which are sold for high prizes on the Black Market. - Basilisks are the most common prey of the dragon-killing Ichneumon, which are also immune to their poison, Basilisk seldom flee, but in these encounters they mostly seek shelter on water where the Ichneumon cannot follow. - Basilisks can grow to the size of a horse, but the biggest varieties are hunted and trained by Vish Kanya, which prize the creatures for their strength and poison.

Xhumpedzkin (Mayan) – Dragon / Reptilian - A variant of the Basilisk, the Xhumpedzkin is a giant six-legged Gila Monster, with purple/pink and black banded stripes. - Unlike the Basilisk, which can live anywhere, the Xhumpedzkin only inhabits deep jungles and underground caves. - The gaze, claws, aura and fangs of these creatures possess a dangerous psychic toxic which causes extreme headaches and migraine attacks, some of which are deadly. - They also have a stinger on the end of their tails, they can sting a creatures shadow with it, the headache that follows is so severe than the creature can lose its sanity for a few hours. - Their name means “brief time” and that is all you get when you encounter such a horror. - These oversized reptilians feed on psychic stress, which they mostly find in the brains of their victims, first turning the prey crazy with headaches and then feeding on their brains is their preferred tactic. - Xhumpedzkin are one of the rare psychic creatures in Mythika.

Whowie (Australian) – Dragon / Reptilian - A very large variety of Basilisk, looking somewhat like a six legged mixture of Frilled Lizard and Monitor Lizard, these creatures mostly appear in deep caves and desert landscapes. - The fangs, claws and gaze of these creatures induce a deep fear into the minds of their victims, everything that gazes into their big eyes will be overwhelmed by primal fear. - Whowie use their large frills located around their necks, to add to their already powerful fear abilities, they mostly use it against group of attackers or bigger creatures that want to turn the Whowie into their food. - Desert dwelling Intulo sometimes befriend Whowie and ride them into battle, but some Whowie view Intulo as any other humanoid prey.

Codrille (French) – Dragon - Probably one of the more feared dragon species in Mythika, these diseased horrors spread plague and illness wherever they go. - These look like sickly colored green dragons with big crests underneath their throat, many creatures confuse them with undead dragons, as they look as if they died on some horrid dragon disease. - Their breath weapon is a cloud of flies which will carry diseases of all types with them, inflicting it on everyone within reach, the flies die within a few minutes after being released though. - Young Codrilles are known as Blight Drakes, they look like winged Basilisks, the diseases they spread are weaker, but still fatal. - Codrille are among the favorite pets of the Horseman of Pestilence, and he is probably responsible for their vile creation. - The Horseman of Pestilence rides the most ancient and powerful Codrille into battle, this Codrille is known as Taniniver. - These dragons only feed on diseases flesh, letting it rot in horrid pits or caves filled with decay and death.

Azi Sruvara (Persian) – Dragon - A more powerful variant of the Codrille, instead of diseases these yellow, horned dragons spread the most potent of venom known to the world of Mythika. - Their drool, blood and corpse will spawn all types of venomous snakes and even Seps into the area. - All types of venomous creatures will follow a Sruvara as its aura makes their own venom more potent. - Even Undead, Spirits, Elementals and Vish Kanya aren’t immune to the venom/poison of these Yellow Dragons, and it is so potent that it creates rust on metal and other constructs. - Azi Sruvara are the most poisonous and venomous creatures in the history of Mythika, nothing can beat their venom. - These creatures are found everywhere, but mostly live in Deserts, some deserts were even created by their own venom and powers. - Azi Sruvara love to poison rivers and lakes, and nothing else can amuse them more than seeing a creature die by the effect of poison. - Its breath-weapon is a cone of yellowish gas which kills everything that comes in contact with it, it turns most metal to rust instantly, Sruvara rarely use their breath weapons though, they are confident enough to think they don’t need such a weapon to beat their prey.

Haietlik (Native American) – Dragon / Sea Serpent - An evil sea serpent with a very typical spear-like head, its blue and black scales crackle with electric sparks and lightning. - These very aggressive sea serpents can grow to enormous lengths, but most of them die younger because they challenge every creature they come across. - Their heads are a bony growth shaped in the form of the tip of a spear, when they attack their enemies they turn themselves into living spears covered by lightning, shocking and piercing their prey at the same time. - They can breathe lightning at their enemies, but rarely choose to do so, as they are more into melee combat, they only use this weapon if the combat goes against them. - Haietlik are proud creatures and never flee combat, they rather die in combat that being known as a coward or weakling. - These cruel serpents enjoy catching large flying creatures by piercing them from below, they can make enormous leaps from the water, their favorite prey are Marlin, humanoids and avians of all types.

Hydra (Greek) – Dragon / Reptilian - Starting out with six heads, these wingless dragon-like reptilians are able to generate two lost heads for every head that is cut off. - Hydra’s appear like big sauropod dinosaurs, but unlike those big herbivores the Hydra only feed on flesh, and their many heads enjoy tearing other creatures apart. - The maximum heads a Hydra can gain is unknown, but specimens with over heads are reported. - These creatures have extreme regeneration abilities, most non-magical damage is regenerated instantly, and only fire and acid magic and abilities are very effective against them. - Hydra’s are often used by Vish Kanya as guard beasts, they guard the towns of Vish Kanya, these Hydra’s often have many heads from their battles with the Vish Kanya. - While the Hydra’s have a poisonous bite, the poison doesn’t have any special effects. It is still very deadly though. - They are most often encountered in swamps or jungles, but some freshwater lakes also house them.

Orochi (Japanese) – Dragon - A very dangerous variant of Hydra, each of the eight heads of this monstrous dragon holds its own magical venom. - While more powerful than any Hydra, the Orochi can only have eight heads, when cut off they don’t grow back, non-fatal wounds are regenerated just like with their Hydra cousins. - They also have a sauropod-like body, but more feral, with large spikes growing over their backs and a tail that ends in eight tentacles. - As each head has its own poison, each has its own horrid effect, the green head has the same poison as the Hydra, which adds nothing special. - The red head has a very horrid poison, this poison is similar of that of the Haemorrhois, it forces all the blood out of a body and re-opens all old scars. - The orange head will set the victim aflame, burning them from the inside, this is a very cruel and slow death. - The blue head has a very cold poison which turns the victim into an icy statue from the inside out. - The purple head’s poison will inflate the victim’s body until they explode into a carnage of viscera, blood and bones. - The yellow head has a very odd poison which will create extreme thirst in its victims, some victims become so desperate for liquid to drink, they slash their own wrists and drink their own blood as a result. - The white head will release a terrible poison upon its victims which will devour the victim from the inside out, much like an extremely nasty variant of gangrene. - The last head is black and its poison is said to turn a victim extremely hostile and aggressive, the victim often kills itself by accident in the wild rage that follows. - These creatures are also known as Chaos Hydra’s, and indeed the Chaos Deity Hundun is behind their creation, he took Hydra’s and infused them with chaotic energy.

Nidhogg (Norse) – Dragon - Wingless ancient dragons which mostly live underground, burrowing their way through the soil to feast on giant insects and the roots of giant trees. - These monstrous dragons rarely come to the surface, but when they do they cause chaos and destruction to any village unlucky enough to be in its way. - Nidhogg lack a breath weapon, but their magical abilities over roots, plants and earths are formidable enough to adjust that. - These earth dragons are seldom seen in their full form, they mostly dig only half their body through the soil and command the roots and earth to constrict and hold their prey so they teeth and claws can finish them. - Their bodies are half flesh and half wood, some scholars believe they are actual plants, but this is false, Nidhogg are among the eldest of dragons. - The World Tree Yggdrasil, which roots cover the entire world of Mythika, and which hold the world together, are mostly targeted by the Nidhogg, because of this most other creatures kill Nidhogg’s on sight when they get the chance, they are especially hated by Fae of all types.  

Pyrausta (Cyprus) – Dragon / Vermin - The smallest and weakest of all dragons, they look like mixes of insects and very small dragons, they are almost cute, but their behavior is much like their much bigger cousins very harsh and arrogant. - In the game there are two types of Pyrausta, the first are the most common Pyrausta which combine the features of very small green dragons with those of dragonflies, they mostly feed on vermin, but they also love to trick and annoy humanoids with their dangerous pranks. - Another type of Pyrausta combine the features of multi-colored tiny dragons with those of moths and butterflies. - Butterfly Pyrausta are mostly gentle creatures, though a bit vain, the Moth Pyrausta are poisonous and nasty creatures which love to see other creatures choke on their dust-like poison. - Because so many other creatures prey on Pyrausta they became very defensive, attacking everything before the enemy can attack them. - Pyrausta are often found in beautiful fae forests, playing among the evil, neutral and good natured faeries and other fae, many royal Elves and fae creatures use Pyrausta as familiars and friends. - The breath-attack of a Pyrausta is a cone of glittering dust which causes temporary blindness and an itching feeling to the skin.

Scytalis (M-European) – Dragon / Reptilian - Extremely beautiful and deadly at the same time, the Scytalis is probably the most beautiful and colorful creature alive, they look like giant cobra-like serpents with a dragon-like head, multiple cobra-like frills grow from its body. - Their beautiful scales glow and glitter with all the colors of the rainbow, changing color in every direction you look at them, as if beautiful fire burns from inside of them. - It uses its dazzling scales to bewitch its prey, making curious creatures come to it in admiration and becoming easy snacks for the dragon. - Such beauty can’t be alive without sacrifice however, and the environment these creatures live in often turns ugly and devoid of color as the dragons absorb color away from living creatures and the environment, turning it into a grey wasteland devoid of joy and color, while the Scytalis becomes more beautiful in the progress. - The environment will eventually regain its colors after a few days. - Narcissus, the Sinlord of Pride loves the colors of the Scytalis and he keeps many of these monsters as pets and guardians. - These snake-like dragons have a breath-weapon which is also very bright and colorful, it confuses any creature that is caught within it. Confused creatures have a chance to attack their own allies and behave very randomly. - The poison of an Scytalis will control any creature weaker than itself for a few hours, so these dragons often are found with other creatures which function as bodyguards.

Tiamat (Mesopotamian) – Dragon - The dragons of chaos, these two headed purple dragons have all types of chaotic features growing from their bodies, like multiple eyes, tentacles and spikes. They look much like two headed versions of this dragon: https://78.media.tumblr.com/90eb0218669752a0d239f6e4765202c4/tumblr_o8b5bnwy7u1v9qvuco1_540.jpg - These creatures come straight from the chaotic parts of the Abyss, and inside their bodies reside portals to the abyss, they can spit out minor demons from these portals which serve them or which bring chaos on the battlefields they roam. - Every creature that is bitten by one of the two heads of these female dragons is transformed into a demon over time, if not stopped in time they become a full demon. Tiamat see all other demons as their children. - The chaos aura’s of these dragons heal demons from their wounds and give demons of all types more strength and speed. - These demonic dragons are also known as Ajatar, Entropic Wyrms and they are named after the first female dragon Tiamat. - Tiamat bring chaos to any world they visit, they are among the most powerful of dragons and few creatures have the power to destroy them.   - These dragons serve Hundun the Lord of Chaos, and his will is their command, in his human forms Hundun often rides a Tiamat or Azi Dahaka. - When slain the Tiamat will implode and a portal will be spawned from its body, from which pour a lot of angry demons of all types. - The breath-weapon of a Tiamat is a chaotic gas which has lots of random effects on its victims. - Creatures swallowed whole by the Tiamat will end up in the middle of the Abyss, as they are teleported through the inner portal of the Tiamat.

Azi Dahaka (Persian) – Dragon - The male variant of the Tiamat, these look pretty much the same as the Tiamat but their scales are dark blue, black and yellow, and instead of two heads the Dahaka has three heads. - When killed the Azi Dahaka will explode and spawn an enormous swarm of monstrous lizards upon the battlefield, when this creature’s blood touches the earth the same lizards are born. - Only the middle head of this dragon can breathe chaotic gas upon its enemies, the other two heads can only attack with melee bite attacks. - This dragon is almost impossible to kill, and is the most powerful of the non-unique dragons. - From the inner portal the Azi Dahaka can summon all types of evil creatures, mostly demons but also more powerful evils and other dragons. - These chaotic dragons often serve as leaders in demonic armies, their aura’s give demons more morale and power.

Wyvern (M-European) – Dragon - Almost non-intelligent drakes which lack arms and instead have two large wings, a snake-like neck and two legs much like a reptilian bird of prey. - Wyverns are large, but they are often targeted by bigger predators. - Wyverns always feed on female flesh, they mostly ignore male enemies and target the females first, male flesh is poisonous to them. - They love swamps, forests and mountains, and are most often found there.

Vouivre (French) – Dragon - The female variant of the Wyvern, these have a beautiful and strange red ruby-like crystal placed upon their heads, and a vile poisonous stinger on the end of their long tails. - Vouivre only feed on male creatures, female flesh is poisonous to them, they often kill female creatures by stinging them with their tail stingers. - Unlike their male Wyvern counterparts, the Vouivre is very intelligent and uses her ruby crystal to lure men to their doom, they can also mimic the voice of a female human. - Vouivre live in and around lakes and rivers, washing their beautiful ruby gem every hour as they are very proud on it. - Whenever someone kills the Vouivre and takes it gem, they become very greedy and rich, fortune (with winning and gaining treasures) shines upon them. If other people see this gem however they try to steal it at all cost.

Cuelebre (Spanish) – Dragon - Whenever a Wyvern survives for 1000 years they transform into a iron cocoon and hatch a few years later as fully grown Cuelebre, only male Wyverns can undergo this transformation. - The scales of a Cuelebre are metallic and very powerful, each year they harden until they eventually turn into indestructible adamantine. - Cuelebre are also intelligent like Vouivre, and they are known to give their services as flying mounts to other evil creatures, a very powerful adamantine Cuelebre functions as the flying mount of the Horseman of War. - While they don’t have a poisonous stinger, the Cuelebre can use their tail as iron spear. - Only adamantine weapons and some powerful magic spells can hurt an adamantine Cuelebre so they are very arrogant and confident creatures in battle, attacking first and thinking strategies as the enemies are already dead. - Dactyl love the scales of these dragons, as they can make many good weapons from it and Adamantine is a very rare metal.

Zirnitra (Slavic) – Dragon / Shifter - The black dragons of magic, darkness, shadow and corruption, their black and purple scales are perfect for hiding in darkness, scheming and plotting against the world around them. - Zirnitra are the male counterparts of Asdeev, though they are a very different dragon species all together, they can only breed with the female white Asdeev. - The juvenile Zirnitra are known as Gloom Drakes or Umbral Drakes and while their abilities aren’t that powerful yet they use the shadows as cover and often plot with Bauk, Nalusa Falaya or Brollachan against the villages which border their environments. - The breath-weapon of the Zirnitra is a creeping, almost living liquid darkness which disables any vision and which attacks any source of light until only darkness remains. It does negative energy damage and gives the Zirnitra lots of benefits in battle as its enemies become blinded and weak. - Zirnitra serve the Queen of Magic Hecate, they are the only male creatures that gained Hecate’s trust, she learned a lot of darkness spells from the Zirnitra. - While Zirnitra control lots of spells, they are experts in darkness and shadow magic, all spells from this group are under their control, they can summon darkness, animate shadows, become invisible in shadow, destroy light and do a lot more.
