Types of Dragon-kind

Hidrae

Full-sized dragon shifters, known to be the most powerful of their kind. They can shift into dragons as large as those of ancient times. They are highly common, and so far the only known hidrae are a handful of nobles, and those of the royal family. They also bear the traits of drerkyn when they half shift.

Draerin

They can shift into dragons as well, albeit of a variety much smaller than hidrae. They also bear the traits of drerkyn when they half shift.

Drerkyn

Dragon-kind with half-dragon forms when they shift. They can sprout wings, horns, and talons.

Darmar

The weakest dragon-kind, only able to bear superficial traits when they shift, such as yellow eyes or patches of scales. They have slightly stronger constitutions than humans. They used to be rare, but have become numerous over the last thousand years, since they have higher birth rates.
