True Dragon:
True Dragons or just Dragons are massive dinosaur-like reptiles with 4 legs, large bat-like wings, and a serpentine tail. On some worlds they may have Scales while on other worlds they will have Fur instead. They can develop extra large scale plate like armor and even smaller horns and spikes over the back and edges of the scales. The True Dragon breathes Dragon Fire, a magical fire breath attack which can burn all targets in the cone area as the breath spreads outwards. As dragons age their breath attack grows stronger as does their resistances and abilities. Dragon fire is also changed and manipulated based on what type of Dragon it is. Dragons develop their colors through the main type of magic spells they learn and know, the more types of magic they use the more shimmering they become. It is said seeing a shimmering dragon is a sign of the countless types of spells which are casted at someone. Generally when a dragon begins to learn most types of magic they turn into a black dragon with black scales or fur to signify their use of majority or all magic element types.

The True Dragons Humanoid Form is a frail light skinned person featuring their bat wings, dragon horns, dragon nail claws, and a smaller dragon tail. Their eyes change to the color of their dragon bodies showing what magic they can use in their Humanoid Form.

Hydra:
The Hydra are large dinosaur-like reptiles with 4 legs, large bat-like wings, and a serpentine tail. They develop extra large scale plate like armor and spikes over the back and edges of the scales. They begin to undergo a mutation caused by the ingestion of dense amounts of magic. They lose their wings and most of their power as their body begins to change and readjust itself, this has caused new dragon heads to sprout from the body and begin to grow. The new heads are smaller and need more space and power to grow so the front of the body begins to enlarge as the back begins to narrow greatly into the rear legs then tail. The more they consume, the more they grow and they can be described by the number of heads they have. They grow their new heads in pairs of 2 around the outside or when one is destroyed. It will prioritize regenerating a lost head from the head socket over growing 2 new heads. The heads begin to develop magic abilities and they can even use their Dragon Breath which can be used separately by each head. As Hydras grow they begin to develop different organs to allow them to survive in the water and underground making them extremely hard to find and kill. When wounded their heads will retreat away putting fresh heads to the front while it heals the wounded ones in the back. On some worlds Hydras carry their eggs inside of their bodies ready to hatch at a moments notice, the longer they are inside their egg the stronger and more developed they can become. An ancient Hydra may lay large eggs which after decades of growth will hatch into large 3 headed Hydras which flee the area to not be eaten and start their own new lives. Although there is no sealing to the number of heads a Hydra can have, the most ever recorded in the Astarian Empire is the 19 Headed Hydra which acts as a massive underground or swamp infested monster of many serpent dragon heads to fight at one time.

Wyverns are vicious territorial pack hunting aerial combat specialists who will easily shred a dragon if their flock gets close. Due to their smaller size and ease of use as mounts, many of them become Wyvern Rider Mounts as they will always be loved and taken care of as a pet for Wyvern Riders. So long as they receive affection, attention, love, and food they will be loyal servants and friends as they see everything as a food source and just need the permission to eat.

It takes 8 months to develop and grow a Wyvern offspring which is then pushed out as a massive egg which will stay at the home and continue to grow until it is hatched. Specialists in Wyvern anatomy will visit and check up on the children and to make any magical adjustments to ensure a good clean birth, although they have no names it is common for the Wyvern to then abandon their child to the flock and return to their normal everyday lives.
