Dragon/Arch Dragon

Arch Dragons (上位龍族) are dragons that have inherited more of the essence of the original elemental dragon than their lesser dragon brethren. They are born when a large amount of "Dragon Essence" pools in areas with a similarly high amount of ambient magicules and possess a fierce power.

After living for hundreds of years and gaining wisdom close to that of a humans, it is possible for an Arch-Dragon to evolve into a Dragon Lord.

Elemental Variants
On occasion, Arch-Dragons can evolve and gain one of the four elements similar to their dragon lord brethren, with Sky Dragons of the space element being a rare mutation not normally found within their ranks. Although these Arch-Dragons are not as strong as Dragon Lords, they're still quite formidible and are Special A level monsters.
