Dragon

Dragons (龍属) are one of the strongest races that exist in this world. They generally reside at the top of the Canaat Mountains.

Appearance
They are a reptilian race. Their bodies are covered in scales, and they have wings, claws, and fangs.

Background
The origin of dragons could be traced back to the Spirit Dragon gifted to Milim by her father, Star-King Dragon Veldanava. Unlike True Dragons, regular dragons are material lifeforms at birth. Although there's a resemblance between the two, the latter are in essence closer to dinosaurs or reptiles. After the Spirit Dragon died and became a Chaos Dragon, its essence was spread to areas high in magicule concentration, resulting in the birth of lesser dragons.

Dragon Types
Aside from regular non-elemental dragons, here are the notable ranks among dragon kind:

Arch Dragons (上位龍族) are higher level dragons that have inherited more of the Spirit Dragon's essence than regular dragons. At this stage, they are generally aligned with either of the four elemental attributes of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind. There are some exceptions, though. The Sky Dragon Rimuru encountered in Ingrassia had apparently been the result of a failed evolution into a Wind Dragon, as dragons aren't associated with the sky attribute like with elemental spirits.

Known Arch Dragons:


 * Gaia
 * Sky Dragon

Dragon King (竜王属) are the most powerful among the dragon race and are closer to semi-spiritual lifeforms. They boast intelligence on par with humans, and are able to tap into some of the original Spirit Dragon's powers. They stand at the peak of elemental dragons, with enough power to approach demon lord class. They are hard to subdue even for someone like Milim.

Known Dragon Kings:


 * Zephyrus
 * Euros
 * Notos
 * Boreas

Subspecies

 * Charybdis
 * Dragonewt
 * Lizardman
 * Zombie Dragon
