From the archives of the Pallium:
There are three basic types of dragons,dragon. sometimesThere are three qualifiers which are referredassociated to bythe three qualifiersdragon whichtypes. These qualifiers refer solely to theirthe the dragons' natures, and not to their physical attributes or appearance. The three qualifiers are:
Dragons are not natural creatures. They do not breathe. They possess many abilities which are biologically impossible and defy the laws of physics. For instance: they can fly. They can communicate telepathically with one another as well as with humans. Wasp dragons are the most physically dominating of the three and have a number of physical characteristics which separate them from other dragons: They range in color from green to red, orange, yellow and blue. They are cold-blooded. In appearance, they are distinctly reptilian, with thick, almost-metallic scales, and usually are adorned with numerous tusks and/or horns and occasionally a bony frill. They are much larger in size than other types of dragons. The largest dragons weigh over one hundred tons. Wasps have telepathic powers, but in this area the moths are vastly superior, which has ensured status and power to the moths, who would otherwise have been little more than push arounds. Moth dragons are less volatile than wasp dragons. Their skin is often smooth, snake-like, and in color they are generally either white or black, sometimes silver or gray and occasionally (though rarely) brown. Moths often have whiskers rather than tusks or horns. When horns or tusks do appear they are much less striking, much smaller, than those of wasps. They are warm-blooded. They are more serpentine in appearance than reptilian, with shorter appendages but a longer tail which is distinctly snake-like, often coiled or writhing. In size, moth dragons are generally half the size of the dominating wasps.Grub dragons are bred on Slate as food, as there is no other available food source on the black moon. They are called the foodbreed dragons by the dragons that consume them. Grubs are thick-bodied, with two tiny legs and arms which are essentially worthless as means of motion. Grubs are non-ambulatory. Grubs do not have wings. They are warm-blooded. In color grubs are almost exclusively gray, but occasionally they’ll have spots of paler or darker gray, considered imperfections by other dragons who rarely if ever have similar imperfections. Grubs have no powers of communication. Grubs’ only nourishment comes from a bile-like substance known as dragon’s milk, which is nursed between them. Often harvested by the ruling class dragons and can be fermented into alcohol. The concoction is not exactly poisonous to humans, but the few humans who have tasted it report that it is immensely intoxicating and even hallucinogenic. Occasionally dragons will crossbreed, as was done in the case of the Earth-bound dragon named Blair. Blair is a dragon of extremely rare qualities: she is blue,blue--a wasp characteristic, but she is also warm-blooded.warm-blooded--a moth characteristic. She is smallish in size, similar to the moths, and shares many moth attributes, such as enhanced psionics, but her appearance is entirely wasp. psionics.
