Dragon

When the world had just been born, and before it even gained its name, there was a Dragon.

Both mythical beasts and renowned scholars and strategists, these scaly creatures are not regarded only as superstition. Dragons are thought to having been the first intelligent creatures to reach Altaros and settle down into the brand new world. Even if now gone, one can find numerous traces of the Great Civilization which once ruled the whole world.

Conservation Status

No one have seen real dragons in ages, even when some peasants may claim so. They have most likely seen a drake or a wyvern, which, even though distantly related to the dragons, are not the real deal. Nowadays they are thought to be extinct.
