Draconis Fundamentum

The draconis fundamentum is a gland possessed only by true dragons. Attached to the heart, it is the center of elemental activity inside the dragon’s body.
All blood flowing from the heart passes through this organ before going to the body. The draconis fundamentum charges the lungs with power for a dragon’s breath weapon and also plays a major role in the dragon’s highly efficient metabolism, which converts the vast majority of whatever the creature consumes into usable energy. Blood vessels, nerves, and ducts run directly from the draconis fundamentum to the dragon’s flight muscles, charging them with enormous energy, and also to the lungs and the gizzard.
A dragon digests its food through a combination of powerful muscular action and elemental force.
They were highly sought after by alchemists and wizards.
