Drakon
Basic Information
Anatomy
Drakons have four legs, a detached pair of wings, and a serpentine body.
Genetics and Reproduction
Drakons are hatched through eggs. The gestational period for a drakon is seventy days. Drakons are capable of breeding from the age of twenty months, however, most are not bred before the age of three years.
Growth Rate & Stages
Drakons before the age of one are referred to as hatchlings. Drakons before the age of three are referred to as drakes. Drakons grow around a foot every month.
Drakons, generally, grow to be anywhere from 30 ft long to 50 ft long, and their height is measured in hands (4 inches) from their feet to their withers (where their neck and back meet). Most drakons measure, at the withers, anywhere from 15 hands (5 ft) to 20 hands (6 ft, 8 inches).
A drakon's wingspan is generally the same as its length. Therefore, a drakon that is 40 ft long generally has a wingspan of 40 ft.
Ecology and Habitats
Drakons prefer a hot or warm climate.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Young drakes eat chickens or small mammals. An older drakon may favor deer, cattle, or sheep.
Biological Cycle
A young drake may shed its scales four times a year. Older drakons, however, may only shed once or twice a year.
Additional Information
Geographic Origin and Distribution

Perception and Sensory Capabilities
Drakons do not have external ears like humans do. Their inner ear is attached to their jaw, allowing them to hear subtle changes through vibrations.
