Caithark Dragon
"Never before had I seen such majesty, and I fear I never would again." -Kesekethan Da
The largest species of dragon upon Te'za. Stretching not hundreds of feet or meters, but miles. These creatures block out the sun as they pass over valleys and towns below. While most look upon them with general fear from their sheer size, these are often the most passive and peaceful of creatures. Favoring to dine upon the bountiful oceans of fish and other larger creatures. They rarely are involved in warring conflicts on either side and are seen as beacons of knowledge and wisdom.
