Fire Dragon
A type of Dragon that separated from the Destroyer Dragon after the creation of fire by Fex, since the dragon was supposed to embody destruction and the fire was a form of destruction.
As a form of the Destroyer Dragon, they have many things in common, such as the condition under which they will transform into a Black Dragon, which is that they accept help in destroying something.
Basic Information
Genetics and Reproduction
Fire dragons will seek out other fire dragons during abnormally hot summers and attempt to mate with other red dragons through spectacles of fire, and then the female will travel to a very hot place and lay their eggs there.
Growth Rate & Stages
They grow faster than other Dragons, reaching adulthood in only a couple centuries.
Ecology and Habitats
They crave heat, so they either will settle in a an already hot area, like deserts or volcanoes, or will scorch the area of its lair, creating a warm location for itself, sometimes allowing them to live in cold climates.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Can eat most types of meat, which they prefer raw. They hunt by prowling the area around their lair and pouncing on them. If they can swallow their prey whole, they will. They prefer challenging opponents. Older dragons sometimes have cults, which will protect them during hibernations where the cultists find monsters that will be a challenge for them.
Biological Cycle
Will hibernate through times of cold or food shortages. During this hibernation, they can subsist on nearly nothing, and often have set triggers that will wake them up.
Additional Information
Social Structure
The more powerful a fire dragon, the more respected. They will often determine this through mock battles, fighting for a few seconds until one backs down. If one insults another, they are not objected to killing each other, and the victor will not be challenged until they have healed.

Domesticated fire dragons are usually used in gladiator fights and killed while young.

Beauty Ideals
The brighter and more colorful the fire they create, the more beautiful they are considered, although the definition of beautiful changes based on the area. For example, a fire dragon who lives in a mountain might prefer a blue fire, while those that live in a desert may prefer a golden fire.
