Do NOT make an OC for this species without my permission. Well, you can make one, just don't post it without my permission.

Appearance:
Dragons are an omnivore species of monster rarely found out of 'The Hive' that can vary in size and appearance, depending on their 'class.' There are 4 separate classes, however zetas are extremely rare compared to the others.

Alpha: Alpha's are nocturnal, venomous dragons that have very thick, metallic-like scales, which are naturally red or green. They can change color and pattern, and can even camouflage, albeit a bit badly. These scales make them very heavy, and while they have wings to fly, they cant keep it up for more then a minute. They need their tail to balance, as their balance isn't very good without it, and they don't have thumbs, making them unable to wield most tools and weapons. They have four ears, which they can spin 180 degrees to pinpoint sounds. Their scales can be melted after a week of shedding to form a metal. They are generally lazy unless shocked into action, and often just fall asleep if nothing interests them. They are alert during sleep however.

Beta: Beta's are nocturnal have more powerful muscles, with weaker but lighter scales allowing flight. Their scales are usually brown or orange. Unlike alphas, they have very limited color changing capability, allowing them only to change their shades. They also have very limited fire attacks, over-doing it can cause them to faint. They often engage in 'play fights' with each other as hatchlings, and often have small battles with each other for fun, but some serious arguments can turn deadly with them.

Omega: Omega's have the lowest stats, but are easier to be friends with. They always have light blue or aqua scales, and can not fly, as their wings are smaller. They are fast, smaller, and often stunning to see in battle. Like their alpha cousins, they have ears that can spin 180 degrees, but they only have 2. They are the smallest of the 4 classes, with limited fire attack, but more then Betas. They also are slightly more resistant to fainting from it. Most, but not all, are resistant to most poisons They prefer to flee battle, but can be fast and ferocious in one. They tend to be friends with everyone, and are easily trustable.

Zeta: These rare dragons were the brutes of the classes, they grew to massive sizes, easily able to grow twice as large as other classes. While unable to fly as they are wingless, they are extremely tanky, with high health, defence, and attack. They are extremely slow, however, and are easy to dodge unless in a confined area. They see in greyscale only, and have no night vision at all, unlike the other three classes. They are easily aggravated. This class and others generally don't get along. A fight can easily turn deadly with them, and friendly zetas are few.

Every dragon has scales, which can make a click sound if they tap each other. Every class has a fire attack and wings, but only Betas can fly easily.

History
Dragons were more plentiful during the war, with Betas being aerial troops, Alpha's being the land based troops and Omega's being the messengers. There was 2 zetas back then too, simply called 'Charles' and the other refused to be named. Charles and the unnamed dragon was turned to dust in their 4th battle, after being ambushed. At this point the dragons slowly decline during the war. They retreated from their last battle, which arguably could have been the turning point in the war. After being sealed underground, they retreated to 'The Hive', leading their own government, religion and law. After a few years, adventurous dragons left The Hive, wanting to explore and stake their own lives outside of their pack-based government.

The Hive
Whilst it is called a hive, it in no way reflects a bee hive. The hive is a large underground location extended off the waterfall area. It is a rocky place, which has a high ambient temperature. It has small streams of molten rock here and their, but not they are not very common. This place is filled with dragons, mostly with no aggressiveness towards humans, even though the leaders call for the human to be captured, their soul torn out, and used to increase the power of the leader. Dragons also apparently like human flesh, so, uh, bonus to them.

Religion
Dragons have one religion, called Firesilth. They believe that there was 2 dragons, called The Originals. Both were subclasses from the legendary Titan class, The Ulder Class and the Reflath class. The Ulder class dragon was Large, with scales as Dark red as dragons blood, and the Reflath class, with scales that were like mirrors. They had a large battle, with both of them profusely bleeding. This caused the area they bled on to become fertile land. Eventually, after a full 2 days battle, the Fireth dragon fatally wounded and paralyzed the Ulder, and laid down, exhausted. It never woke up. The dust from the Fireth class dragon was the first to spread across the lands. The dust from them eventually grew into the first 2 mythical classes. The Earterus, which were brown scaled farmers and the animisters, which were camouflagic hunters. A few hours later, the Ulder dragon turned to dust, and in the few spots that remained grew into the Zeta class, and the third mythical Blois class, which were aggressive and shared their Ulders Dark red scales.

They eventually bred into many more classes which I will not put here, as there are about over 1000 ancient classes to go through in their religion. However, any dark red scaled dragon is instantly killed, in fear that they are possessed by the Ulder bloodline.
