Cosmic Dragons
General info:Rarely seen, even among other dragons, it is often assumed that cosmic dragons are shy creatures and reclusive by nature. They however would vehemently deny this, stating that it is not their fault if others do not enjoy the high altitudes as they do, or cannot understand their chosen subjects of conversation. The scientists and astronomers of the dragon world, they like to think of themselves as the inspiration for discovery, and if given the chance would likely even take credit for the theories of other scientists such as Einstein, Newton, and Steve Hawking.
Though generally aloof, should a cosmic dragon find you share the same interests, you will never be able to get rid of them (whether this is good or bad is a matter of some debate). Proud (some might say boastful), curious, and extremely intelligent, the cosmic dragon makes up for it's light build and limited physical strength with agility, grace, and strategy.
Territory: Cosmic dragons make their homes in the highest mountains they can find, the higher the altitude (and thus closer to the stars) the better. They usually form colonies of 10 - 30 individuals, with colonies coming together/communicating multiple times throughout the year. Young dragons (both male and female) usually leave the colony of their birth either to form their own colony or join another. Solitary dragons are uncommon, but not unheard of.
Breath:Cosmic dragons are unique as a race, seeming to be capable of using a great variety of elements. The cosmic dragon's breath weapon is made of plasma, an element capable of taking multiple forms.
This plasma can appear as freezing crystals, flames, lightning, wind, or light. However not all dragons are capable of using all forms of plasma, being a variable element plasma is difficult to control. Young dragons generally only show control over one form (though which they learn first varies among individuals), adults show greater variety as they learn higher levels control. It takes a lifetime to learn true control and mastery of all forms of plasma, only ancients reach this level.
Random facts:Silver, blue, and indigo are the most common eye color among cosmic dragons; however green, amber, gold, and rarely black are also seen.
The star pattern on every cosmic dragon is unique to that particular individual, no two are alike.
Adult dragons can fly along the edges of the outer atmosphere. It is thought that ancients can fly into space.
According to myth, cosmic dragons can pass between alternate dimensions, if you believe such things are possible.
