Okay, before I say anything else, in order for this to make sense you need to understand one thing. I believe that class simply determines much of what a dragon looks like, and a given class can be any color of draconium. So, you could have a bull-class dragon that isn't green, etc. They did that in the show actually, remember the turquoise dragons in "Artha The Drac"? They were bull-classes! In later episodes, Vociferus and Spynn were riding sonic-classes, and they looked totally different! Sorta like Psi-classes with a Sky-class tail and they had hoods like cobras! *intensely wishes she could take screenshots* Watch "The Defiant" this Tuesday to see them!

So, now that we have that clear, I present to you my new class of dragon, the Aeros class.



Aeros-class dragons are not used for racing because if they run at more than 70mph. their wings will be severely damaged. In the air, however, they can reach the same speeds as other classes of dragons. Their maneuverability is not nearly as good though, so even if you flew an Aeros-class above the track, any sharp turns would be out of the question. Aeros-class dragons are strictly white-bone dragons, and are thought to be very pure. The reduced weight of white draconium is the reason they are able to get into the air without dropping off of a high ledge. Despite their purer draconium, their mag abilities are not as good as other classes, which is another reason they are not used in racing.

The large fins on the forelegs are used as horizontal stabelizers when in flight. In order to rise into the air an Aeros-class dragon will build up speed on the ground before putting on a large bust of speed as the wings are spread, often times mag-jumping forward as well. The lift takes effect within a split second, and the dragon rises hundreds of feet in only a few seconds.

Adult Aeros-classes reach five feet at the shoulder, with necks of up to seven feet, while tails reach thirteen feet. The typical wingspan is roughly fifty feet.
In regards to coloring the vast majority are very light, usually white or nearly so. What isn't white is usually similar to the five "power colors": Gold, black, blue, green and red. Thus translating to yellow-orange, grey, sky-blue, light green, and faded red, but not pink! Their patterning is always simple, anything ornate was obviously added or altered using a chromo-shifter.

Females are more common than males, though neither could really be called "common", as only two or three eggs are laid in a single clutch.




If you want to create an Aeros-class dragon, please ask first. Since they are rare I want to keep track of how many there are. And so I can bash people who have "unauthorized" ones. :lol:

Very interesting concept, glad to see you provided information about
the features of this dragon instead of just uploading the picture and leaving
us to figure things out.
Good job!

Drac dragon. It would be cool if they put some of those in the show :D

Thanks! ^_^ I added some new info at the bottom if you're interested.

That's...bloody hell, that's a lot like one of my wild white dragon classes. I talked to Sarah about them some time last year at that! Talk about independent convergance!

Though it looks like I stuck more solidly to the biology in the show and didn't give extra limbs to be wings. Either their forelimbs became wings or some of them (actually Skimmer class lightblues that developed from long term hybridization with winged whites) just had extra large fins to act like it. No fifth and sixth limbs.

(Though the more inteligent ones, they magged on bonemarks, would so propisition Tyranus Pax because he has them. In order to make the ultimate flyer, the true dragon form eventually.)

On classes, personally I think that if it's another color they get a diffrent name, unless they physically identical to another class and have that color in recent breeding history. Being big just doesn't cut it to be a bull.

Wow, wierd! ^_^

Well, the turquoises in Artha The Drac looked exactly like green Bulls aside from the coloring, soooo....

Recoloring to save on production costs. But I figure the line has to be drawn somehere.

Like there was a two legged green dragon with a brown head (the same way Cyrano has a brown head). Is it magma class? It's head is diffrent though...

Also I forget which of them has it but there's a Dragon eye with a Psy class dragon color psycadelically, like a tuqoise almost, we see him in the choosing when the eyes come for Beau. Is he a Turqoise Psy class or a black Psy class? I just am not in favour of such blurry lines.

Someone compared dragons to cars. Each maker has a couple diffrent SUVs, each named diffrently, There's Jeep Cherokee, but you can't have a Ford or Jaguar Cherokee. Even if their specs are exactly the same.

Am I making any sence at all?

Renesh - January 30, 2007 05:13 AM (GMT)
Yes, you are. ^_^ Which one were you talking about? I don't think scale color necissarily(sp?) denotes bone color, though it does provide clues. Secondaries seem to show up quite often though. I think of the green one you are talking about as a Magma-class. The class determines most of the appearance, but bone color influences it as well, thus why Turbulence and Beau-with-white-paint-stuff were both called sky-classes by DCS. Beau's big chin is indicative of brown bone color, thus most people probably assume he is a brown sky-class. Am I making any sense?



Anyway, let's just agree to disagree.
