If you don't mind would you please be willing to tell us about other animals that exist in the Dragon Booster world? Besides Dragons we have seen Drago Slugs, Crow drags, Newts, Hydrags, the Muhortah and the remains of lots of fish. I would appreciate it to learn some more. Thank you very much for doing this Magna Draconis!

I like the ancient story of Dragon Booster, and I'm very interested about the ancient temple under Penn Stables. Can you please tell us more about the ancient temple? Are the giant-dragon statues in the Dragon Temple just decorative or they are also Temples? And if they are also temples, could it be that they were once connected together a long time ago and were a meeting place for the Original Boosters?

Is the atmopshere, gravity, years and other such things on the Dragon Booster planet much the same as ours? What's their planet called? How can Dragon City, being 20 or so miles high, not have the problem of less air, being pretty cold, less gravity etc. the higher you are? Is Sun City right in or above the clouds and thunderstorms then? Do they experience the same seasons as us, like winter and fall?

Characters and BackstoriesCould you please tell us more about Moordryd's past? He's such an interesting character and any information about his background would be a real treat. Things like how did he get Decepshun or met Cain, what happened to his mother Zulay, how does he know the secret way out of Precinct, has he been caught before? What made him who he is today. Or how did he get to be the leader of the Dragon Eye crew? I was wondering if he had to prove himself to get that position or maybe Word helped him by using his wealth and influence. I'd would even like to know his likes and dislikes, or habits. Such little things would be really great, since most of the fangirls adore him~

Armeggaddon is one of the most interesting characters in DB, his armor and his shape are very detailed and lovely. My question is that when kids like Artha and Lance can escape the shadow track in a matter of minutes, why would someone (called Legendary by Mortis) very powerful like Armeggeddon be stuck-up inside the shadow track for so long? What held him in there for so long and what was his worst fear?

We all know Beau was bred to be a gold Dragon, that I get. But how did he end up becoming the Legendary Black and Gold Dragon? I mean how did Connor manage to breed a gold Dragon that was the original one's same look and same powers? Its not too difficult to understand how he simply mixed breeds to get gold. But how did he mix breeds to get the gold dragon of legend? Does it have something to do with why Beau has the original Beau's memories on occasions? Is the present day Beau supposed to be a reincarnation of the original Beau?
-- From PyroWarriorZ

Why was Artha chosen to be the dragon booster? If it's destiny, can you explain further why destiny wanted him specifically? Was Beau consciously aware of what he was looking for in a rider? Did Beau know or suspect ahead of time that Artha was the one he wanted or was it a surprise to him when Artha climbed on and the star mark appeared?

Is Beau really the descendant of the original Beau? Were either one of his parents descendant of the original Beau too? Was Beau born with the bonemark as well or did the Dragon Priest hand it to him when they found him fit to inherit the Dragon of Legend duty?

DragonologyWhat happened to Chute's old dragon Twyster? S/he can't be too old, since Connor raised him/her. Comfortably retired? Similarly, let's say Beau chose Kitt in episode 1. What would have happened to Wyldfyr? (What happens to unwanted dragons generally?)
-- From Sarah Frost, Australia
Click for answer------------------------------
Can you provide a definitive list of which dragons are boys and which are girls among all the ones we regularly see? Mainly Wyldfyr, but we'd like to know for all the named dragons in the show, including ones like Abandonn and Tyrannis Pax. Also, the only dragon whose age we know is Beau's. Do you have ages in mind for the other dragons? Is it typically the case that the dragon's age is similar to its rider's? Propheci though seems like he's much older than Reepyr. What about the giant dragons? How long do dragons live?
-- From Liliwen, Ontario, Canada
Click for answer------------------------------
Abandonn and Tyrannis Pax are among the few giant dragons we see. How did they become so big? Are they naturally giants or were they mutated? Are there other giants around somewhere? If not where did they go?

How do you get baby dragons like Fracshun? Where are the dragon's parents? You never see their parents, and you never hear of egg-laying places. Do dragons form families and raise their own young? Where did all those baby dragon eggs come from when Morrdryd had to steal them so they could be mutated by that black draconium pod? Do the female dragons ever get pregnant?

Would you tell us more about Hydrags and their habits. Why are they loyal to Beau? And, did they play a part in the original Dragon-Human War? Have hydrags ever accepted riders like dragons do? Thank you very much!!!
-- From The Hydrag, Grants Pass, Oregon
Click for answer------------------------------
What class of dragon is the red and blue Beau? In other words, what class/draconium color do other people think he is when they see Artha racing him? Just about every other dragon on the show can be easily identified with a class of dragon, but Beau seems to be a part of his own breed, and hardly any other dragons bear a resemblance to him physically. And if he doesn't have one, can I make up something cool like "Equuis-class" or something? Because that would be so freaking Drac!

Can you tell us more about Grey dragons and Libris? We know they shed what are called exo-bones (Are these what give Libris his skeletal appearance?), that they were mass-produced by combining them with black draconium to make battle gear, and they have some sort of “balance”. What is that balance? A balance of all the draconium colors within them and if so, how does it get unbalanced? How old is Libris? Is he the last grey bone that isn’t mixed with black draconium? Do all the grey dragons have the same basic look of Libris? Can you tell us about Libris’ history a little? Did Rivett bring him to the Academy and is that how Libris got so large(the evolution process)? And Word said at the beginning of the series "by turning all dragons back to gold", yet Rivett implies that Libris was there during the original Dragon-Human war; so, did Libris just not get changed to gold, or what?

My question is this, Do Black Psi Class dragons and Orange control class dragons have the ability to communicate telepathically with their rider once they have enough of a connection? I know they form mental bonds, but just how close can they be? Do they have the ability to project thoughts or images to one another? I like to think that they can indeed communicate this way, but only when they have developed a strong enough bond. Also, anything you wish to add about Psi Class and Control class dragons would be great, thank you so very much!

If the dragons were once equal to people and as intelligent, then why can't they speak? Do all dragons understand humans? If dragons have a language of their own, then is there a reason the humans (and more specifically the Dragon Priests) haven't learned it? Was there a reason you decided to make the dragons mute in the show (e.g., you didn't want them to come off looking like Scooby Doo)?

How long will a dragon live? Do dragons mature at roughly the same rate as humans? Would a dragon be considered an adult at say age 18? Should we assume that Fracshun for instance is at roughly the same emotional and intellectual developmental level as Lance?
-- From J`Rin Tekaar and The Furox
Click for answer------------------------------
If Connor got Beau's parents to mate again, would that produce another Beau? Or would you get another gold dragon. If so why hasn't Word tried to track down Beau's parents and tried to breed a gold dragon? He could probably make another pod to turn it black like those red draconium dragons.
-- From Arrow
Click for answer------------------------------
Are class and bone color synonymous? Like, are all black-bone dragons Psi-classes and all Psi-classes black-boned dragons? Could you have blue Psi-class that has a body like a Psi-class but have blue draconium bones? Also, are scale colors always the same as/similar to a dragon's bone color?
-- From Renesh and atomicnewt2552
Click for answer------------------------------
I have a guestion about mag energy? We know that dragons can send out a mag stream from their heads, bodies and even into their rider. But is there a way that dragons can force energy into different body parts like the tail and paws? When we saw Beau and Turbulence clinging upside down in "Framed" was this an example of this, or is the mag engery a metal and magnet relationship. Thank you very much.

What are some of the defining features of each dragon bone color? Are there any? For example, what kinds of exobones (like Libris' ribs and lower forelegs) are on all grey dragons? Do all red dragons stand on two legs with long tails and the point on their chest? Do all blue dragons have small heads, the protrusions from their shoulders (do those define male/female or age?) and the specialized claws? Do all white dragons have large heads and fin-like things? Etc. Could you give me all of the official classifiers?

Past, Present and FutureI take it things aren’t as bad for dragons as they were before/during the dragon human war, due to the fact that while dragons are resisting (‘getting harder to control’) it is a spotty effect, there have been no uprisings, and Our Hero isn’t attempting to right the wrongs committed against dragons despite his catch phrase.
So, my question is this: Dragons are racers, vehicles, and labour which can be traded and bought and sold; and they are not receiving monetary compensation for this, does that not make them slaves? (That’s a rhetorical question, since that’s the definition of slavery.) If not, how do you figure? (Room and board does not count as compensation, so I really want to hear this) If so, how much (or how was it) worse was it before the dragon human war?

In "Cain's Mutany" why did Cain say "this is no longer a council of 12 it's a council of 11? Shouldn't he be adding a number not subtracting? Also, it's clearly called the council of 12 because of the 12 colors of draconium and presumably the 12 ancient draconium empires. However, the Prophets, the Mechanist and the Keepers doesn't seem to be in the council. Should it perhaps really be the council of 9, or are those crews participating in ways we don't see?

Could you please elaborate on how you envisioned the division between the various factions involved in the first Dragon-Human War? From the prelude in the first episode, it sounds like the war was strictly between dragons and humans. But the written mythology on dragonbooster.com seems to imply it was more complex than this. It talks about the various Draconium Empires being at war with each other, but it also mentions that there were allegiances as well. For example, it says that some red dragons were allies of the Dragon Booster, but we also know from "Fanning the Flames" that other red dragons like Furox fought the Dragon Booster. Further, Armeggaddon said he commanded an army of dragons, and Furox is shown with a rider, so it seems that at least some dragons other than the original Beau remained loyal to their humans. How common was this? Were there also independent dragons fighting against independent humans? It sounds like this war was a complex multi-sided conflict, but maybe I'm reading too much into it. Thanks for clarifying your vision of how the war played out.

Who originally created the Horn of Libris and why? The horn summons Libris of course, but why did someone need a way to summon him and what were they planning to do once they summoned him? Is Libris compelled to respond to the horn (i.e., does it control him) or does he do so of his own free will? Do other grey boned dragons have horns that summon them as well? Also, how did Libris manage to arrive at Moordryd's compound so quickly once he was called? Is something supernatural involved?

Do dragons have to absorb a bonemark or have a bonemark to have legendary superpowers? Beau has a bonemark, Decepshun has a bonemark, and they're both Booster dragons; so would a dragon like Cyrano, Wyldfyr and Fracshun have to absorb bonemarks to become Boosters too? Well, Wlydfyr couldn't absorb the the Furox bonemark, so I'm just wondering how that's going to work out in the end. How do they get superpowered?

Are there any other Gold-Boned Dragons left in the world besides Beau? Is Tyrannis Pax a gold dragon? He's listed as blue, but his mag energy is gold like Beau's. If he's gold, is it just the priests that get gold dragons or are there still some around after the first time all the dragons were reverted back to gold? If he's a blue dragon, how come his mag energy is gold?

Under the character section on the Furox's website, he has a list of all the characters as well as the meaning behind these names. But for the characters Kitt Raada Wonn and Parmon Sean we're not aware of what the meaning behind those names is. Can you tell us if those have a meaning we've missed? There are a few others that don't have clear references as well. Do all character names have a hidden meaning, or are some just names? Was there a reason you chose to use names with various meanings? Or are they just Easter eggs for the viewers? And how is Kitt's middle name pronounced? Is it RAY-da or RAW-da?

Racing GearI'm curious about Elite gear. If Elite gear is designed for Elite dragons, shouldn't it be larger than street gear? Supposedly Moordryd had some once, but it looked like normal gear to me in that it fit Decepshun just fine. I can't quite picture even three sets of Red Thruster Gear on Abandonn or Tyrannis Pax of the sort we see on Wyldfyr, whereas the large mag cannon Abandonn had magged in Return of Drakkus, Part 2, fit him nicely but would squash your typical dragon.

Dear Magna Draconis,
Could you please explain to us more about what actually happens in Elite Class racing? Is it all based on finishing first or is it more of a last one standing kind of thing? Mortis and Drakkus were said to be Elite Class racers yet they don't know each other's identities. Do the people in the race have to keep their identities secret so they can be more ruthless in battle because they don't know who is who? Whatever you can tell us about the races and what they have to do for them would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
