* Dragons usually have one or two bondlings, who they are bound to emotionally, physically, and mentally. The bondling is often a magic user that is either human or sprite. Never has a goblin or kyrill as a bondling, uncertain as to why.

* Dragons are tied directly to all four elementals, wings for the air, fire in the belly for fire, four legs for earth, and a tail and long neck to move through the water.

* Dragons form clans based on grandparents to grandchildren.

* Only go into heat once every 20 years.

* Eggs come 2 or 3 at a time and incubate in a nest of rotten wood and moss for one year and two months.

* One form is half humanoid but bald, scaled, and with webbing between fingers. Also have tails and genitalia of fish that include but are not limited to: bass, salmon, tuna, croppie, and trout.

* Pupils are always vertical. (unless the Kyrill is ill, then it is rounded like a human’s)

* Males have green scales on their arms and females have grey scales on their arms.

* In human form, there is no male or female genitalia, only exits for fecal matter.

* Tend to stay together with siblings in batches until old enough to mate. Then they go out on their own and rarely ever see their siblings again.

* Although there is a monarchy, Kyrill are most often alone or with their life mate.

* Kyrill mate for life.

* Kyrill parents only tend to eggs until outer shells (3 layers outer and one inner) are hard as a rock. Hatchlings know most things based on instinct.

* Kyrill often do not live past 40 years.

* It is common for eggs not to hatch and for hatchlings to die in the egg.

* The strongest and smartest survive.

* Both sexes go into heat yearly in the spring so that when the eggs are laid, it is warm in the water, boosting chances of survival.

* Family groups will often clump with other family groups in “towns, villages, and cities” to trade goods, protect each other, and give more mating possibilities.

* It is very very bad for a human to be left alone for more than a week, because they are extremely social and go mad without other living beings to be close to emotionally and physically.

* Pack bond to anything and everything, even when not living.

* Often marry monogamously for life but sometimes not. Needs further study.
