Dragon Type: Fairy

Unique communications: Wings’ glow; glow-color; glow-brightness; hypnotism influences

Wings’ glow - A fairy dragon's wing-color is inherited from their parents. Their wings glow autonomically. A fairy dragon cannot change their inherited color, but they can

1) change the color and brightness of their glow on command (to emphasize certain emotions, or to hypnotize others)

2) temporarily stop the glow. This will conceal their emotions, often to communicate that they do not feel safe enough to be seen or express themselves freely.

Glow colors - Their wings' glow instinctively changes color to reflect their emotional state. They can consciously override this instinct, but it is difficult to. There are 7 colors and corresponding emotions:

Inherited color glow - Neutrality; contentment; happiness

Red - anger; frustration

Orange - bashfulness; modesty; embarrassment

Yellow - surprise

Green - thoughtfulness; consideration

Blue - sadness

Purple - fear; confusion

If a fairy dragon is feeling multiple emotions, their glow may alternate between those emotions’ colors, or their glow may be the dominant emotion’s color with a tint of the lesser emotion’s color.

Glow-brightness - The brightness of one’s glow communicates how intensely their emotion is felt (the more intense, the brighter the glow).

Hypnotism influences - Fairy dragons can further communicate by influencing the senses of the recipient through hypnotism (such as creating visuals, scents, sounds, tastes, or tactile sensations within the mind of the recipient). This can be used to communicate nonverbally with any type, or converse nonverbally with their own kind (with each fairy type using the ability on the other in turn. This is also used to communicate trust that their recipient will not maliciously manipulate them).

Dragon type: Wind

Unique communications: Vocalizations; singing; pitch frequencies

Vocalizations - these are the most common way for wind dragons to communicate in a casual setting. Roars, shrieks, grunts, etc., can all be nuanced and understood given the specific context. With their volume control ability, they can boost their vocalizations to be heard over great distances.

Singing - Since wind types are solitary travelers, it’s important for them to let others of their kind know which areas are safe to roost in. These songs communicate how their environment impacts their emotional state through the melody. The songs’ rhythm and volume can communicate their environment’s weather, its native inhabitants, or potential danger–and in the latter’s case, it can be a request for rescue if they cannot leave that environment. Singing can also be used to claim territories by letting any dragon type in hearing range know the singer is there.

Pitch frequencies: more commonly used between their own kind in situations where silence is necessary. They can change their voices’ pitch to converse in frequencies that other dragon types cannot hear.

Dragon type: Earth

Unique communications: Headbutts; wrestling; kneading

Headbutts - depending on context, these can be used to communicate affection in a casual setting, anger in a tense setting, or playfulness (often to initiate play amongst hatchlings and juveniles).

Wrestling - often used as combat practice, but it can also be used in play. In either context, this is a way to communicate trust that the recipient will not hurt them.

Kneading - often used to express contentment (or a longing for something that will cause them contentment), usually by pawing the ground in place.
