[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 9770100, member: 6704184"] In my game/world, there different types of beings called dragons. Leviathan is a dragon, and is essentially a god. Nidhogg is believed by many to be Tiamat, which makes her both a dragon and one of the greatest gods. The Red Dragon (of Wales) is a powerful being on par with less powerful gods, as are the divine dragons of Asia. These beings are singular, and beyond the ability of any mortal to effect in any way outside supplication or negotiation or outwitting, and even a group of extremely powerful PCs can only ever diminish their power, banish them from the mortal worlds for a time, stuff like that. Then there are dragons of places and such that are more like…corporeal land spirits. Like a dryad but it’s a dragon. Lastly there are mortal dragons which are closely related to the “spirit” dragons but are fully mortal, and can take an appearance that can pass for other mortal races. Not like D&D dragonborn, but way more variable and individually unique. The lesser dragons are just as individual as the greater, varying in number of limbs, whether they have wings, and often reflecting an environment or element or having feline or canine facial features and fur, or crystalline spines, or being naturally covered in moss and/or growing branches and leaves like those of a willow or fern or other plant. Some have hide that seems stony, some leathery or furry, or bark like, and others have metallic scales. [/QUOTE]
