Chapter 3: Egghatchery

Egghatchery

 

 

If you find an egg, or if any of your several dragons have laid an egg, you must take care of it. You never find an egg out in the open in the wild, and this would mean that the mother dragon has abandoned it. Carefully pick it up and cradle it. If you have a female dragon that has had experience of mothering, take the egg to her. She will care for it. Bring food to her when she needs to eat because she has to nurse the egg and cannot get up. It will eventually hatch.

 

 

If your dragon is laying an egg themselves, the same applies, but if it is a first-time experience, you will have to teach them that they are the ones who are supposed to take care of it. When they learn, you will be all set to go on breeding dragons.

 

 

If you have never bred dragons before and you have no idea what the eggs look like, the eggs have the markings just like their hatchling.



Chapter 2: Caring for your Dragon

Caring for your Dragon

To care for a pet dragon, a riding dragon, or a hunting dragon is important and very necessary when it comes to these beasts. You mustn't drive them into sorrow or anger, or force them to do what you want to do when you had other plans. Dragon and owner have to make peace and connection when speaking to one another, and to understand each other is just as important as health and care. In fact, you have to have one to have the other. Making contact is espescially important when you have a very dangerous and rare dragon that you don't want to anger.

Feeding your dragon and watering your dragon are some basic tips. You need to know just what your dragon likes to eat and drink, or else you could end up with a dragon that starves itself and passes up your offers to feed it. Water is not always needed. For instance, the Shadeclaw Stormicus actually eats oceanwater, so they don't need any water, but sometimes their mouth gets salty from the oceanwater and you need to give them a little bit of freshwater. 

Grooming your dragon is another necessary tip. If you want your dragon's scales to be healthy and their fins to be in tip-top shape, then you should groom your dragon. Actually, you need to groom them either way, because their fins and scales can rot if they get too dirty.

And the last, most important thing to do if you want to care for your dragon is: spend some quality time with it. They don't choose their owners out because they feed and water them. They pick them out of the other trainers because the owners love them and care about them. If you have a pet dragon, you could play some games with it, or if you have a riding dragon, you could take it for a little flight, and if you have a dragon that you use for hunting, you could go hunting together and share the catch. There's always some love in your dragons, you just have to care for them.

Chapter 1: Dragon Species of the World

Dragon Species of the World

#1: The Shadeclaw Stormicus

Known as the most elusive and stonehearted of the dragons, this monster is four-legged with two large wings that can slice through metal with the talons on the end. Shadeclaws only appear during lightning storms and fly above the ocean, where they nest in the clouds. When angered, a Shadeclaw can light up its throat with fire to show that you should back away. If you don't, they'll blast you with a shock of pure electricity. They eat nothing but oceanwater and are nearly impossible to train.

To train one, you've got to (eek) set your clothes on fire and jump into the ocean. When they see this, they think that you are charmed by electricity and the sea, and they start to show interest and respect for you because you like the same things they do. Their true scale coloring is a very dark gray with light denim for their fins and wing flaps. Their tails are extra long to glide along lightning, because, they ride lightning. They live on coasts close to villages such as Galveston, Texas.

#2: The Infernant Pyrebeast

The Infernant Pyrebeast is a great sight to behold and very intelligent. They are uncommon, but they are not rare nor common. They are wyvern-like dragons because they only have two legs and their wings have claws on them. A Pyrebeast will start out as a red, scaly, crow-eating wyvern, but if they are abused, they will turn into ashes, and, seconds later, will turn into a flaming beast, kind of like a phoenix. They can also be capable of many other flaming attacks. To train one is fairly easy, since Pyrebeasts are usually obsessed with human meals. They're always stealing them. Just give them a lot of human food and they'll love you as a master. They have medium-sized tails and live at the Great Lakes in Michigan, usually hidden in caves along the shores, because humans often go for tourism and might accidentally drop a hot dog on the ground.

#3: The Frozenbreath Leathenteer

The Frozenbreath Leathenteer is a white, four-legged dragon with clawless wings and a long neck. They can breathe icefire and have amazing aerial skills. A Frozenbreath is common because they once migrated from Antarctica and found life much more content in the US. They often eat rodents such as squirrrels and have the ablilty to freeze oceans and, if they focus their powers enough, they can freeze the entire country AND an ocean. So, this means that you probably shouldn't anger them. To train one is a fun experience because if at first you don't succeed, you get some snow to play in. But how to train one? You just build a snow fort out of the snow they create and offer the dragon a brick from the fort. They often live up in Alaska because it reminds them of their home.

#4: The Limestellar Tailwhip

The Limestellar Tailwhip is the most common dragon of them all and is four-legged with clawed wings. Its tail is extremely long and can wrap around a clifftop twice. They can shoot the ordinary blast of fire out of their mouth but are capable of much more, such as toxic fumefire. They love to eat sheep because it's fun to terrorize the helpless mammals and they can often get too carried away with it, leading their masters to fall off their backs. Training one is not tricky at all, because all you have to do is stroke them and whisper to them softly, calming them down and making them happy. They are the only dragons to have horns, because the Frozenbreath has only subhorns and the other three dragons have fins. You can find Limestellars anywhere in the US because they travel a lot and like to see new things.

#5: The Wispwinged Oceaserpent

The Wispwinged Oceaserpent is a legless dragon with a very long body and clawless, blue, silvery wings. This species has several whiskers on its face, unlike other dragons. They eat nothing but fish and are uncommon. They cannot part with the sea, considering they love it so much, and they can create hurricanes or boiling seawater lava if angered. Training one is a little bit tricky, and you have to be very smart. You must feed them fish, then sing to them and spend time doing things with them that they like. Riding one is fun, because they move above water like a snake and then take off, so you can swim and fly at the same time. They are found anywhere in Maine's bays and docks, often floating happily in the waves.
