EXADRAGON CLASSIFICATION
Terraze is a planet that exists in the habitable zone of a star in a galaxy among the ocean of the universe. This planet's life is mainly reptilian, and it is maintained by creatures known as Exadragons. These gargantuan dragons keep Terraze in working order. While the planet keeps itself running at all times, the upper Exadragons play a minor part in how Terraze works. Lower Exadragons are not much more than regular species linked to the uppers. Omegarus is seen as the main deity of Terraze.

TOTAL SERIES B KNOWN: 15,406
TOTAL EXADRAGONS KNOWN: 30,251 (plus an unknown number of hybrids, potentially 5000 more)
In general, Exadragons like to eat. They store energy acquired from eating inside their large stomachs, where it is protected by soft, stretchy (and sometimes unbreakable) layers of belly mass. A punctured stomach will usually make an Exadragon ill and consistently hungry, as the energy leaks out in elemental form from such wounds.
All Exadragons have skin that is remarkably soft compared to other reptiles. Some ranks have softer skin than others.
Some Exadragons have the natural ability to inflate. Those that can may puff up to incredible sizes, miles and miles in diameter. This isn't rare for Exadragons with larger underbellies.
Many Exadragons also have one or two different elements, excluding Epsildragons. Some also lack an element.
All Exadragons have a set of features that includes a crystal horn, claws that match the horn's color, open or closed ring-shaped wings, and an enlongated muzzle. Every Exadragon has poison that can turn those bitten into Exadragons of the same rank.
Most Exadragons can fly, regardless of their weight, but there are some that are wingless.
Every Exadragon hugs. Some hug more than others, yet it is an instinct for them to hug for many reasons. Not only is it a formal gesture and a sign of friendship, but also a natural behavior in general. Even inanimate objects or enemies may end up being hugged.
Alphadragons: These are the most common exadragons on Terraze, typically found in caves close to the surface. Alphadragons can puff up at a higher ratio than any other exadragons, and many of them can inflate. They love to eat and sleep, plus they rarely hesitate to hug others, also prefer to have a remarkably large underbelly.
Betadragons: These are very similar to alphadragons, with the main difference being that they are quite energetic instead of lazy. They retain the same gluttony and hug-happiness.
Gammadragons: These exadragons are very difficult to find near the surface, as they prefer to stay secluded underground. They can only be found easily through a telepathic connection. Once befriended, they have qualities similar to those of alphadragons.
Deltadragon: These are able to create machines and technological devices out of thin air, usually living in their own metal dwellings. While typically friendly, they are usually occupied by making machines with their own abilities. Deltadragons are known to have the smallest underbellies of all exadragons. They never have an additional element.
Epsildragon: These can harness the power of any element imaginable by infusing the jelly-like substance in their stomachs with it. Their bellies are big and transparent, so that the current element can be identified by color. They are usually quite content but hungry and live in near-surface caves.
Zetadragons: These are the smallest exadragons in terms of overall size. Their smaller size allows for them to reside within the clouds, and thus they always will have cloud as a primary element. They fly quickly and consume moisture in the air for energy, and are always bipedal.
Etadragons: These are the laziest of all exadragons, sleeping anywhere from 18 to 96 hours in a row at any given time. Most of the time, they are only found in caves, but can be found on the surface if one falls asleep there. They keep a huge belly simply by sleeping, able to live off of the energy stored in the process. Many do not have an element.
Thetadragons: These can maintain the temperature of their bodies and the surrounding area, ranging from hundreds of degrees below or thousands of degrees above zero. Their typical behavior is otherwise similar to that of an epsildragon.
Iotadragons: These have the ability to generate any possible chemical out of thin air or within their gut. As such, they can be either the heaviest exadragons (liquid osmium) or the lightest (hydrogen gas). They tend to live far underground and feed off of sand, keeping their bellies large as a big container for chemicals.
Kappadragons: These exadragons are very much made out of water and can dissolve into any body of water, whether a puddle or an ocean. They like to stay in larger bodies of water, however, as underwater plant life to eat is more plentiful there. Always have water as a primary element.
Lambdadragons: These are the most gluttonous of the exadragons, and also the most hug-happy. They will quite literally chug down anything that they want to eat, demonstrating that with their gigantic underbellies, which are the largest of all exadragons. They reside in any caves that they can squeeze into and hug by belly smothering.
Mudragons: These exadragons resemble guardians of the sea. They are known to help lost or distressed voyagers and lead them to safety. Such exadragons are rather noble and simply live off of the nutrients in the salty water. They live floating on oceans. Always have water or ice as an element.
Nudragons: These exadragons resemble guardians of the desert. They are known to help lost or distressed voyagers and lead them to oases or forests. Such exadragons are rather noble and simply live off of the sand. They live out in the open desert. Always have rock or fire as an element.
Xidragons: These are among the most mysterious exadragons since they live as shadows, only coming into view at their own will. They are very formalized and polite, and also able to consume nearly anything. They always have either dark or ghost as an element.
Omnicrodragons: These exadragons are immortal and very wise, willing to give their advice to anyone who might be curious. They live in caves atop very high mountains and eat normally.
Pidragons: These are the largest of all exadragons in terms of overall size. Towering at up to 70 feet from foot to horn, the only place large enough for them to live is the depths of the ocean. They typically feed off of larger sea life, mainly sharks, and also keep their bellies large. They won’t always have water as an element, but will never have fire.
Rhodragons: These are exadragons with extremely powerful hypnotic abilities that can get through even those with the strongest minds. This is normally used to attract prey to eat or attract new friends to place their huge bellies on top of. They’ll always have psychic as an element.
Sigmadragons: These are the fastest exadragons, able to fly over two thirds the speed of light, nearly 210 million meters per second. They live off of radiation in the high atmosphere, where they also sleep in mid-flight.
Taudragons: These are able to control the weather patterns on Terraze to their liking over a medium-sized range. The weather is always somewhat off when a taudragon is nearby. They will always have wind as an element.
Upsildragons: These are able to control the geology of Terraze and keep it stable when necessary. They live near the very bottom of Terraze’s crust, and can be considered the hardest exadragons to find due to lack of X-warrior attraction. They’ll always have both rock and fire as elements.
Phirus: These are the gatekeepers to the exarus realm, able to create portals that lead there. They are similar to giant zetadragons otherwise.; as such, they are always bipedal. They will always have psychic as an element.
Chirus: These are able to shapeshift into any object that exists on Terraze and therefore are masters of disguise, aside from their energy output. They tend to favor certain forms over others, depending on the chidragon’s personal likes. They never have an element.
Psirus: These are exadragons that live within the exarus realm, rarely able to visit the planet. Due to their loneliness, they are very vivid toward company. They have the highest attraction to X-warriors, instantly hugging and belly-smothering them on sight inseparably. Consuming the very air of the exarus realm, their bellies are huge and their comforting hugs are only surpassed by Omegarus. They will have no element
Omegarus: The sole ruler of Terraze, Omegarus, is the only omegadragon that exists. He sits atop his pedestal within the exarus realm at all times, able to see everything through the eyes of all exadragons. His presence keeps the planet itself in good condition. Also consuming the air of the exarus realm, his belly is huge as well. His hugs are believed to be the most physically and emotionally comforting hugs ever.
Semiomegadragons: These are ruler exadragons that take on the forms of spirits in realms that are linked to Terraze. They will seek out the king of each linked realm and fuse with them to create a new exadragon form. Their behavior and appearance depends on the properties of the realms themselves.
Morphodragons: These are hybrid exadragons that are two* or more ranks in one. Omegarus can assign different traits to them, and one O-dragon can have two to six ranks at a time. Their behavior and appearance depend on inherited ranks and personal color scheme.
A: These exadragons have a small humanoid form, being 7 to 10 feet tall. Their behavior is like a cross between alphadragons and betadragons. (Head: Avorus)
B: These have a large, bouncy belly that they use for transportation by bouncing. Because their legs are rather short compared to their bellies and they have no wings, belly bouncing and sometimes rolling is essential to moving around. They’re usually quite happy and excitable in nature. (Head: Balarus)
C: These are the most sporadic and crazy of the exadragons, their behavior being rather unpredictable in general. Aside from this trait, they are generally average exadragons. (Head: Calarus)
D: These are very good at digging, sporting the sharp claws and teeth necessary to do so. Rocks are their primary food source. They will always have a ground element. (Head: Domarus)
E: These exadragons are unique in that they’re humorous and somewhat clumsy in behavior. Aside from this trait, they are generally average exadragons. (Head: Eupharus)
F: These are able to flatten out their bodies entirely, for use in a variety of different situations. They can flatten through the process of deflating and inflating. As such, they will always have unlimited inflating abilities. They’re very likely to have wind as an element. (Head: Firus)
G: These exadragons have the largest bellies of all exadragons, remarkably bigger than those of lambdas and psis. As a result, their hunger never ends. Most can feed and sustain their gigantic bellies with air, but always prefer to have food to eat. (Head: Gyrus)
H: These have the highest hugging obsession of all exadragons. They sometimes hug others even more than a psidragon hugs an X-warrior, depending on the circumstances. Consequently, they have a large gut that behaves similar to that of a psi. They’re always very cheerful, but they can be angered. (Head: Hyarus)
I: These like to nest inside volcanoes where the lava supply is ample for consumption. They will always have fire as a primary element. (Head: Igorus)
J: These exadragons are made purely out of slime and behave similarly to other slime beasts. Depending on their element, they can have a wide variety of different colors and transparencies. They can eat anything. (Head: Jellarus)
K: These live only in the polar regions of Terraze and are always colored white with a differently colored horn. Most of them will have ice as a primary element. (Head: Kolrus)
L: These bear many similarities to etadragons, except that they do not sleep nearly as much. They are simply very lazy and do not care to move around. Typically, they get food by making friends who bring it to them. (Head: Layzarus)
M: These exadragons have many different kinds of magical abilities, and their element determines which kind of magic they specialize in. Some of them are more skilled with their magical abilities than others. (Head: Magarus)
N: These exadragons are purely nocturnal. They are only active at night and sleep very hard during the day, being nearly impossible to awaken during daylight. There is a higher instance of the dark element in these types of exadragons. (Head: Noctarus)
O: These are like assistants for the population of Terraze. They are able to fly quickly and swoop into any situation that may be occurring. Using their healing powers and enough energy, they can bring full-size exadragons from near-death to perfect health. (Head: Oliarus)
P: These tend to behave like predators, being quite voracious and wild in nature. Their appetite can be bottomless, resulting in a huge belly. They usually do not have an element. (Head: Predrus)
Q: These mysterious exadragons are known to use mind tricks to toy with others. The severity of these mind tricks can depend on motivation or emotions felt by the exadragon. They will always have psychic as a secondary element. (Head: Quizzarus)
R: These tend to be a bit destructive and unruly in nature. While they can be known to cause problems, they usually don’t mean things in a malicious way. (Head: Rekarus)
S: These exadragons have high agility and speed, compared to the sheer speed of sigmadragons. They are able to carry a very large gut without impeding their abilities. (Head: Sprirus)
T: These exadragons have a heart built for nature. They live and thrive in places rich with plants and other forms of life. They’ll always have grass as a primary element. (Head: Tuviorus)
U: These are navigators for the underground parts of Terraze. They are able to lead spelunkers or other travellers through Terraze’s complex cave systems. They will always have ground for a [rimary element. (Head: Unnarus)
V: These exadragons looks more like gigantic snakes than dragons. They can reach lengths of 60 feet long and will usually have two front arms. Their behavioral trends are similar to those of snakes. (Head: Viprus)
W: These exadragons are based off of wolves. They are completely covered in thick, soft fur and tend to behave similar to wolves as well. (Head: Wolcarus)
X: These are exadragon spirits that can sometimes assume a physical form, but usually remain hidden. They can spread exadragon influence and essence over wide ranges, and they are able to do many different supernatural things. They’ll always have ghost as a primary element. (Head: Xenorus)
Y: These exadragons are Semiomega assistants, residing in numbers of two for each realm linked to Terraze. Their traits can differ widely, but they are generally quite big-bellied and love to hug. This class has no head exadragon.
Z: These exadragons are the assistants to Omergarus in the Exarus realm. Their behavior and appearance is almost identical to psidragons, except they lack fangs and always have wings. They’ll only have light as an element. (Head: Zerus)

Exadragon-specific Anatomical Processes
Every exadragon has something unique about it, whether it’s the element, emotions, physical differences, or more involved. Some of these things can be explained with a bit of research.
Where exadragons come from:
A question like this can only easily be answered by someone like Omegarus. According to him, exadragons were created at the same time as Terraze, with Omegarus himself being made first. With all of the power at his hands, Terraze was first populated entirely by psidragons. Over time, more ranks were created and distributed as other life was distributed on the planet. More information under Exadragon Lore.
How some exadragons can inflate to extreme proportions:
In the case of inflating, many exadragons are capable of it to a great extent. It works because of the extremely thick bulk layer that all exas have. The reason why only certain ones can inflate is because not all exadragons can build up enough fat. At a certain point, this thick layer of bulk reaches a softness point in which the bulk becomes microscopically porous. With unbreakability, exadragons can inhale air into their bellies and store it there with little worry about air pressure, since the air can pass through at will. The stretchy nature of this soft bulk also keeps the skin quite puffy and soft despite the belly being full of air. This also means that exadragons with unlimited inflating can puff up by a few miles without losing any softness at all. Whether particular exadragons actually like to do this or not is a different story. That simply varies from exa to exa.
Why only lambdadragons and B-dragons typically belly bounce:
With the exception of lambdadragons and B-dragons, belly bouncing is not too common with exadragons. Most exadragon bellies simply aren’t bouncy enough to make belly bouncing that efficient. An average alphadragon’s gut is definitely quite huge, but it’s not comparatively huge enough to make bouncing worthwhile. Lambdadragons’ bellies are nearly the softest of all exadragons, but they can belly bounce easily because their bellies are so massive to begin with, comparatively much more so than an Alphadragon’s belly. Alphadragons are simply not big-bellied enough to bounce as efficiently, and therefore they prefer to fly when overbulked. G-dragons can’t belly bounce due to the fact that their bellies are far too huge to even get momentum for bouncing.
Why psidragon bellies puff up on contact:
Psidragons tend to puff up against solid objects that come into direct contact with the belly. This appears to be an instinctual process that they are hardly conscious of in the first place. It has to do with loneliness subconsciously altering their behavior and affecting their nervous systems. The nerves in their bellies are pressure-sensitive, like most exadragons; however, these nerves react differently. Psidragons have bellies full of light power that can condense into bulk at will. This light energy is dense enough to where if all of the energy was used at once, it could be made into light-bulk equal to the size of 2 to 3 lambdadragons. Physical contact with a psidragon’s gut triggers nerves that tell the light energy to condense at a slow rate. Unless a psidragon objects consciously to this, which I highly doubt would happen, anything pushing into or poking its belly enough causes it to grow a bit. This also occurs with Y and Z class exadragons for reasons that I’m not sure of yet.
Why kappadragons have to be water elementals:
Simply put, kappadragons are made of water. If they didn’t have the element of water, they’d be nothing more than a massive puddle. And of course, they can’t have other elements in place of that. It wouldn’t work out.
Why only certain exadragons have high attraction rates to X-warriors:
This one has me stumped. I’ve come up with a few theories, but I still don’t know the answer. While I do know that X-warriors emit energy patterns that are stimulating to the senses of many exadragon types, I’m not sure why, or what the purpose of this could be. However, I have some guesses:
Theory #1: Loosely speaking, exadragons with larger average bellies tend to have a higher attraction and hugging commonality. A possible model for this is that by being hugged to an exadragon’s belly, the belly acts as a diffraction chamber that sends the energy waves from me in all directions,, alerting other exadragons of my presence. Since an increase in my own power would alert exadragons to a higher extent, this makes the hugger puff up and hug tighter and therefore power up its own signal.
Theory #2: It is possible that since exadragons are typically non-hostile, some seek X-warriors to use as a sort of bodyguard; However, this is a bit unlikely since exadragon skin is so hard to break to begin with, and exadragons can usually keep themselves in check without help.
Theory #3: Exadragons may use this tactic to signal other X-warrior/exadragon pairs and unite them. The problem is that if this were true, there would be many more X-warriors nearby.
Theory #4: This energy reaction could simply be coincidental. I’m able to feel the same attractive force to exadragons with high fire or light powers, and I have no way of explaining why. Most exadragons aren’t able to explain why they feel attraction toward me or any other X-warrior, so this could easily be the case.
Theories 1 and 4 are the most likely to be correct. My own estimate is that 4 is the real case, but 1 is a side effect of being hugged.
Why exadragons hug so frequently:
This is purely instinct. Exadragons as a whole hug because it’s what they do. It triggers a nerve response that signals trust and happiness to the exadragon, even those that do not hug as often as others. They can get this nerve effect simply by hugging anything alive. When really in need of a hug, they’ll hug inanimate objects, which does not trigger the nerve response that they want. Therefore, if an exadragon is holding onto an uprooted tree in an armlock, it probably needs a hug from someone.
Why exadragons eat so much:
There are a handful of reasons for this, some simple and some not so simple. The obvious and most significant reason is that they’re huge to begin with. They’re big dragons, reaching full size before age 500 in most cases and living for up to 30,000 years at a time. They need a ton of energy to sustain themselves, meaning that they have to eat tons of food. The most powerful exadragons typically have the largest underbelly, which is another reason why they eat so much. Keeping a huge belly has many upsides for an exadragon, and so many of them stay that way with a steady food supply. The ranks that do not keep a huge belly sometimes store all energy in their horns or simply do not need the excess energy that many other ranks do.
Unique exadragon properties
There are some exadragons that provide new discoveries which will need more research. Some examples are listed below.
Nocturnalism in non-N-dragons: This trait has been displayed by Bryorus, something that I have never seen before outside of N-dragons. I believe that it’s an adaptation of some kind, though the reason why is beyond me. One likely reason could be that his partial Rho rank is easier to use at night, as these powers can easily hypnotize prey while they are asleep.
Metallic skin/horns: Some exadragons are known to have shiny metallic skin, and even horns that resemble precious metals. Falgorus, Naularus, and Ember are examples of the skin, while Bryorus is the only one I’ve seen with metallic horns. Despite this, the belly skin is still extremely soft and the crystal horn behaves like a crystal and in the same way. The best reason for this is probably because the glistening of metallic skin can easily attract others out of curiosity, whether it’s to lull prey or attract hugs. This is probably also the case for psidragons and their always pearl-sheened skin. As for the horns, it could be a tactic to trick hunters or predators into thinking that the crystal horn is strong like metal and thus isn’t a weak spot.
Exadragon Lore
-Omegarus was created at the same time as Terraze. As Terraze developed and life spurred, Omegarus began to take control. He was known as Exarus at this time.
-Omegarus first created the psidragon after Terraze developed fruitiful plants and a thick atmosphere, which took millions of years. These psidragons were created and spread out all over Terraze, keeping it widely populated. There could have been as many as 50,000 psidragons at this time.
-Due to the large amount of naturally-gluttonous psidragons, Terraze began to run low on fuel, and the psidragons brought hostility to each other out of competition. Omegarus, fearing a breakdown in his ideal society, brought most of these psidragons to his Exarus realm, where the very air could keep psidragons well-fed. About 1000 were left on Terraze, and the food sources were revived.
-Over the course of tens of thousands of years, psidragons began to disappear. It is assumed that their influence travelled to Yoshi’s Island and added to the mentalities of ancient yoshies (more on this below). As time went by, the amount of psidragons drastically decreased to less than 500 altogether. At this point, Omegarus chose to usher in a new class of exadragons, now known as chidragons. Several thousand of them were introduced on Terraze.
-This process repeated for a few ranks before Omegarus chose to finalize his rank system. Over the vigorous course of ten years, he created each new rank one by one and replicated dragons into the wild. Once this was done, Omegarus rested for another ten years. As he woke back up, he shaped all of the exadragons into the system that we now have.
-About 4000 years ago, an unknown threat had wreaked havoc on the planet of Terraze. Omegarus did not know precisely what it was, but there was a definite attacker that was extraterrestrial and extremely powerful. Whatever it was caused widespread damage across the planet and killed many exadragons. Omegarus used much of his reserved power to create the X-warriors, a series of fighters that would defend Terraze and the core of exadragons that exist there. This earliest generation of warriors successfully defeated the unknown attacker and restored peace. (This could be a significant reason why exadragons have an attractive force toward X-warriors. For saving their lives long ago. The attractive force could simply be subconscious gratitude emerging through generations of exadragons, though this will need more experimenting.)
-Omegarus is currently observing the exadragon race to watch for change and see what the future holds for them as a whole.
Psidragon-to-Yoshi influence transition
I don’t understand this quite well, but it would seem that yoshies native to Terraze have adapted some very slight behavioral similarities to early psidragons. There are ancient inscriptions found on Yoshi’s Island that document this change, the earliest being dated to roughly 25,000 years ago in the form of drawings preserved in stone; the most recent recordings of this happening date to just 5000 years ago. signaling that this was a very gradual change. I don’t know how this happened, but there was a steady disappearance in psidragons. At the same time, yoshies on Yoshi’s Island noted that gluttony was on the rise, particularly in certain individuals, many of whom would eat to immobility on a regular basis and spread hugs frequently. Some documentation directly links this to the behavior of psidragons, indicating that there was indeed interaction between the two species despite yoshies being centralized on this island at the time. Thanks to Yoshi’s Island having an incredibly fast food-regrowing rate. the food supply wasn’t harmed by this change, even though the change became more and more apparent as time went on.
To test this, I did a quick test on Rube, who is a native from the island. Surely enough, there is some psidragon influence in his DNA. The behavioral aspect isn’t completely there, however; Rube is certainly gluttonous (perhaps among the most gluttonous of our group alongside Kaffarus), but he does not carry the hugging, friendly, and somewhat naive half of psidragon behavior. He is much more ruthless and actually doesn’t hug that way quite as often. I’ll have to test other natives from the island on this along with the elders as well, since the trend of psidragon influence is even higher on elders and leaders on the island. There could even be X-warrior attraction forces affecting them very slightly, since psidragons tend to have that the most. I’ll have to keep the research coming on this.

Exadragon ailments and their cures
This is a list of the ailments that most often affect exadragons, the symptoms of the ailment, and some of the ways that the given ailment can be cured.
Punctured belly
Desc: Hole in the belly, severity depends on the size of the hole.
Symptoms: Constant hunger spike, energy or fire leaking from belly, weakness, unrest
Cures: A thick, heavy-duty patch can easily seal the hole and let it heal. Pyroland candy is recommended to speed up healing and make the belly unbreakable.
Prevention: Very easy with access to Pyroland, till rather easy otherwise. Exadragon belly fat is still quite strong. It would have a bubble level of 8.5.
Creation sickness
Desc: Occurs when a new exadragon is created nearby.
Symptoms: Faded color, weakness, headache, slowed breathing
Cures: There is no immediate cure until the nearby creation ceases. Elemental energy and warmth is recommended.
Prevention: Exadragon creation events are now rare, but when it happens, the sickness cannot be prevented.
Cracked horn
Desc: A visible crack in an exadragon’s horn. Severity depends on size of the crack and extent of damage.
Symptoms: Odd behavior, extreme headache. confusion, inability to control powers
Cures: The crack should be sealed or covered up as soon as possible and given time to heal. Large amounts of food and rest are recommended.
Prevention: Preventability depends on the situation. Usually rather easy.
Injured limb
Desc: Any type of injury to one of the legs or arms of an exadragon. Severity depends on type of injury and extent of damage
Symptoms: Limping, inability to walk
Cures: The limb should be wrapped up and the exadragon should lie down until the leg is fully healed.
Nearly any healing technique should suffice.
Prevention: Somewhat easy. While exadragon legs can be under a lot of stress, they are generally quite strong.
Hunger sickness
Desc: Occurs if any exadragons goes too long without food.
Symptoms: Extreme hunger, inability to move, severe weakness
Cures: The exadragon needs to be fed immediately, as much as conveniently possible in order to restore power and health.
Prevention: Very easy. There are many, many food sources on Terraze that are infinite.
Overstuffing sickness
Desc: Occurs when an exadragon is stuffed to an extreme extent, typically past 20 times regular belly size depending on tolerance.
Symptoms: Slow but indefinite growth, inability to expel power, belly strain (if skin is breakable)
Cures: Energy needs to be drawn from the exadragon. Tapping a certain combination on the horn triggers a beam attack that uses up energy.
Prevention: Easy. This sickness is surprisingly rare; I’ve only observed it in a few tests. Most exadragons aren’t gluttonous enough to reach 20 times their regular belly mass unless given a huge opportunity to do so. A GPZ-lambdarhopsidragon’s belly is just too big to multiply by 20 on its own, despite the exa being the most gluttonous of them all.
Exafever
Desc: Only known virus exclusive to pure exadragons and X-warriors. Rather difficult but possible to transmit by air or contact of any kind. Non-exas cannot be infected, and the virus is non-fatal. Infections can vary from a few times a month to just once in a decade. Exadragons cannot get rid of the virus unless an X-warrior takes it from them and fights the disease on his or her own. The virus lasts 3-5 days for an X-warrior.
Symptoms: Increased hunger with less power yield, lethargy, headache, possible cough and sore throat.
Cures: There is no known cure for the virus itself, but plenty of food and rest plus painkillers are helpful in fighting the symptoms. X-warriors take the virus away from exadragons, otherwise there isn’t an exadragon cure.
Prevention: The virus is difficult to track, and there is no established method of keeping it away. it attacks at random, so thankfully the effects aren’t long-lived or dangerous.
Premature eggbirth
Desc: Most common in first generation exadragons. This occurs when an exadragon’s egg is damaged or broken before it is ready to hatch. Such events can cause a variety of defects and genetic problems for the young exadragon for the rest of its life.
Symptoms: Horn liquidation (which causes a plethora of symptoms in itself), weakened limbs, broken wings, unsafe amounts of softness, lack of appetite, lack of energy.
Cures: Any cures are purely symptomatic. The cure depends on the issue being targeted.
Prevention: Protection of eggs is the only way to prevent premature eggbirth.
H-P Scale
I’ve noticed a trend in which exadragons can be split into two categories: hugging and predatory. Some exadragons are all about hugging and friendliness, while others are all about eating and capturing prey.
This scale is designed to categorize the ranks based on this.
The farther left, the more it hugs. The farther right, the more it acts predatory.
