Although Edward like Professor Diande and the Creatures they got to work with, he dislike doing his written work. However, his best friend Jasmine had convinced him to do a good job for once.
Antipodean Opaleye
The Opaleye is a native of New Zealand, though it has been known to migrate to Australia when territory becomes scarce in its native land. Unusually for a dragon, it dwells in valleys rather than mountains. It is of medium size (between two and three tonnes). Perhaps the most beautiful type of dragon, it has iridescent, pearly scales and glitterin, multi-coloured, pupil-less eyes, hence its name.
Peruvian Vipertooth
This is the smallest of all known dragons, and the swiftest in flight. A mere fifteen feet or so in length, the Peruvian Vipertooth is smooth-scaled and copper-coloured with black ridge markings. The horns are short and the fangs are particularly venomous.
Romanian Longhorn
The Longhorn has dark-green scales and long, glittering golden horns with which it gores its prey before roasting it. When powdered, these horns are highly valued as potion ingredients. The native territory of the Longhorn has now become the world's most important dragon reservation, where wizards of all nationalities study a variety of dragons at close range.
Ukranian Ironbelly
The largest breed of dragon, the Ironbelly has been known to achieve a weight of six tonnes. Rotound and slower in flight than the Vipertooth or Longhorn (see above), the Ironbelly is nevertheless extremely dangerous, capable of crushing dwellings on which it lands. The scales are metallic grey, the eyes deep red and the talons particularly long and vicious.
1. Water Dragons
The element of water governs the western quarter of the circle. Its ruler is Naelyan, who oversees the dragons of the seas, springs, lakes, ponds, and rivers. Its color is pure blue and is cold and moist. Positive associations are: sunset, autumn, compassion, peacefulness, forgiveness, love, intuition, calmness, peace of the mind. Negative associations are: floods, rainstorms, laziness, in difference, instability, lack of emotional control and insecurity.
The subspecies of the element of water are those of seas and various waters. It is not unusual to find this element working in conjunction with dragons of wind, storm, and weather, mountains and forests, or those of destruction.
Dragons who dwell in the seas, lakes, rivers, ponds, and other bodies of water, whether large or small, are basically shaped like oriental dragons. They are usually long and serpent-like, usually without legs or wings.
There are a variety of shades of blue, from silver-blue to dark blue-green. In fact, their shades cover all the hues of the water in which they reside. All of them have a silvery hue to their scales with some shade of blue predominant on the belly scales. They have feathery fringers about their mouths and down their backs. They have large horny eye sockets set in a rather flat snakelike head. These dragons can be very large or very small, depending on their dwelling place.
Dragons of the seas and various waters help with emotions, either calming them or breaking through a barrier built around them; movement, both to get events moving and to keep things fluid; calmness on all levels of being and in all circumstances; creating changes, especially those brought about by breaking free of people who control us through our emotions.
Sightings of these creatures are so well documented that one can dismiss the sceptics’ observations that muggles are only seeing dolphins, squids, or other common water creatures. Sea dragons have been seen all around the world by wizards and witches, but especially off the coasts of Scandinavia, Denmark, the British Isles, and North America.
2. Mountain and Forest Dragons
The Dragons of the Mountains and Forests are sub-species of the Earth Dragons. As stated before; earth dragons are the foundation builders.
The dragons of the mountains and forests focus on building foundations for plans that are to be long lasting. They have physical and mental capabilities and the endurance to handle long-time responsibilities.
They will help bring about the success of goals for those who put forth the effort and planning.
Deep within the Forest of Wyrms live green dragons. Lots of green dragons. Not so many that they are a threat to the Western Heartlands, but nevertheless there are lot of them. These dragons rule the forest, and intruders find themselves breathing noxious gases if they are unwelcome or are carrying a lot of valuables.
The forest is very close to the Trade Way, the main trade route from Waterdeep to the Inner Sea. It is also within a day’s dragon flight from Serpent Hills and the High Moor. For all these reasons, the location was practically irresistible to Valraxaxath. The portal here is deep within the forest itself, marked by two large trees and set high in the branches so that flying dragons can use it easily. As a consequence, one has to fly to use the portal. It is double-sized, but it can accommodate most dragons. Like the Small Teeth Portal, it is a variable portal that requires keys. It can be used four times per day.

The griffin originated in Greece and has the front legs and head of a giant eagle, but the body and hind legs of a lion. Like sphinxes, griffins are often employed by wizards to guard treasure. Though griffins are fierce, a handful of skilled wizards have been known to befriend one. Griffins feed on raw meat.(please log in to view the image)

The oriental dragon is seen as being wise, intelligent and quite often magical. Some dragons were considered to be able to control natural elements such as weather and natural disasters. While most Chinese dragons were seen as being either good or benevolent, some dragons were seen as evil or aggressive, and were sometimes blamed for natural disasters or poor crop yields. It has been said that many of the great disasters in Chinese history have occurred when a mortal has offended a dragon, however most dragons were seen as protectors. In Hong Kong, there is a belief that 9 dragons inhabit the waters of Kowloon, keeping the city safe from harm. Wearing a dragon on your person is considered good luck, and many people wear dragon charms for this reason. Some dragons are pictured with a pearl under their chin or sometimes holding it in its claws. This represents the 'Pearl of Wisdom' that many dragons are seen as possessing.
Almost celestial in nature, the Oriental Dragons are both mystical and spiritual. Many of their characteristics can be found in-groups of nine, a number the Chinese consider to be very lucky. For instance, there are 81 scales running down the dorsal ridge of their backs. There are 9 types or sub-species of Oriental dragons.
The Horned Dragon
The most powerful of the Oriental Dragons, also called Lung. They can produce rain are totally deaf.
The Winged Dragon
The only flying Oriental Dragon.
The Celestial Dragon
Believed to support and protect the mansions of the Gods.
The Spiritual Dragon
Generate wind and rain for the benefit of mankind.
The Dragon of Hidden Treasures
Keepers of concealed wealth.
The Coiling Dragon
Water dragons who live mostly in the lakes of the Orient.
The Yellow Dragon
Who emerged from the water and gave the Emperor Fu Hsi the knowledge of writing.
The Dragon King
A group of dragons that individually rule over the four seas divided by the celestial directions, North, South, East and West.
These Oriental dragons can be found in a variety of colours. Of the three Neodracos these are the most colourful. Reaching up to 40-50 feet in length, their scales shimmer silver, blue, green, red or combination of all these. Like the European and American dragons the Oriental dragons are primarily nocturnal. But this breed of dragon does venture out in daylight hours, especially in spring.
