| Description | At birth, all dragons look like large, pink worms. At maturity, amber dragons grow to be like bulbous, glistening, yellow, oozing scaly worms with the heads of oxen. They have huge legs and tiny wings, but they can still fly. |
| Procreation | Dragons mate with each other only. Without intense supernatural interference, half-dragons are an impossibility. Dragons lay one to three eggs at a time. Upon hatching, a dragon immediately begins absorbing background energies. All dragon eggs are filled with pure, liquid draconic energy, which sustains the baby dragon upon hatching. |
| Esoterica | Amber dragons absorb vast quantities of hegnh and gratitiude resonance, with a significant amount also absorbing flesh power and greenlight aether. Earthpower, currents, pattern, and winds aether are also common. Temporal aether is not unhead of. Radiance, heavenly light, dumaqu, and Foundation are common as well. Divine energies are common. Unholy energies and frustration resonance are impossible. |
| Special Powers | Dragons gain new powers as they accumulate more energies. At each stage of growth, they gain a new ability, usually culminating with the twelfth ability when they accumulate . The usual progression of powers is as follows:
All dragons accumulate energies by absorbing them naturally from the area around them. As such, they must carefully cultivate their lairs to provide the right kinds of energies, hence they hoard appropriate objects. Other common powers include create feast, summon bees, honey rain, nourish soil, and satisfy lesser need. |
| Alternate Forms | Amber dragons sometimes take the form of a giant when they need to. |
| Weaknesses | Frustration resonance and arnum will harm them. |
| Subspecies | Feasting wyrms are giant amber worms from which bountiful harvest is constantly spilling, like a living cornucopia. They appear when amber dragons absorb too much hegnh and gratitude resonance, and they usually burn out of existence eventually. |
| Culture | Amber dragons lay their eggs in grand mounds on the vast, cultivated plains in which they live. Their whole community serves the young, trains and feeds them, and cares for them. When they reach maturity, each dragon is trained in how to cultivate the land and serve the community. They make alliances with local communities to create vast farming networks and build their hoards. Every harvest season, they hold a massive festival, during which all local communities come together. At this time, the amber dragons find new mates for the year. When amber dragons grow old, they retire and feast. At death, their bodies are used to nurture the soil. |
