| Description | At birth, all dragons look like large, pink worms. At maturity, cerulean dragons grow to be flying cerulean serpents with three, six, or nine heads. These heads multiply if damaged. |
| 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 | Cerulean dragons have absorbed huge quantiies of complexity. Recursion, possibility, flux, paradox, psionics, mana, poioumenon, yahas, kor, and symbolism are also common. Other powers vary greatly. |
| 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 control mists, see from all angles, inmortality, 360 analytical sense, and create aritficial intelligence. |
| Alternate Forms | Cerulean dragons will take the form of mists if they need to. |
| Weaknesses | Ethereal bonding to anything simple will kill them. |
| Subspecies | Recrusive dragons are cerulean dragons who have absorbed so much complexity they have collapsed in on themselves and become recursive energy. These beasts are serpentine infinity loops which emit vast paradoxical energies that alter the reality around them. |
| Culture | Cerulean dragons dwell in the places in between, manifesting in the prime plane only rarely. They lay their eggs in impossible structures within the Seams and protect them and tend them, usually just one parent at a time. They raise their young until they can fend for themselves, then send them as kren-oesteri, into the depths of the Seams to grow and learn. Once they are powerful enough, they rise into the main realms of the Seams and seek knowledge, understanding, systems, and complexities, until they find a mate they deem worthy. One of them stops to raise the child, the other continues their quest. When they grow old, they wander off and are lost in the Seams. |
