| Description | At birth, all dragons look like large, pink worms. At maturity, dragons grow to be great, crimson lizards with wings and hypnotic eyes. |
| 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 | Crimson dragons absorb hatred resonance, infernum, and arnum in vast quantities. They also tend to accumulate rending, blood, Damaskian power, muscle, gebvel, kor, rubedian aether, earthpower, white tiger aether, bestial aether, mystery, and divine energies. Holy powers are impossible, as is love resonance. |
| 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 enact revenge, sadistic empathy, destroy/burn love, napalm breath weapon, and enrage crowd. |
| Alternate Forms | Crimson dragons sometimes take the form of a goblin. |
| Weaknesses | Love will harm them. |
| Subspecies | Avenging dragons are dragons who have accumulated more hatred resonance than most. They appear to be masked worms made of crimson, bloody scales, and they are surrounded by flame and smoke. They have an enraging presence, terrify all who see them, and suck the love out of their environments, turning it into flame. |
| Culture | Crimson dragons lay their eggs in mountain caves, where they abandon them if they don't intentionally and spitefully crush them to avenge themselves on the one who raped them. One in twenty survive to maturity. As youth, they must survive brutal lives of being hunted and bullied by older dragons. Once mature, they must prove themselves to the other adults by killing someone powerful. If they fail, they are deemed kren-anak, and they are banished. Banished dragons are either hunted for sport or they survive long enough to meet other banished dragons and band together for survival, hating each other and those who banished them. Those who are not banished live in vicious gangs ruled by the strongest among them, and they seek have longstanding vendettas, feuds, and grudges. Mating is done almost entirely through coersion and opportunity, and the elderly are killed by those they have wronged. |
