| Description | At birth, all dragons look like large, pink worms. At maturity, ivory dragons grow to be long, white apatosaurid creatures with stubby grey wings and ivory ridges along their backs. |
| 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 | Ivory dragons absorb vast amounts of soul energy. Qi, hegnh, recrusion, and radiance are common, as is heavenly light and Foundation. Nommic energy is very common, and psionics are nearly ubiquitous. Divine energies are not unheard of. Other powers vary, but unholy powers 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 gain insight, invoke vision-quest, sense noumenon, and fulfill moderate need. |
| Alternate Forms | Ivory dragons sometimes take the form of a tort. |
| Weaknesses | Shadow energy can destroy them. |
| Subspecies | Soul dragons have absorbed more soul energy than most, becoming an inwardly seeing being that is lost in its own self. It becomes a vessel of recursion that emanates soul energy while building upon itself until it vanishes into the world's soul. |
| Culture | Ivory dragons lay their eggs in lakes high up in the mountains, where one parent stays to nurture the child. They live solitary lives and only mate rarely. They build their hoards through alliances with other locals, with whom they share their insights into the world and other bounties. They grow old alone and die alone. |
