| Description | At birth, all dragons look like large, pink worms. At maturity, ochre dragons grow to be beast-headed wyverns covered in ochre fur. |
| 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 | Ochre dragons absorb vast amounts of bestial aether. Flesh, muscle, and blood are very common, as are strong emotional resonances (anger, determination, and lust especially). Damaskian power, kor, symbolism, and viridian aether are also common. Currents, winds, and pattern aether are not unheard of, nor are divine energies. Other powers vary, but msawaht corrupts them. |
| 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 instill ferocity, control animals, sharpen claws and teeth, heighten senses, and stinging touch. |
| Alternate Forms | Ochre dragons take the form of iguanamen or ulagas sometimes. |
| Weaknesses | Msawhat corrupts and harms them. |
| Subspecies | Wild dragons have absorbed so much bestial aether they have become wild animals. They are vicious, dangerous beasts who breathe both venom and flame, and they control all other animals around them, forming a motley pack that hunts the most powerful prey. |
| Culture | Ochre dragons lay their eggs in the canopies of the deep jungles. At least one parent will help raise the young and train them to hunt, and then they will leave them to form their own pack. Ochre dragons live in packs of other dragons their own age, led by the most powerful dragon, and subservient animals and other locals who benefit from their ferocity. This is how they build their hoards as well. When they grow old, they usually die in the hunt. |
