= Ionic Dragons =

Ionic dragons are a species of fundamental dragon exclusive to the series of Dota: Dragon's Blood.

Habitat
The natural habitat of the ionic dragons is currently unknown, but it can be assumed that they are ubiquitous throughout the Earth, since the cataclysm of the planet forced all of the eight Eldwurm souls to retreat into their final vessel Davion who was in the Earthlike planet of Dragon's Blood, implying that all life on the planet (including ionic dragons) was killed and there was no other vessel left in the world for the dragon souls to inhabit.

Morphology
Incarnations of the charge that binds all of existence together, all ionic dragons are the force of electromagnetism made flesh. Based on the only two appearances that these ionic dragons have ever made in the series, the bodies of these dragons are heavily inspired by the dragons of Chinese mythology. They have serpentine bodies with four short limbs. Their own body is covered in blue protuberances—which appears to be fleshy—that juts out of their back and limbs, and also forms their crest, beard, and eyebrows. Glowing energy flows through these protuberances, suggesting that they brim with the dragon's power. Their four-fingered hands and three-toed feet are tipped with blue claws. Their dorsal scales are grey while their ventral scales are white. Lastly, they have short snouts with lips to cover their teeth and light orange eyes with slit pupils in them, very similar to real-life reptiles. Alongside the void dragons, ionic dragons lack any sort of wings, a feature that the other six dragon types possess. Ionic dragons are also one of the few types of dragons to have what appears to be hair or fur (along with water eldwurms), which composes their sable mane. The end of their tail is also tipped with this black hair or fur.

Life Cycle
All eight kinds of dragons undergo a life cycle that consists of four stages, excluding birth (in the form of a dragon's eggs) and death which are obvious stages of the cycle: hatchlings, wyrmlings, adults, and eldwurms. For the ionic type, only the wyrmlings and eldwurms have been shown, the former making one appearance as a dismembered carcass in Dragon Hold and the latter displayed in Indrak's physical form, which is that of an ionic eldwurm. The stage when a dragon can reproduce and oviposit is currently unknown. By definition, an adult dragon should be able to lay eggs, but air wyrmlings are seen aggressively protecting their nest, implying that a dragon may reproduce once it has grown into a wyrmling. However, it is also currently unknown if this applies to the other dragon types. Dragon egg sizes vary from species to species, with an air dragon's egg approximately being the size of an elephant bird's egg and an earth dragon's egg almost reaching the size of an adult human. Ionic dragon eggs and their reproductive whatnot have yet to be seen. The show's lore doesn't go too deep into dragon biology though, so it's probably not too important to talk about. It's unknown how long an ionic dragon's lifespan is, but a rogue water eldwurm named Auroth lived for more than thousands of years and rogue void eldwurm named Kashurra lived 3000 years as a separate dragon from the Thunder. Dragons, including the ionic type, might be comparable to that. But given the circumstances surrounding Auroth's and Kashurra's unique existence, this may or may not apply to other dragons. Flesh is ephemeral. Like everything else in the material plane, these lesser dragons are not eternal or immortal and will eventually succumb to old age as an eldwurm or die from other causes, natural or not. Their life may wane very slowly as they age, but their elemental or fundamental powers will grow stronger but never weaker as they grow older and reach the summit of their powers when they grow into an eldwurm.

Fundamental Powers
So far, these dragons are never seen using their power while alive. Instead, we learn about their power from their remains being used as weapons. Like all other elemental and fundamental dragons, their powers remains active and ready to be used even after their death, the amount of power preserved in their remains being roughly proportional to the dragon's age before it died. Like all dragons, they work their powers by bending the laws of nature to control their dominion, the electromagnetic force. Kaden used the teeth of an ionic dragon to interrogate Davion on Slyrak's whereabouts. He claimed that they can force those who are pierced by them to tell the truth, but it didn't seem to work on Davion who didn't tell him the truth of him harboring Slyrak's soul. Later, we see that their bite carries a powerful electric current that can also prevent the regeneration of the wound that it is embedded on. The tooth's electric current is powerful enough to electrocute a creature as large as as the Ember Eldwurm Slyrak. The extreme power within a single ionic dragon's tooth was displayed in the final episode of Book 2, courtesy of Kaden. He threw an ionic dragon tooth towards the rogue void eldwurm Kashurra to electrocute him with a small but violent storm of massive lightning bolts. Although they didn't do anything to harm Kashurra in the slightest, their power is quite impressive nevertheless, being able to exude massive levins from such a teensy vessel of power. One can only imagine the vast power of an ionic dragon's jaws lined with all of its teeth if just a single tooth contains such power. We never see these ionic dragons use their power while alive (yet), but the dragon-forged armaments of the Dragon Knights are a glimpse of what they are capable of while alive. Dragon Hold's supply of electroshock weaponry all comes from these types of dragons. Kaden's gauntlets can channel an ionic dragon's power, as evident in their ability to be charged with electricity that can enhance his punches. Ionic dragons were also used to make bolts for Dragon Hold's ballista emplacements. These bolts can deliver an electric current that is powerful enough to shock a creature as big as a wyrmling, as seen on the left picture. A shield in Dragon Hold's armoury that might have been forged from an ionic dragon has the ability to project an electric barrier bigger than the shield itself. The barrier can repel and electrocute anyone foolish enough to contact it when it's up. Said barrier can also redirect attacks that are less tangible such as the freezing breath of water wyrmlings. Its ability to repel stuff with electricity may have been based from electromagnetism and its repulsive properties, particularly electricity's.

Besides its ability to channel electrical powers, one can tell that this shield is an ionic dragon's product from the blue triskelion on the face of the shield. This triskelion is made from the same blue appendages that jut all over the head and the back of an ionic dragon, best seen on the form of the Eldwurm Indrak. Ionic Soul Storm Anime.gif When the Invoker harnessed the ionic soul's power over the electromagnetic force through the Forge to battle Terrorblade's possessed army of dragons (and Drysi), he was able to summon a violent and powerful thunderstorm that covered the surrounding area outside of his tower. This range allowed him to electrocute his entire army with unrelenting electricity until he switched to the soul of chaos to finish them off. Although this is a power inherent to the soul of Indrak, the spirit of all ionic dragons, it's unknown if the ionic dragons themselves have this kind of power over the weather. After all, Terrorblade calls dragons creatures who lack cunning and creativity over their powers. However, it is definitely certain that the ionic soul itself can command lightning storms. Hybrion Ionic Orbs Anime.gif Hybrion Ionic Electrocute Anime.gif In the hands of an incomplete Hybrion who only possessed the four fundamental souls and the soul of air, he can generate orbs of electricity in his hands before hurling them at his targets. A successful hit causes the target to be electrocuted for a brief duration. This incomplete Hybrion was also able to conduct Indrak's electricity through the void tendrils of Byssrak. He used this technique on the demon Terrorblade whom he restrained and constricted with multiple void tendrils, before coursing electricity through these tendrils to electrocute him. Hybrion Ionic Blade Anime.gif A more complete version of Hybrion with all eight dragon souls had the ability to create a massive blade made of bright blue energy. The visual and sound effects suggest that this is not a blade created with the soul of Lirrak, but rather Indrak's soul and thus this might be a blade of light or electricity. This massive blade was powerful enough to shatter the Invoker's shield, which already sustained too much damage from Hybrion's previous attacks. Once again, it is unknown if the lesser ionic dragons have the power to wield this, especially with their lack of imagination and preference to brute force any problems as Terrorblade said.

Behavior
A joint and coordinated siege on Dragon Hold and its knights by swarms of earth wyrmlings and water wyrmlings controlled by Terrorblade was noted by Kaden and Ritterfau as an unnatural and impossible behavior, implying that Dragons from different species naturally do not cooperate with each other for a mutual purpose, let alone plan and work together to attack nondragon settlements in a seemingly organized manner, like pack hunting. Migration was mentioned by Bram as a natural behavior among dragons, such as the ember, water, and earth dragons heading together towards the Broken Peaks that he and the Dragon Knights tracked. He also mentions convergence, an example being the water and earth dragons travelling together towards Dragon Hold to destroy it, which might be a new discovery of dragon behavior, albeit an unnatural kind due to Terrorblade's interference. According to Kaden, ionic dragons cannot lie. Their sovereign Indrak deals only in objective facts and speaks only the truth. This seems to imply that they have a personality, despite the fact that all dragons that aren't Eldwurms are just soulless and mindless beasts.

The Song
song is synonymous with speech, expression

no will of its own, no voice of its own

The Eldwurms
The sovereign of these ionic dragons is the Ionic Eldwurm Indrak, The Father of Lightning. These dragons, especially the oldest eldwurms, are the natural and compatible vessels of his soul, allowing him to incarnate in our world through their soulless bodies, or as the Eldwurms often call it, the flesh illusion—their physical manifestation in this world, which isn't their true form, thence flesh illusion.

Besides the electromagnetic force that he is, Indrak's own embodiment spans every ionic dragon in existence. His embodiment also includes every aspect of every ionic dragon. Hence the perception of every ionic dragon is also his own. He is aware of whatever these dragons are aware of, and he can sense whatever these dragons may sense, because they are all just one whole being called Indrak. For instance, Indrak was aware that a dead ionic dragon's tooth activated its powers and electrocuted Slyrak's physical form with it, going so far as to say that it was his doing and that it belonged to him. Proof that ionic dragons are indeed Indrak himself, but for sake of convenience, they shall be separate in name only, but not in essence or identity.

Since the ionic dragons are just extensions of Indrak's embodiment, he can bend lesser ionic dragons to his will. Terrorblade demonstrated this ability when he harnessed the spirits of Uldorak and Lirrak to control swarms of earth wyrmlings and water wyrmlings to lay siege to Dragon Hold.

On the other hand, these lesser dragons can detect if another dragon (or in some cases, another flesh illusion such as the human Davion) is possessed by the soul of an Eldwurm. Any lesser dragon can sense an Eldwurm inside of its chosen vessel, even if both of them are a different type of dragon from each other. A bunch of air wyrmlings stopped attacking Davion in their nest when they realized that he was the flesh illusion of Slyrak, causing them to flee.

all dragons are one, should this be included?

Hunting
The Dragon Knights of Dragon Hold slay all kinds of dragons as part of their purpose to protect this world from its dragon scourge, including this ionic dragon species.

Despite all the death, destruction, and suffering that they inflict upon lesser beings, the Dragon Knights still respect these creatures, with the full knowledge that they are still savage and wild animals. Part of these Knights' creed includes honoring every dragon that they kill. This is not an empty credo, for they respect these dragons by making them useful even in death, harvesting every part of their remains—scales, flesh, and bone—to fashion into many useful stuff: weapons, armor, miscellaneous equipment, and even food or other luxuries. Sometimes, a village that survives a dragon-strike may keep the remains of their dragon terrorizer as a trophy, courtesy of the Dragon Knight/s who responded to the attack.

Ionic dragons are no exception, their remains crafted into equipment that retains its power as seen in the "Fundamental Powers" section above.

As their name implies, void dragons live and travel around the void of outer space.

Fundamental Powerss
It is all in the name: void dragons are extensions of the dark and empty vacuum of the cosmos. Thus, as the embodiments of the void, their powers can harness the umbral chasm of the cosmos to great effect. It's important to note that the void that they embody is different from actual nothingness. Their inherent power also includes the gravitational force.

Like all other elemental and fundamental dragons, their power remains active and ready to be used even after their deaths, the amount of powers preserved in their remains is roughly proportional to the dragon's age before it died.

bend the laws of nature to work their powers Void dragons can increase or decrease the influence of gravity on themselves and on the environment around them, proportionally changing the mass of the two dependent variables. Their control is quite precise, allowing them to affect one target at a time to multiple targets at once. They can decrease the influence of gravity on their target/s to the point that they can achieve microgravity. This allows them to cause their target/s to float and ease the movement of heavier objects. Decreasing the influence of gravity on themselves, they can become almost weightless, allowing them to float freely in the air. This feature may be the reason why they don't need or even have wings to fly. Decreasing the pressure of gravity on others or their environment, they achieve the same results of reaching microgravity: reducing their target's mass to cause them to float up, making them easier to carry without the hindrances of weight. However, they can utilize this ability for combative purposes. Void dragons can subject objects to microgravity, allowing them to pick up targets and move them around freely. Uses include causing things to float in mid-air before moving them around or discarding them in a violent manner, such as throwing them away at high speeds.

They can also increase the pressure of gravity on themselves and their surroundings. A void dragon can increase its own weight by strengthening gravity's influence on their bodies, making them even heavier. This adds more mass to their bodies, making them exert more force than usual. Plus, their mass increases in proportion to the force acting against it. Kaden's sword and Dragon Hold's makeshift restraints, both made from void dragon, use this power to counter physical strength.

Increasing the pressure of gravity on others, void dragons can mire lone targets or entire armies. The increased gravity pushes down on the forms of their targets from every angle, holding them in place. Victims and objects alike will vibrate violently due to the crushing pressure that they feel pushing them from every direction, threatening to crush them if their captor strengthens its grip further. It can grow so powerful that the surroundings of the target appear to collapse towards them, hinting at its power warping spacetime itself (just like real-life gravity). For personal defense, void dragons can form a spherical, dark shield around them. It can be formed partially to cover one direction or it can envelop them entirely to protect from all angles. Since gravity does not have repulsive properties to repel incoming attacks like a shield would do, it may be assumed that it is of the void instead. This is supported by Kashurra's use of these shields in his human body, when he made a sable shield that protected him from Mirana's arrows by blocking them first, before sending her stopped arrows through a mysterious rift that leads to an unknown place where the arrows will bring no harm to him. Speaking of rifts, void dragons can open massive rifts for teleportation. The order of Dragon Knights exploited this by making portal scrolls out of the remains of slain void dragons, giving them access to teleportation at the cost of blood magic. When Kashurra used this ability, the portal tore nearby victims and objects (excluding himself) from the ground and into the rift. It is possible that this portal is opened using the dragon's power of gravity, since gravity can manipulate spacetime. What lies beyond this rift is uncertain.

When Kashurra used this power, it looked like his portal led to outer space, because the portal sucked in air and objects into itself, like a vacuum or a decompression chamber in sci-fi media. This is because it leads to a vacuum that has no gravity to hold down our atmosphere, causing air to blow into the portal and carry away anyone unfortunate to be in the way. This is fictitious thanks to the boring laws of physics, by the way. It may be some sort of gravity portal that sucks objects in like a superdense center of gravity. Said gravity portal may also lead to outer space or some otherworldly dimension.

Perhaps the most versatile power in a void dragon's disposal is their ability to summon orbs of darkness. They can have four orbs active at most, and these orbs have up to four known applications that are listed below. All in all, void dragons are nature at its nastiest with their powers of gravity and darkness. One can only imagine the power and versatility of the other fundamental dragon types...
 * The first and simplest ability is the orb's energy beam. Besides its destructive potential, there is nothing special about this beam. However, it did make a brief lightning storm when this beam was shot towards the clouds. How it managed to do that is currently unknown.
 * The orb's second ability is pulling in nearby objects into itself, akin to a vortex. Just like void dragon portals, it's unknown where do these vortices lead to. But it's known that these dark vortices can consume even less tangible stuff such as flame.
 * It appears that these orbs can also open portals. The orb appears on the heart of the dragon and expands until it shoots a beam that opens up a portal.
 * Lastly, these orbs can fire dark prehensile tendrils, great for grabbing, restraining, and constriction. One orb can fire five tendrils at most.

Intelligence
they should be smart because manipulating gravity, a complicated force, with impressive results and displays of power takes skill

Notable Dragons
Kashurra is a void eldwurm. Like all other void dragons, he was merely a part of the Void Eldwurm's vast embodiment, until he was torn away by the power of both Nemesis Stones. He was granted the prerequisites and the status of being an individual entity as a result: his own voice, a name and identity, and his very own consciousness. He also had the ability to morph into a human form while still being able to use his powers in that state, just like another dragon named Auroth the.

The Eldwurmss
The sovereign of all void dragons is the Void Eldwurm Byssrak. These void dragons, especially their oldest eldwurms, are the natural and compatible vessels of his soul, allowing him to incarnate in our world through their soulless bodies, or as the Eldwurms often call it, the flesh illusion—their physical manifestation in the terrene plane, the former of which isn't their real form, thence the word "flesh illusion".

All void dragons are mere extensions of Byssrak's embodiment. Byssrak's being is like the body of a vast creature, while his void dragons are nothing but his body parts that have no mind of their own. A mere finger is a part of a human, but it does not think or have a mind of its own, otherwise it would be a completely distinct and separate creature. One refers to a person's finger as their finger, and not with a name that refers to it as a unique being. Perhaps you could name your own finger, but that would be delusional. That is what a void dragon is. Parts of a massive creature named Byssrak that span across existence. Because of this, he can perceive through all of these dragons like sensory organs, even if said dragons are dead and reduced to smaller body parts. For instance, his fellow Eldwurm Indrak was aware that a dead ionic dragon's tooth activated its powers and electrocuted Slyrak's physical form with it, going so far as to say that it was his doing and that it belonged to him.

Since the void dragons are just extensions of Byssrak's embodiment, he can bend lesser void dragons to his will. Terrorblade demonstrated this ability when he harnessed the spirits of Uldorak and Lirrak to control swarms of earth wyrmlings and water wyrmlings to lay siege to Dragon Hold.

On the other hand, these lesser dragons can detect if another dragon (or in some cases, another flesh illusion such as the human Davion) is possessed by the soul of an Eldwurm. Any lesser dragon can sense an Eldwurm inside of its chosen vessel, even if both of them are a different type of dragon from each other. A bunch of air wyrmlings stopped attacking Davion in their nest when they realized that he was the flesh illusion of Slyrak, causing them to flee.

Hunting
The Dragon Knights of Dragon Hold slaughter all types of dragons to protect the world of mortals from its draconic scourge, including the rare void dragon species.

Despite all of the deaths, destruction, and suffering that they inflict upon lesser beings, the Dragon Knights still respect these creatures with the full knowledge that they are still savage and wild animals. Part of these knights' creed includes honoring every dragon that they destroy. This isn't an empty credo, for they respect these dragons by making them useful even in death, harvesting every part of their remains—scales, flesh, and bones—to fashion into many useful stuff: weaponry, armor, miscellaneous equipment and even cuisines or other luxuries. Sometimes, a village that survives a dragon-strike may get to keep the remains of their dragon terrorizer as a trophy, courtesy of the Dragon Knight/s who responded to the attack.

Void dragons are no exception, their remains crafted into equipment that retains its power. The best example of an equipment that was forged from these void dragons is the blade of the Dragon Knight Kaden. This sword retains its prowess of gravity, such as its ability to increase its own mass with gravity in proportion to its target's mass, adding more mass to its strikes based on its target's (hence more damage) to close the weight gap between the sword and a larger target, effectively turning their physical strength against them.

Wyrmlings, adults, and eldwurms of the water element alike have a freezing exhalation with a chill that's deep to the marrow, freezing their victims into brittle statues of ice. Mere wyrmlings can only freeze a small cluster of people and the area around them at most, while eldwurms like Auroth and Lirrak can create a massive ice wall with their breath, the former's ice wall being large enough to entrap swarms of wyrmlings and latter's breath being powerful enough to shatter the magic barrier of the Invoker's  orb. The captured soul of Lirrak gave the demon Terrorblade access to her omnipotence over the water element. Demonstrating a fraction of her own power, the incarcerated lord of Foulfell appeared to the Invoker outside of his tower in the form of a rainstorm. He further displays Lirrak's power by accumulating uncounted amounts of suspended raindrops into a large disc of water where he could manifest his image in its reflection.

Since it was only shown in the hands of Terrorblade who used Lirrak's water soul, it is unknown if the corporeal dragons have such power over the weather. What's definitely certain is the power of the water soul over liquid water and water vapor. Thru Hybrion, a being composed of Davion's body filled with the souls of eight Eldwurms, his water spirit allows him to emit a bright chill that can freeze an entire fragmented meteor from the Mad Moon and draw the frozen fragments towards him to unleash an unrelenting salvo of ice shards powerful enough to damage the Invoker's shield, which sustained loads of damage from Hybrion's previous usage of the Eldwurms' powers.

Just like when Hybrion taps into the other Eldwurms' powers, Hybrion bears changes to his physical body upon attuning to the elements of water, including two pairs of icy wings and bright blue eyes like the color of ice.

Trivia

 * Water dragons may have been inspired by Winter Wyvern's depictions as a dragon who's capable of swimming, such as her Secrets of the Katekhein set.

Habitat
The natural habitat of a luminous dragon is currently unknown, but it can be assumed that they are ubiquitous throughout the planet (or even the universe) since all dragons are at one with creation and they must be found wherever their respective elements or forces may be in existence.

Fundamental Powers
So far, these dragons are never seen using their power while alive. Instead, we learn about their power from their remains being used as weapons. Like all other elemental and fundamental dragons, their powers remains active and ready to be used even after their death, the amount of power preserved in their remains being roughly proportional to the dragon's age before it died. Their power is the strong nuclear force.

The cyan scales of a luminous dragon can emit a bright light that's useful for illuminating dark areas and can be used as a beacon. Davion owns a retractable bracer blade that was forged from a wyrmling of this species. Small though it may be, this blade is Davion's trusty weapon and it is surprisingly tough. It's strong enough to cut through the tough scales of an earth wyrmling (which can withstand metal swords and cause them to break upon their scales) and cut through thick metal chains. When Mirana used this blade, she was able to collapse a cave's ceiling with just a single strike and dig into Slyrak's thick scales to climb him. However, the blade was too small to pierce through his scales, so it didn't harm him. It's possible that a luminous dragon's power can forcefully deactivate a chaos dragon's power. The scene on the left shows Mirana attempting to pierce Kaden's armor (which was still active with a chaos dragon's power, allowing him to phase out of existence and teleport) with Davion's bracer blade, but the blade failed to even dent his armor. However, the power flowing through his cuirass dissipated seconds after she did that. Ever since that happened, Kaden was not able to draw upon his chaos dragon powers to battle Slyrak, only being able to use it to summon his helmet (which wasn't affected since it was not on his person during the time he was struck). Master Ritterfau's main weapon was a sword that may have been forged from a luminous dragon, evident in its golden hilt and its bright power. When its power is activated, the blade will glow with white light. While lit, the sword's slashes produce trails of light, and wounds made from this sword glow with a golden light. Whether this light is incandescent or luminescent is unknown, but it could be the latter given that the former is attributed to Slyrak. What this light does in practice is unknown, but it's possible that it enhances the damage output of the weapon that's imbued by this light.

Davion's retractable bracer blade is made from the cyan scale of a luminous wyrmling. It still retains its light–bearing properties, so it serves him well as a decent source of light that helps him see in dark areas.

Many useful things can be crafted out of an ember dragon's remains. Because their remains retain their fiery and explosive properties, incendiary weapons are often fashioned from these dragons. Weapons such as Dragon Hold's ballista bolts and spears that are made from these dragons can set targets on fire and explode upon contact in a fiery blast, respectively. Another example of a weapon forged from ember dragons is the dragon scale arrowheads that Kaden gave to Mirana in a small pocket, which she later used to fight Slyrak by shooting his exposed wound, which was the only way for her to harm the Ember Eldwurm whose scales were completely impervious to her weapons.

Answers to the mystery of air dragon territories can be found in clues that mention them.

Somewhere along their journey from the Invoker's hidden tower to the Elven enclave of Coedwig, the band of Heroes stumbled upon a hunting ground for air dragons. The hunting ground covered a large canyon and the vast forest ahead of it, where they're nested in a big cave. They passed through this hunting ground on their way to Coedwig which is found deep in the forest. To the north of this territory is Coedwig, as implied by Kaden who was able to track down Davion after he left the cave with Fymryn. This suggests that the hunting ground was somewhere near Elven territory.

Their hunting grounds are mentioned once again by Luna when she was considering where the remaining troops of the Dark Moon Order will go next. She mentioned a narrow canyon that was sandwiched by an air dragon hunting ground and a cold mountainous area. The air dragon hunting ground beside this pass may be the same one that Davion and the crew crossed.

Morphology, physiology, and whatnot
Although air dragons are not called wyverns as such in the show, they do have the bodies of wyverns with their huge pair of wings being their sole forelimbs and possessing one pair of birdlike legs. Generally across all forms of an air dragon's stages, they are distinguished by their immaculate white scales and wing membranes as well as their tough black protrusions such as their horns, crest, scale tips, spines, etc. that proliferate on their body as they grow older. Wyrmlings and eldwurms have a pair of tail fins akin to an aircraft's horizontal stabilizers. Their eyes are light blue with dark slit pupils. Overall, their bodies are inspired by real-life birds of prey. Air hatchlings are only seen as a skeleton specimen pickled in a jar, depicted on the right picture. To the left, their eggs are also shown to be approximately the size of an elephant bird's egg or an ostrich's egg, so they must be slightly smaller so as to fit in their big eggs.

To the right, one may tell that air hatchlings have two stubby horns, big eyes, and a short snout. For some reason, they only have three talons instead of the five talons of wyrmlings and eldwurms. As hatchlings grow into wyrmlings, their features become more developed as they grow larger and new aspects spring out. Air wyrmlings have a pair of slightly curved, ridged and long horns on their heads. Their heads are covered in dark protrusions, but the most notable ones are on the tip of their snout and chin, forming a beaklike protuberance. The dark spines run along the nape for a short distance before terminating on the end of the neck's first half. Their scales are mostly white, save for a few scales and protrusions on several parts of their body: legs, fore-tail, back, and wings. They have no lips to cover their gums and sharp white teeth.

Eldwurms seem to completely lose the beaklike protuberances that wyrmlings have for unknown reasons. All that remains of it is the spikes on their chin. Their horns also appear to be receding, but the dark spines on their nape grow much longer. Two of the spines behind their lower jaw also grow longer and now point slightly towards the snout's direction in an acute angle. Also, they have noticeably less teeth than a wyrmling, plus theirs have grown black like their protuberances for some reason. Air eldwurms have a large paddle-shaped tail with an unknown purpose. Unlike the cleaner white scales of a wyrmling, eldwurms have many dark spots scattered on their bodies and more of their protrusions and scales' tips are darkened. One of the unique bodily features of air wyrmlings and air eldwurms are the sails on their back. For some reason it is relatively larger on wyrmlings than on eldwurms, perhaps because it has become less useful for an eldwurm's flight. For the wyrmlings, these sails remain folded until they use it before propelling themselves with their signature air burst. Before propelling themselves, they unfold their sails and tuck their wings and legs close to their body. Not claiming to know much about aerodynamics, perhaps tucking in any protrusions is used to reduce drag akin to real-life falcons, but the sail's purpose during propulsion remains as speculation. Like the real-life birds of prey they were modelled after, air dragons appear to have excellent eyesight.

power proportional to age Complimenting the air dragon's excellent flight capabilities is their ability to propel themselves forward with a powerful blast of air. This ability is easily distinguished by the sound it makes, which is similar to the sound of a zipper.

Air dragons often use this ability to boost their flight speed, allowing them to quickly pursue their prey. As shown in the previous section, they fold their wings and tuck them legs close to their bodies (in the same vein as a peregrine falcon) before opening their sail on their back. With their now streamlined body and its sail An air wyrmling can slightly disturb the winds in the areas it is flying in, foreboding its dreaded presence to anyone who feels a gentle breeze. This power by itself is completely harmless, though.

Their ability to stir up the winds into breezes is also demonstrated when they fly through tight spaces, like a cavern tunnel, as shown on the right. Even in these conditions, the power is utterly harmless, but one should still watch out for the passing dragon. Davion's broken sword from the very first Chapter of the first Book makes a return thanks to Bram's skill with Dragon Hold's foundry. Not only was its broken tip restored, but it was also reforged with air dragon remains, imbuing it with aerial power.

The sword's latent power must be activated akin to Kaden's brand. Once active, slashing with this sword causes it to project a sharp current of air strong enough to disperse an ember wyrmling's flames and cut it in half afterwards, effortlessly cutting through its thick scales before slicing this beast's flesh and bones. In the hands of the Invoker, he tapped into the powers of the soul of the air element along with the souls of the four fundamental forces using the Forge to defend against the swarm of dragons possessed by Terrorblade. Using Aethrak's soul allowed him to release an expanding wave of air to knock the ember dragons and water dragons away before lashing the winds upon the earth dragons below him to knock them back.

It's unknown if any of the Air dragons have that much degree of control over their element, seeing how they're simple creatures as pointed out by the demon Terrorblade.

Bram and Davion mentioned migration as one of the (presumably general) natural behaviors of dragons.
