= Ionic Dragons =

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

Habitat
The natural habitat of an ionic dragon is currently unknown, but it may be assumed that they are ubiquitous throughout this 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.

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've short snouts with lips to cover their teeth and light orange eyes with slit pupils.

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, 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. Normally, adult dragons should be viable to reproduce, 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.

It's unknown how long an ionic dragon's lifespan is, but a rogue void eldwurm named Kashurra lived for more than 3000 years. Dragons, including the ionic type, might be comparable to that. However, the maximum age of dragons may vary between species.

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. 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. Their power is 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. This has not been confirmed yet, but later on 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 large creature such as the Eldwurm Slyrak, and somehow its charge was able to affect Davion while he was in the roost of the The Thunder, which is implied to be a plane of existence beyond the material plane. How it managed to affect him in another plane is unknown, but it might just be Slyrak's pain being shared with him rather than the electric shock itself since they're at one with each other on every level: body, soul, and mind. 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.

Personality
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 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.

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.

Habitat
The earth dragons are fossorial creatures, meaning that they are burrowing dragons who spend their lives primarily, but not solely, underground. As such, they make their home in the earth element, dwelling in complex networks of interconnected tunnels that can span for approximately more than hundreds of meters, even bigger if it's excavated by an eldwurm. In these darkling warrens, the earth dragons lay their clutches in nesting chambers.

Characteristics
Incarnations of the material plane's gritty essence, all earth dragons are the element of earth made flesh.

Life Cycle
All eight kinds of dragons undergo a life cycle that consists of five stages, excluding death which is an obvious part of the cycle: the egg, hatchlings, wyrmlings, adults, and eldwurms. So far, we have seen only hatchlings, wyrmlings, and eldwurms of the earth dragon variety. The stage when a dragon can reproduce and lay eggs is currently unclear, but air wyrmlings are seen ferociously guarding their nests, implying that dragons can reproduce once they have grown into wyrmlings. However, it is also currently unknown if this applies to other types. The size of dragon eggs varies from species to species, with the air dragon's eggs being the size of an elephant bird's egg and earth dragon eggs almost reaching the size of an adult human.

It's unknown how long an earth dragon's lifespan is, but a rogue void dragon named Kashurra lived for more than 3000 years. Dragons, including the earth type, might be comparable to that. 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. 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.

Elemental Powers
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. Earth Dragons are the avatars of the earth element. Thus they are as strong as the earth itself, since they embody its aspects of physical strength. Their strength allows them to effortlessly break down the earth to dig tunnels that can vary in size, depending on the size of the dragon that dug it. They break into the earth with their claws, or simply dive into it headfirst as if it were water. Such strength is required to loosen up tons of rock at high speeds.

Burrowing allows them to ambush their prey from below, although they can still be detected by the paths of broken earth that they leave and the ground movements that occur when they're digging. This technique is much more effective when both the dragon and its prey are underground, because there's naught that can signal their presence and where they may strike, besides the earth that shakes whenever they dig. Although one may be occupied with anticipating where and when an earth dragon may come out, one must also be aware of them even while they are burrowing. Earth dragon tunnels that are dug close to the surface can damage the surface's structure. Anyone who stands above these tunnels may be consumed by the brittle earth and fall into their tunnels, potentially putting them into the path of the dragon or the even the dragon itself. Even when not in the path of a burrowing dragon, standing too close to a breaching dragon is dangerous as the sudden discharge of rocks may harm. Thus, it is best to stay out of the path of a burrowing earth dragon, lest one may fall into their tunnels or be caught once they burst out of the earth.

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. 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.

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.

Habitat
Kaden found and slew an ember wyrmling in the frozen wastes near a Dragon Knight redoubt. Besides that, one may assume 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.

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.

On their journey from the Invoker's Tower to return to Coedwig in order to deliver the lotuses, Davion and his fellows Mirana, Marci, Fymryn, and Sagan stumbled upon an air dragon hunting ground. 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, suggesting that this hunting ground was somewhat near Elven territory.

Their hunting grounds are mentioned once again by Luna,

Morphology, physiology, and whatnot
Black dragons have the form of a standard western dragon: a pair of arms and legs and a pair of wings on their shoulders with five long spread out digits tipped with talons that have a membrane between their digits. A black dragon's hands have four digits (three fingers and one thumb) fitted with talons, while their feet have three toes that are also fitted with sharp talons. A black drake's hands have three digits (two fingers and one thumb) fitted with talons. Their feet have three digits (two toes and one hind toe) also fitted with sharp talons. The difference in digits between drakes and dragons may have been left behind when the black dragon was remodeled. Besides, all the black drakes and the black dragons once had their same models before the latter's remodel, the only difference being their size.

They are fully covered in tough dark scales, but smaller drakes don't have scales so much as smooth dragonhide instead. Hence, a black drake's abdominal and back muscles are much more visible. Plus, the difference in having scales between drakes and dragons might be a feature that was left behind when the latter was remodeled. Their tails are tipped with a kite shaped appendage. Lastly, the bones of a dragon's skeleton are tough but light and seem to be akin to bird bones, according to Thesos. This seems to suggest an interesting link that exists between dragons and avian creatures.

With their generic form, the most distinguishable aspect of them is their head which contains lots of dragon oddities. Rather than having the slit pupils of a reptile's eyes or a dragon's eyes, they have round pupils that uncannily resembles human eyes. Their mouth is shaped in an odd way that makes it look like they're always smiling. At the front of their upper jaws are two large fangs. long wagging tongue. overall, goofy despite fearsome. difference in no. of teeth between fangs

Like most dragons, if not all of them, black dragons and drakes stoke their fiery breath in their gullet. This is the same organ where they store their swallowed food, which is gnashed and grinded by the steel or other hard material that they keep in there. Speaking of eating, Grek says that a black dragon can eat multiple prey at once when they're clumped up.

Abilities
The unique exhalation of a black dragon is a luminous purple orb, which is possibly magical in nature. Larger dragons have a stronger orb, gifting it with an explosive that spreads to nearby victims. Like all dragons, they can breath fire. In their case, a black dragon can hurl a concentrated that spills flames on the ground.

A black dragon's dreaded presence exudes a. Nearby allies can draw upon it to toughen themselves against attacks.

According to their, a black drake's gaze can cause its enemies to be more vulnerable to the ravages of sorcery.

Hunting
The remains of a dragon, such as a, retains some of the powers and properties that it had in life. Hence, their remains outvalue even the largest dragon hoard.
