Dragon

Dragons are exceedingly rare, and eggs are only lain for each member of the Elvish royal family. They are strikingly intelligent creatures who live about as long as the average elf (4000 years), and soon after they hatch they form a special bond with the royal elf. This bond allows them to communicate back and forth through thought, and connects them on a deep and emotional level.

Dragons can communicate with other people through thoughts only, since they have no vocal chords. In general, dragons are very picky about who they speak with, and so very few people know they can actually communicate.

Dragons can be of a variety of types, although most are fire dragons. They are fertile for most of their life which is what allows the race to continue living despite the lack of Elvish royalty, although when the Elf they are bonded to passes away, many dragons go insane or die as well.

Alaric's dragon is a light orange male dragon that breathed fire, and his name is Therion. He is one of the few dragons that stayed perfectly sane after the death of his master.

Mihail's dragon is a deep red female dragon that also breathes fire, and her name is Skotos.
