Dragon

Dragons are giant winged, fire-breathing reptilian creatures. Widely regarded as terrifying yet awe-inspiring, they can be found all over the world and are frequently referred to in Asian and medieval European folklore.

Being able to fly and breathe fire through their mouths and nostrils, they are one of the most dangerous and hardest to conceal creatures in the witching world. They are known witch killers that are impossible to train or domesticate. Despite how dangerous they are, there are people who are trained to work with them, called dragon keepers.

Early Life
Dragon mothers breathe fire on their eggs to keep them warm. They do not keep their eggs in nests. The dragon's first fire breaths, usually accompanied by thick gray smoke, appear when the dragon is around six months old. However, the ability to fly is developed later, at around twelve months, and the dragon will not be fully mature until it is two years old and ready to live on its own.

Social Behavior
Not much is known about dragon behavior; however, it seems that, at least with the Chinese Fireball, females are generally larger and dominant over males. Similarly, the Antipodean Opaleye females will sometimes oust males from their territories.

Dragons are generally highly aggressive towards anything, even witches, and will sometimes attack humans without provocation, such as in the case of the Ilfracombe Incident.

Breeds
There is no officially sanctioned breeding of dragons, as dragon-breeding was outlawed globally in 1709. However, they have been known to interbreed, producing rare hybrids. Below is a list of the twelve known pure-bred breeds of dragons.
