Dragons and Draconids

Explanation of Concept
Dragons are, well, self explanatory. Large, scaly, flying, fire breathing lizards. Seeden Prime dragons are not limited to fire breath, however. All dragons can turn into a humanoid form that are nearly identical variants of elves.

Draconids are defined as anything that is similar to a dragon Meaning anything that is either large, scaly, flying, fire breathing, or reptilian.

More explanation will be given in each section.

Dragon Species

 * Deathwing - Split between Indonesian and South African sub variants. Are small, quick, and powerful. They are generally dark colored, with Indonesian Deathwings having bright colored underbellies and highlights. They have venomous spikes that form a club-like formation on their tail. They have a large tooth-like spike in the front of their mouths that acts as a lightning rod for their breath weapon, which is lightning. While shaped more like a chicken than a traditional dragon, they are nonetheless considered the most dangerous dragons on the planet.
 * Dreadfang - Split between Palestinian and Brazilian sub variants. These are the largest dragons on the planet. Their bodies are long and slender, spanning around 4 kilometers from end to end. Their breath weapon is a ice shard attack that spawns from its many rows of teeth. As of the most recent book, Palestinian Dreadfangs are extinct.
 * Magmafang - Split between Eastern and Western sub variants. These are what you'd expect when you hear the word dragon. They are large, red, four legged, two winged fire breathers. They are around the size of a town house, and are covered in tough scales. While the most stereotypical dragon, they are nonetheless incredibly deadly and powerful. A true force to be reckoned with.
 * Ground Basker - Split between normal and erupting sub variants. These bigguns are the largest non-Dreadfang dragon. They have huge, rocky growths on their back that the use as camouflage, which in all honesty, they don't need. In addition to their massive amount of strength and enormous, rocky, tusks they can projectile vomit lava. And yes, that is their breath weapon. Erupting Ground Baskers have their rocky carapace replaced by an ever erupting volcano. These are the alphas of the group, and are nearly twice as large.
 * Howlodon - Has no sub variants, but has adapted to the environments it inhabits by changing color and size. These are pack hunters from the temperate regions. They are, in essence, draconic wolves. They look like wolves, but have scales instead of fur and horns instead of ears. They coat their front fangs in electricity and bite with enough force to break rock. This, of course, has replaced their breath weapon.
 * Needlepine -
 * Whisperwind -
 * Perishwing -
 * Plorr'orr -
 * Atlanticora -

Dragon Eggs and Gestation
Dragons are unique among the sentient humanoids of Seeden Prime, in that they have a gestation period of around one year. They also lay eggs, rather than living

Overall, dragon pregnancies are almost entirely the same as human pregnancies, just extended by a few more months. Typically, the mother's abdomen begins to expand around the three months mark, and fully expands at eleven months. The final month generally consists of pain and cramping, until the egg(s) are laid.

Dragon eggs are very sturdy and typically require some form of extreme temperature to hatch, all depending on the dragon. The incubation period lasts two months, after which the baby dragon will break free of the egg and begin breastfeeding until it reaches one year of age. After the dragon has lived for a year it will begin to grasp the form changing ability all dragons possess.

In some cases the dragon egg requires special conditions in order to properly incubate. One notable instance is the Indonesian Deathwing, which must coat their eggs in sulphur in order to hatch.
