Dragons of Mystinar R.C.C.:

Dragons of Mystinar R.C.C.:

The Dragons that live on the planet Mystinar are very different from the ones seen on Rifts Earth and the Palladium world. This document details these differences.

First off, Dragon eggs are not like normal eggs. They appear as a hollow glass ball, two feet wide and the walls being 1” thick, and have swirling lights inside of them, which are thin and fanlike, with a star-like light in the center. The flowing lights react to sound and motion. They are also hard to damage, with an MDC equal to the mother's PE x5, and take half damage from all non-magical, non-psionic attacks. The color or the lights varies.

The Dragons of Mystinar, unlike the ones found throughout the Megaverse, are not necessarily savages. They aren't as solitary, but still don't like trespassers. How they react to trespassers will depend on the dragon's alignment, what the Dragon is like, as an individual, and the trespasser's alignment. In all cases, regardless of alignment, Dragons love intellectual chats, and talking for that matter.

Parents raise their offspring until they are around 30 years old, then their child goes off into the world. The child may or may not visit its parents. It depends on what their parents are like. Evil Dragons don't like visits from relatives. Visiting family could start a titanic battle. Selfish ones might tolerate, drive off, or welcome their relations. It depends on the Dragon. Good ones always welcome their family (usually).

Instead of having a limit to their life span, they are immortal. They just grow more powerful as the years go by. After reaching maturity (100 years old), the Dragon grows 1 foot (0.3 meters) longer each decade (2 feet or 0.61 meters for the Water Dragon). Also, every decade, each of the Dragon's attributes has a 20% chance of increasing by 1 point.

The Dragons on Mystinar are able to live off of magic, but to do so they must spend at least 1 day each week on a ley line. 1 day on a ley line nexus will allow them to live 1 week per ley line on the nexus. When they are not on a nexus point (the people of Mystinar refer to them as Geopathic Points), they can survive by eating. The food they eat is transformed into energy. 100 pounds of food will sustain them for 1 week. They rarely eat more than they need to. Each week without the nourishment that energy provides reduces available M.D.C. by 10% (can't be healed or regenerated). Once all MDC is gone, the Dragon dies. One could give the Dragon some P.P.E., and it would take 1000 P.P.E. to sustain them for 1 week.

One power common to all of the Dragons on Mystinar, is the ability to materialize treasure. Coins, jewelry, or gems may be created. The amount created is 1000 Credits worth of treasure per level. This power requires 1000 P.P.E. It can only be used once a week. This is how many Dragons amass wealth without robbing or demanding tribute (but some do anyways.) Hatchlings start off with 3d6x10,000 Credits worth of treasure (if you start off as a 30 year old just starting off in the world). Another power they have is that they can tell when someone has stolen from them, even 1 tiny gem, just by glancing at their hoard or being within 1 mile of it.

They are also able to cross-breed with other races, something not found in any other supernatural creature. How they do it is unknown, as it has never been seriously studied. Any Dragon asked about it will be highly offended, as they think sex is not something to be studied or talked about. The Evil or Selfish Dragons might even try to kill you if you ask. If pressed by a non-dragon mate, the Dragon will answer that his/her magic powers transform the sex cells so that they are compatible. The mate will also be sworn to secrecy. Half-Dragon features do not show up until puberty. Having a Dragon fall in love with one of the player characters could prove to be a VERY interesting plot twist. But, this is a rare occurrence, except in the Cloud Dragons.

The statistics shown in the crossbreeding entry of each dragon are for when the Dragon mates with a human. For other races, you may need to adjust them. Also, if you wish to create a new Dragon species, derived from the Astral Dragon, then you should look at the other Dragons, and see how the hatchling's attributes relate to the bonuses given to half-breeds.

The crossbreeding entry also mentions that the Dragon has two forms. What it doesn't mention is that in their alternate form (the form of the non-dragon race), 50% have short fangs, and 50% have claw-like fingernails. If the Dragon mates with a Dragon of another species, then you should mix the attributes and abilities (up to the GM). Attributes should be averaged together. Appearance will be a mixture of the two dragons. "Alignment remains unchanged" means that the offspring will develop its alignment based on the way it is raised.

Another feature is the eyes of the Dragon. They are quite fragile (500+100 S.D.C. per level, 1000+200 S.D.C. for adults), but have a transparent eyelid, which can protect them. The Eyelid has 25+5 M.D.C. per level (50+10 M.D.C. per level for adults), and regenerates twice as fast as the Dragon (minimum 1 round).

The Dragons detailed here are the Higher Dragons, the Gem Horn Dragons, and the Astral Dragons. The Higher Dragons are descended from the Astral Dragons, and the Gem Horn Dragons are descended from one of the Higher Dragon species. Astral Dragons are only encountered in the dimension that Mystinar resides in. However, some could escape onto the dimension of Rifts Earth or others.

Dragon Talents

Dragon Talents are similar to Nightbane Talents, only Dragons and Half-Dragons are able to learn them, not Nightbane. Each Dragon Talent is a unique ability, and some may be selected more than once! A Dragon starts off with one talent for free, but in the future must sacrifice P.P.E. or I.S.P. to learn a new talent. See Nightbane RPG for more information on Talents. If you wish to create your own Dragon Talents, then keep in mind, they are usually ability modification and enhancement.

Regular Talents:

Boost Regeneration: This Talent allows the Dragon to temporarily increase his or her regeneration rate by 50%. Multiple uses do not stack. Lasts 1 minute per level. Permanent P.P.E. / I.S.P.: 30, P.P.E. / I.S.P. to activate: 20

Energy Eater: This Talent allows the Dragon to drain P.P.E. or I.S.P. from an opponent by biting them. The Dragon has one point of P.P.E. or I.S.P. restored per point of damage dealt. Permanent P.P.E. / I.S.P.: 30, P.P.E. / I.S.P. to activate: 20

Immunity Booster: This Talent temporarily alters the Dragons natural damage immunities. It now is healed by the attacks it is immune to. For example, a Dragon immune to fire uses this talent. After using it, all fire-based attacks will heal him. A fire spell that deals 4 points of damage will heal the Dragon by 4 points. Permanent P.P.E. / I.S.P.: 24, P.P.E. / I.S.P. to activate: 16

Life Eater: This Talent allows the Dragon to drain M.D.C. from an opponent by biting them. The Dragon is healed by one point of M.D.C. per point of mega damage dealt. In S.D.C environments this becomes an H.P. / S.D.C. drain. Permanent P.P.E. / I.S.P.: 20, P.P.E. / I.S.P. to activate: 12

Sensory Booster: This Talent doubles the range of the Dragon's natural sensory abilities. Typically, this is only night vision, sensing magic , and detecting Dragons. Lasts one hour per level. Permanent P.P.E. / I.S.P.: 20, P.P.E. / I.S.P. to activate: 12

Resin Booster: This talent does one of two things. It can double the amount of resin you create per point of P.P.E. or I.S.P., or it can double its M.D.C. Permanent P.P.E. / I.S.P.: 20, P.P.E. / I.S.P. to activate: 12

Soul Eater: An ability that is automatically activated. Whenever the Dragon swallows an opponent, and the opponent dies from the attack, the Dragon permanently gains 1d6% of the target's P.P.E. or I.S.P. base (Dragon's choice, and round down). Unfortunately, each time this Talent is activated, there is a 10% chance that the Dragon will permanently lose 1 point of M.D.C for each point of P.P.E. or I.S.P. that is gained. Permanent P.P.E. / I.S.P.: 40, P.P.E. / I.S.P. to activate: 30

Breath Attack Talents:'

Breath Bomb: This Talent allows the Dragon to spit out his breath weapon as a concentrated blast, which deals its damage to a 10 foot radius, +5 feet per level. Permanent P.P.E. / I.S.P.: 7, P.P.E. / I.S.P. to activate: 5

Breath Booster: This Talent allows the Dragon to boost his or her breath weapon's damage or range. For each 10 P.P.E. or I.S.P. spent, the Dragon can increase the range of a breath weapon by 50%, or the damage of the Breath Weapon by 1 die of damage. Non-damaging breath weapons have their potency increased by 25% for every 10 P.P.E. or I.S.P.

Breath Weapon: This Talent allows the Dragon to take one of his or her breath attacks and use it as a melee weapon! The breath weapon deals half its normal damage, and lasts one melee per level. Permanent P.P.E. / I.S.P.: 20, P.P.E. / I.S.P. to activate: 12

Extra Breath Attack: This Talent allows the Dragon to use a new breath weapon. Damaging breath attacks cannot deal more damage than the Dragons own breath attacks. Non-damaging breath attacks can simulate spells and psionics. An example would be paralyzing gas. The Permanent and Activation P.P.E. / I.S.P. cost will vary from breath attack to breath attack. This talent may be selected multiple times. Each time, you select a different breath weapon.

Redirect Breath: This Talent allows the Dragon to expel his or her breath weapon from a part other than their mouth. For Example, the Dragon can redirect the attack to shoot out of his hands. Dragon hatchlings sometimes shoot their breath weapon out of their behind, making for the deadliest fart ever. This Talent is very popular. Permanent P.P.E. / I.S.P.: 8, P.P.E. / I.S.P. to activate: 5

Reverse Breath: This Talent allows the Dragon to reverse its breath weapon. Instead of going out, it goes in, down its throat, into the stomach. This is a useful tactic for fighting a swallowed opponent. In the case of a Cloud Dragon, their wind breath would allow them to inhale an opponent when reversed. Permanent P.P.E. / I.S.P.: 3, P.P.E. / I.S.P. to activate: 1

Spread Breath: This Talent allows the Dragon to spread out its breath weapon in a cone. For every ten feet the breath weapon travels, its width expands by 5 feet. The downside is that the breath attack will be at half power. Permanent P.P.E. / I.S.P.: 20, P.P.E. / I.S.P. to activate: 13

Shape-Shifting Talents:

Alter Weight: When used with shapeshifting, the Dragon's weight has no relation to its size. The Dragon could be full size and only weigh as much as a person, or it could weigh its full weight when the size of a bunny. Permanent P.P.E. / I.S.P.: 24, P.P.E. / I.S.P. to activate: 16

Bio-Booster: This Talent allows the Dragon to temporarily increase his or her P.S., P.P., P.E., or Spd. by 1 point. Multiple uses stack. Lasts 1 melee per level. Permanent P.P.E. / I.S.P.: 45, P.P.E. / I.S.P. to activate: 30

Boost Armor: This Talent allows the Dragon to temporarily increase his or her M.D.C. by 10%. Multiple uses do not stack, but will restore the extra M.D.C. The extra M.D.C. lasts until it is depleted or when 1 minute per level passes (whichever comes first). Permanent P.P.E. / I.S.P.: 60, P.P.E. / I.S.P. to activate: 40

Extended Metamorphosis: This Talent allows the Dragon to hold its shape for a longer period of time. Each time it is used, add one hour to the duration of the metamorphosis. Only works on the natural shape-shifting abilities of the Dragon. Permanent P.P.E. / I.S.P.: 30, P.P.E. / I.S.P. to activate: 20

Extra Alternate Form: This Talent gives the Dragon an extra Alternate Form. This form can be any shape, and can be held indefinitely. You may select this talent multiple times, each time selecting a different alternate form. Permanent P.P.E. / I.S.P.: 60, P.P.E. / I.S.P. to activate: 40

Remove Appendage: The Dragon can shape-shift an appendage and remove it (doing only 2D6 mega damage). The Object removed will have 1/4^th the Dragon's MDC, regardless of size. Creative Dragons will create things like Dragon-Bone swords and shields. The removed appendages last 1 hour per level (x2 adults) before crumbling into dust. Can be made permanent by permanently sacrificing 1D6 M.D.C. Permanent P.P.E. / I.S.P.: 30, P.P.E. / I.S.P. to activate: 20

Size Extension: The Dragon can shapeshift into a form up to 50% larger than itself. Permanent P.P.E. / I.S.P.: 30, P.P.E. / I.S.P. to activate: 20

Facts About Dragons

Applies to all Dragons, unless inappropriate for the dragon species.

First off, they are not mammals. They are warm blooded, but that does not make them mammals. They do take care of their young, a mammal trait, but they lack the one trait that separates mammals from other creatures, Mammary Glands.

This is an alternate rule on shapeshifting. A Dragon may select one alternate form to be designated as a secondary natural form. This form can be held indefinitely, and subtle variations on it may be made from time to time.

All Dragons love Candy! Sugar is something they can easily become addicted to. A Dragon who has had candy before is likely to choose candy over a maiden sacrifice, most of the time. Chocolate is especially addictive. Just one bite can put them into an addiction. While these addictions are harmless, it could cause problems if it goes into an obsession. However, the addiction can be easily negated with a glass of milk. Dragons who know of this will consume milkshakes or milk chocolate when they want sugar. There are some reports of a Dragon in Arkentia who has a sugar cane plantation. He sells half of what he grows, and consumes the rest.

Next, is the subject of treasure. All Dragons love wealth, and may go to extreme lengths to amass it. This is more than an obsession, for treasure (gems specifically) can empower them! There is a ritual that they all know and use when embedding gems in their hide. Every 10,000 credits worth of Gems embedded gives them a +1 bonus to M.D.C., P.P.E., and I.S.P. Removing the gems is next to impossible. You can only remove the Gems if the Dragon is dead, and even then, you need a combined supernatural P.S. of 50 to pry one gem loose. People generally wait until the hide decays (which can take decades). Also, being at he Dragon's hoard gives it the advantage. Every 1 million credits worth of treasure gives them a +1 bonus to all saves and combat bonuses, spell strength, and +1% to skills. Dragons are very good at appraising artwork, coins, gems, jewelry, precious metals and stones, and other treasures. Base percentage 60%, +2% per level (skill and I.Q. bonuses applicable).

All Dragons, whether they are the official ones, my own, or someone else’s creation, are able to produce a resin. This resin is a supers-strong, Mega Damage substance. Each cubic foot of resin has about 25 M.D.C. and a floor made of resin 3 inches thick can support 2,500 pounds. By paying 5 P.P.E. or I.S.P., the Dragon may produce 1 cubic foot per level (x2 for adults). The Resin takes 1/4^th damage from all physical cuts, slashes, and blows. Explosions, fire, electricity, lasers, magic, and psionics deal half damage. Energy attacks deal full damage, as well as the Dragon’s breath attack(s). The resin is a soft, sticky substance at first, but hardens after one hour, or if the Dragon pumps 10 P.P.E. into the soft resin. Typically, the resin is used as a building material for the Dragon’s lair, or to fortify an existing one. Some Dragons may make the resin into body armor, but generally they charge a lot of money (although, they may give it as a gift to a friend. A human sized breast-plate will have 50 M.D.C. and will be considered light armor (since the resin is light). Can be applied to existing body armor and vehicles that need M.D.C. protection.

Dragon Gods and Goddesses of Mystinar

Mystinar, the also known as the Planet of Archipelagos, has a rather small Pantheon of Dragons. Each variety of Higher Dragon has its own God or Goddess. I have converted this from my custom D&D pantheon. I am sure there is something missing, so I will have to say this article is incomplete.

-Cupric, the Jokester
-Variety: Storm Dragon
-Alignment: Anarchist / Hedonist

-Followers: Pranksters, jokers, comedians
-Data: Cupric is the greatest Storm Dragon. He delights in riddles, jokes, and pranks of all kinds, and often inspires his followers so that they can create their own. He doesn't do it for them, all he does is give them a little push. While Cupric dislikes pranks that could hurt somebody, he does enjoy so called “Crotch Shots” (where someone gets hit in the crotch).

Daturial the Savage
-Variety: Black Dragon
-Alignment: Diabolical / Sadistic Megalomaniac
-Followers: Sadists.
-Data: Daturial is the largest and most intelligent Black Dragon in existence. She demands that her followers take what they want and kill those who try and stop them, as well as torturing the survivors. Her greatest concern is enjoying torturing for the purpose of torturing.

-Glimia the Peaceful
-Variety: White Dragon
-Alignment: Scrupulous / Altruist
-Followers: Healers and other Benefactors
-Data: Glimia is a White Dragon of massive size, with an even bigger heart. She sees to it that her followers stop cruelty and slavery from spreading. However, she sees violence as too extreme, so she urges her followers to choose diplomacy and peaceful demonstrations, instead of fighting. However, she knows sometimes violence cannot be avoided. Often makes visits to the OUTCAST base to preach about diplomacy and non-violence to the peacekeeper members.

-Gorakorun, the Last Diamond Horn Dragon
-Variety: Diamond Horn Dragon
-Alignment: Principled / Hero
-Followers: Champions of light, and all Gem Horn Dragons.
-Data: Gorakorun was the last of his kind before he ascended to deityhood. Now, he waits for two Gold Horn Dragons worthy of becoming the new Diamond Horn Dragons. He waits for that day, so that all that is good may survive, and evil perish. He has no tolerance for evil, but urges his followers not to attack without provocation, for violence from that is just anger getting the best of you. He works with Luminar to find the right Dragon, one male and one female.

-Luminar the Queen of Hope
-Variety: Cloud Dragon
-Alignment: Scrupulous / Altruist
-Followers: Everybody that is good-aligned
-Data: Luminar, the Queen of Cloud Dragons, is one of the most loved of all of the deities in the Mystinar Dragon Pantheon. She wants peace and prosperity for her followers (and everyone else), and has a tendency to imbue individuals with great powers during times of darkness. She is the light in the darkness, the last hope. She makes sure that evil fails, and that good succeeds. She knows how to make Holy Weapons, and will give them to those who have served her well. Never gives one to anybody below level 10.

-Neptune the Secret-Keeper
-Variety: Sea Dragon
-Alignment: Nobody knows. He does not seem to have one.
-Followers: Scholars, Sailors, and aquatic peoples.
-Data: Neptune is a massive Bronze Dragon, who knows much more than anybody thinks. His followers commune with him for solutions to dilemmas, answers to cryptic riddles, and legends long forgotten. He knows everything, but may or may not give information to those who ask. Generous donations to his church might make him more easily convinced.

Nertan, King of the Black Snow
-Variety: Frost Dragon

-Alignment: Abberant / Honorable Greedmonger
-Followers: Evil creatures of cold lands
-Data: Nertan is a massive two-headed Blue Dragon. He likes to see betrayal, deception, and violence. He is also very greedy. He urges his followers that money is the most important thing, and that they do whatever is necessary to obtain it. He seems to favor Assassins.

-Praferric, Master of Creativity
-Variety: Cave Dragon
-Alignment: Nobody knows. She does not seem to have one.
-Followers: Artists, Craftsmen, and Dwarves

-Data: Praferric is one of the greatest artists in the world, and a grand mage. She provides her followers with inspiration for great works of art, and help's those with an artist's block. Sometimes she sends an avatar to art museums to see great works of art.

-Pyratimus, the Cruel Anarchist
-Variety: Flame Dragon
-Alignment: Miscreant / Dark Anarchist
-Followers: Mazir, anarchists, and terrorists.
-Data: Pyratimus is the mightiest Flame Dragon ever. He watches as governments are overthrown, then has his followers move in to make sure they stay that way. He knows how to corrupt a government till it falls apart, and his followers are given the secrets to doing that. He has taken a special shine to the Mazir, who are all devoted to the end of all governments, so that chaos reigns supreme. Over half of his followers are of the Mazir, and he gives them the darkest secrets of terrorism and chaos.

Bios: The Black Dragon is the dumbest of the Higher Dragons. Their intellect is comparable with that of a dwarf. They are also slightly stronger than their weak relative, the White Dragon. Legend has it that there once was a species of dragon, which was a combination of the two, the Gray Dragon. Then they started to give birth to two new species, the Black and White Dragons. The legend also says that Dragon Slayers hunted the Gray Dragons to extinction, which was easy for them, since they were no longer giving birth to their own kind. In any case, the Black Dragon is notorious for its sadistic tendencies, often capturing people or animals, and torturing them for days before swallowing them alive.

The Black Dragon is very slim, especially the snout. Their frail looking limbs easily conceal their supernatural strength. They have bat like wings, which are usually tattered around the edges (where they are much thinner), and they have a spear-like bony growth on their tail.

Crossbreeding:'

Black Dragons may mate with any other creature and produce a viable, fertile child. The child appears to be a humanoid Black Dragon (50% of them have no tail), but may metamorph to the appearance of the other parent's race (unlimited duration), although, something will be a little off (dark features). Note that in order to crossbreed, the Black Dragon must shape shift into a member of their mate's race. Also note that the resulting offspring registers as a normal dragon to the senses of any dragon below level 10.

Bios: The Cave Dragon is a large species of flightless Dragon that lives underground. Many Dragons have subterranean lairs, but the lairs of Cave Dragons are usually deep underground, and many never see the light of day (many think the over-world is just a myth). They use Geokinesis to mold their lair to their liking. Some are quite artistic.

Instead of scales, the Cave Dragon is covered in thick armored plates. They have a strong, muscular build underneath their armor, and on the end of their tail is a mace-like appendage, which is used frequently in combat.

Crossbreeding:'

Cave Dragons may mate with any other creature and produce a viable, fertile child.

Bios: The Cloud Dragon is well liked by the common people, since these gentle giants are prone to altruism. The sight of a Cloud Dragon is always comforting, unless you are the baron scheming for domination. The Cloud Dragon is peaceful and kind hearted, and seldom attacks out of anger. That said, they live in cloud-covered mountains, but they may be just as content to live in the city.

The Cloud Dragon appears to have a segmented underside, like most Dragons on Mystinar. Its jaws also appear to be segmented, but the "segments" are immobile. Along the back of the dragon are spines with webbing in between them. The scales are small, and silver in color, with some iridescent blue highlights. The leathery part of their wings is pale blue. At the tip of the tail is a scythe-like blade, with three spines sticking out on either side. On the back of each leg is a short blade, that has no function in combat. Their eyes are an insane blue color.

One thing that should be noted about Cloud Dragons is that they prefer the company of non-Dragons, to the company of Dragons. Because of this, there is a large amount of people who can trace their ancestry to a Cloud Dragon. Their preference to non-dragons may also be why they often live in cities, so that they can be closer to civilization.

Crossbreeding:'

Cloud Dragons may mate with any other creature and produce a viable, fertile child. The child appears to be a humanoid Cloud Dragon (50% of them have no tail), but may metamorph to the appearance of the other parent's race (unlimited duration), although, something will be a little off (Silver hair, sometimes with blue highlights, and vivid blue eyes). Note that in order to crossbreed, the Cloud Dragon must shape shift into a member of their mate's race. Also note that the resulting offspring registers as a normal dragon to the senses of any dragon below level 10. The resulting offspring has:

Bios: The Flame Dragon is the most feared of the Dragons on Mystinar. While the Black Dragon is sneaky, the Flame Dragon isn't. They are the ones who fly into to town and demand tribute. They are the ones who destroy towns whenever they are bored. They are the ones who demand maiden sacrifices. They are also the least common, next to the Gem Horn Dragon.

The Flame Dragon is very big, bright red with an orange underside, armor plates (not as thick as the ones on the Cave Dragon), lots of horns, webbed spikes behind the ears, and tons of white spikes protruding all over their body.

An interesting trick that many Flame Dragons have learned is using the Redirect Breath Talent to channel their fire breath through their hands. This allows them to fly at three times their normal flight speed. The Downside? Flying like this deals 2d6 S.D.C. damage (1d6 M.D.C. in M.D.C. environments) to their wings per melee. This persists until the wings are ripped off.

Crossbreeding:

Flame Dragons may mate with any other creature and produce a viable, fertile child. The child appears to be a humanoid Flame Dragon (50% of them have no tail), but may metamorph to the appearance of the other parent's race (unlimited duration). Note that in order to crossbreed, the Flame Dragon must shape shift into a member of their mate's race, although, something will be a little off (bright red hair, reddish tint to the skin, and yellow eyes). Also note that the resulting offspring registers as a normal dragon to the senses of any dragon below level 10.

Bios: The Frost Dragon is a species of Dragon found only in cold climates. Most of them have very few friends, since they always act indifferently to everyone around them. They don’t hate, love, or care for anyone. The only exception is those who cross them, or to whom they have mated with. Essentially, they have the personality of a Dead Fish.

Frost Dragons have a similar build to the White Dragon, but the main difference is that they are covered in a thick, shaggy coat of brown fur. They also lack the frontal horn.

Crossbreeding:

Frost Dragons may mate with any other creature and produce a viable, fertile child. The child appears to be a humanoid Frost Dragon (50% of them have no tail), but may metamorph to the appearance of the other parent's race (unlimited duration), but something will be a little off (lots of body hair). Note that in order to crossbreed, the Frost Dragon must shape shift into a member of their mate's race. Also note that the resulting offspring registers as a normal dragon to the senses of any dragon below level 10.

Gem Horn Dragon':

Gem Horn Dragons are a race of Dragons that tend to live in hidden tropical communities. They are against excessive or needless violence, and oppose evil in all its forms. They appear as a skin-colored dragon with no wings, black claws, which bend like fingers, a crystalline horn, several black horns extending back from their head, a segmented underside, and a mane on their head. On the back of the lower part of their legs are several blades, which have no use in combat. They have a long, sticky tongue, which has a length equal to twice the Dragon's own length. It has the same PS and PP as their body, and is used to grab things (typically prey). 50% of them have feathered wings. Their size and build belies the incredible dexterity and insane speed they possess. They are often called "The fastest Dragons in existence."

Gem Horn Dragon villages always use the terrain to some strategic advantage, and have barriers that can be easily mistaken for a natural one. Their villages usually are very large, covering a large number of acres, individual homes (including "front yards" and "backyards") covering 1-2 acres. The village walls are made of stone, dirt, and plants, specially designed to look natural. Their dwellings are designed in a similar manner on the outside. Sometimes the dwellings are in a cavern.

Those who stumble upon a village will be treated based on alignment or reputation (if known). Someone good aligned will be welcomed with open arms. A selfish aligned person will be viewed with suspicion, or asked to leave, should they be in their village. If the person is in apparent need, they may help him. An evil aligned person will usually be devoured on the spot (some can resist this instinct), unless defended by a good aligned person. Usually the case is the good aligned person needs him, or the evil person seeks to change his or her ways. An evil person who wants that will find help from the Gem Horn Dragons. An evil supernatural being will be killed, no questions asked.

Gem Horn Dragons are able to adapt quickly to their environment, depending on various factors. All are born as Quartz Horn Dragons, and, depending on the environment, 25% of the young will change form to suit that environment when they reach level two (mutation is not passed on to the Dragon's offspring. The mutation gene is recessive, as far as genetics and chromosomes are concerned). However, some will change to a different form that doesn’t depend on the environment. Gold Horn Dragon, one of the varieties, usually sticks to the outer areas of the village, and are always ready to respond to any threats. Amethyst Horn Dragon is sagacious and wise, always leading a Gem Horn Dragon Village. An unchanged Gem Horn Dragon is usually called a Quartz Horn Dragon or Crystal Horn Dragon.

In the middle of the village is usually a clearing near the Elder's house, and sometimes shops are set up on weekends. The young tend to frequent these clearings.

It is rumored that on Rifts Earth there is a Gem Horn Dragon Settlement in the "Land of a Thousand Islands." They have limited trade with a few of the other nations of South America, trading treasure for various technological items (which fascinate them), building supplies, and food. One time a (relatively) weak Splugorth rifted into the middle of a Lizard Man city. It began tearing things up. Several Gem Horn Dragons were in the area, disguised as Lizard Men and thinking on the possibility of trade. They brought their kin and destroyed the alien intelligence. The Lizard Men admired their bravery, and vowed to repay them. The Dragons simply wanted to open up trade, and that was what they got.

The leader of the Dragon village is incredibly ancient. He learned how to make rune weapons from the Dwarves of Palladium (they thought he was a fellow Dwarf). From this, he figured out how to make holy weapons. Now, he allows elderly Lizard Man heroes (the ones too old to fight) to be turned into a holy weapon, so that they can continue to protect their race. The Splugorth are not aware of this Dragon. If they found out, they would avoid a conflict because of how many Dragons there are that would come to protect him.

There have also been sightings in the NGR of Gem Horn Dragons. They live in a subterranean tribe that comes to the surface to face any supernatural threat. Usually, they come to the rescue of soldiers who are hopelessly outnumbered. Many in the NGR see these Dragons as a kind of guardian angel. Human supremacists are unsure about them, since they help Humans as often as they help D-Bees. The Coalition warns them that the Dragons are trying to earn their trust so that they can get them off guard. The common folk look upon the Dragons with great respect. There is one group of the Dragons in the NGR that delivers food and supplies to the less fortunate. Their was one report of a Dragon who came into a town and bought half of everything in a candy shop. Later that Dragon went throughout the region, handing the candy out to children. There are a few Gem Horn Dragons working to bring equal rights to all races. Two of them are card-carrying members of the government, and there is another with the rank of General. The three of them, and several other Gem Horns, are members of the Unmutuals for Free Thought. A few others help Victor Lazlo with his humanitarian efforts.

Lastly, there is a tribe of Gem Horn Dragons on Nightbane Earth, and they are all members of the Lightbringer Faction. The Guardians greatly respect them. One holds the secret to techno-wizardry, and has taught it to several members of the Lightbringer Faction. If he is about to be killed by the spook squad (not likely), he will make a deal: let him live and he will teach them how to combine magic with technology. That they will not refuse.

Creator's Note: A group of Quartz Dragons fled from a powerful fiend. They went from the moon Socrates to Mystinar. There they were taken in by a tribe of White Dragons (the only tribe). As centuries passed, they crossbred with the White Dragons, producing the predecessor of the Gem Horn Dragon. After millions of years, their offspring evolved into the Gem Horn Dragon of today. None of the original Dragons are alive, but their ancestors still exist.

I have been developing and re-developing this Dragon for years. In my mind, in my artwork, and in two RPG's (Dungeons and Dragons and Rifts). I can easily say it is my favorite Dragon. Unfortunately, I could not come up with a better naming convention for the different subspecies.

Bios: The Tricran Dragon is an interesting Dragon. Their name means “Three Heads”, which is what they have. Each head is a separate being (counts as three characters in one), each one has its own alignment, mental attributes, mystic knowledge, and I.S.P. pool. They also have their own ambitions and desires. This means they may argue from time to time, but they argue, but this can give them an advantage. They are able to execute extremely complex and coordinated plans, making them excellent tacticians. They appear to be a combination of several dragons, the body of a Great Horned Dragon, and the heads and necks of Flame Dragon, Frost Dragon, and Storm Dragon. Genetic testing reveals they have the DNA of the three latter Dragons and a hydra.

Note to GM’s: It would be very interesting for three player characters to represent a Tricran Dragon’s three heads. Just make sure the three of them get along real well.

Crossbreeding:

Tricran Dragons may mate with any other creature and produce a viable, fertile child. The child appears to be a humanoid Tricran Dragon (50% of them have no tail), but may metamorph to the appearance of the other parent's race (unlimited duration), but something will be a little off (three heads, and that is NOT a little off).

Bios: The Water Dragon refers to a wide range of different species of Dragons. The Lake Dragon, the River Dragon, and the Sea Dragon.

The Lake Dragon is the Dragon that is reflected in the statistics above. They live in lakes and reservoirs, often with little activity in their lives. Often they protect the lake they live in, quite fiercely. Woe be to those who dump industrial chemicals within the Dragon's lake!

The River Dragon is 50% smaller than the Lake Dragon, and is three times faster when underwater, instead of two times. Like the Lake Dragon, they will fiercely defend their chosen body of water. Unlike the Lake Dragon, they are quite active, either fighting the river's current or flowing with it. When they need to rest, they sleep in the calmer, shallower parts of the lake, but instantly wake if they hear anyone coming.

The Sea Dragon is twice as large as the Lake Dragon, with a 10% increase to PS and PE. They have huge territories, covering wide areas of ocean. Mariners usually avoid the domains of evil or (sometimes) selfish Sea Dragons, for they will sink their ships and take any valuables they find. Selfish or Good Dragons will usually ignore passing ships, but if a ship is in trouble, then the good Sea Dragon will help. Selfish Dragons might help, but might also ask for a reward.

The Water Dragon is long and serpentine, with spikes going along the top and bottom of its body, with webbing in between them. Near their front they have four thin and short "wings" which function as fins. They also have two short arms coming out of their sides. The Water Dragon is the most colorful of the Dragons, coming in various shades of blue, green, and purple. The exception, of course, is the River Dragon, which is muddy brown, black, and sand-colored.

Crossbreeding':'

Water Dragons may mate with any other creature and produce a viable, fertile child. The child appears to be a humanoid Water Dragon (50% of them have no tail), but may metamorph to the appearance of the other parent's race (unlimited duration), although, something will be a little off (blue-green eyes). Note that in order to crossbreed, the Water Dragon must shape shift into a member of their mate's race. Also note that the resulting offspring registers as a normal dragon to the senses of any dragon below level 10.

Bios: The White Dragon is a species of Dragon that is much weaker than most of the others. They are kind hearted and altruistic, but tend to hide from society because their weakness makes them easy prey for Dragon Slayers, who would hunt them down and sell their valuable body parts. There are still some who live amongst civilization, although they are shapeshifted, so that they are harder for Dragon Slayers to find. Some wilderness people hold the Dragon as sacred, since their breath attack is so effective against evil.

The White Dragon looks much like the Gem Horn Dragons, although their claws are white, and their frontal horn is opaque white. There are only two horns going back from their head, although they are quite large. They also have angelic wings. Because of their similarities to the Gem Horn Dragon, they are believed to be closely related (which they are).

Bios: The Astral Dragon (not to be confused with the Zaayr Crystal Dragon), also known as the Ether Dragon, is a group of Dragons composed of astral energy, and they appear in a variety of forms, as they have many different species. They spend most of their time on their domain, occasionally expanding it. Some form communities within their domain, and the people there often regard the dragon as a god or goddess. Those dragons might never leave their domain. All the higher Dragons on Mystinar are each evolved from a species of Astral Dragon that became denizens of the physical plane.

An Astral Dragon can become a denizen of the physical plane by spending 2d6 months on it. After that, it must consume food in order to survive, and can crossbreed with other creatures. They also age in the same way as the higher Dragons on Mystinar.

To wrap things up, I must comment that Astral Dragons love guard duty. Pay is usually open for negotiation. Good Astral Dragons may do it for free, if it is for the greater good.

Bios: The Armadillo Dragon is a heavily armored Dragon that looks like a cross between an armadillo and a Dragon. They area species that enjoy dry, hot climates, so their astral domains are often like that. Most get around by rolling up into a ball, which makes for a very good attack (counts as power punch). Most are self-serving snobs without a care for others.

Bios: The Jumper is a master of jumping, as its name would suggest, and is nearly impossible to catch. They use their claws and horn to execute devastating leap attacks. All of them jump to get around, as running is too slow. Jumpers hunt in packs, using their rapid successions of jumps to confuse their opponent(s), and then they move in for the kill, using leap attacks. They use either their huge claws to gut a foe, or a large frontal horn to impale them. Jumpers are also not very bright, often taking on larger opponents. They are also very stubborn.

An adult Dragon once had an encounter with a lone Jumper. He could not catch it. Finally, he (easily) outsmarted it by tricking the creature into jumping into a lake, and jumpers can’t swim. It managed to scramble to shore, and left the Dragon alone.

As for appearance, the Jumper is like a long, thin, bipedal lizard, with an oversized horn, legs, and claws. (I will provide a picture later on)
