Dragons (not to be confused with Pure Dragons) are a group of very diverse monstrous creatures. They were created during the Second Demonic Invasion by the Archdaemon of Corruption Caedus. During the war, Caedus disguised himself as an angel by the name of Caemon. He approached the Dragons of Astriel and allied with the great general Gharial. Together, they convinced thousands of dragons to [DO SOMETHING SUPER MAGICAL THAT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME]. However, Caedus had lied and manipulated them into helping the demons. The Pure Dragons were bound by magical means to the elements of Aboden and were pulled down from Astriel. Their magical essence was bestowed into the Croc-kin creating the Savrak. Those bound to Aboden were mutated by the magics and many became unintelligent beasts. Millennia of inter-breeding has lead to the creation of many different breeds of dragon.

*Special Dragon Variations
There are three special variations of dragons that should be noted.
Undead Dragons = Dragons raised through necromancy, for unknown reasons, are capable of using Nihilite magics
Scaleless = Dragons born without scales have incredible psychic power. it is unknown why or how these abominations were created.
Crimson = Dragons with a red and white (similar to musculature) color scheme are known as Blood dragons. While Dragons are naturally immune to Vampirism, Dark Lord Ranvash Vantu (A Vampire lord who ruled a kingdom in "Eastern Continent") conducted experiments on a Pure Dragon he had captured. She was subjected to sorcery and vampiric blood and stuff til all her scales fell off and she almost died. She was kept alive and produced many eggs. These were the Blood dragons. They were mentally bound to the rulers of the Vantu clan, but when most of the bloodline was exterminated, the dragons were freed but were crazy.
