Energis

Energis, the Tyrant of the Skies, the Eyes in the Storm, the Hunger That Rules the Skies. A number of magical scholars have noted this creature, and collected the rumors and stories of it. A serpentine dragon who flies through the storms and never bothers to land upon the ground beneath it. Everywhere this dragon goes, it is followed by storms, crackling lightning, swirling winds, and pounding rain. It seems to live within these storms, though some believe the storms follow Energis like worshippers and hangers-on.

When Energis does interact with human civilization, it usually will swoop down on a remote farm or ranch, swoop off with a livestock or two, and then continue on its way. A few people have claim to have heard it speak, and always report that it told them to go away. Energis doesn't seem aggressive to humans, for the most part, but when challenged, it responds with lightning and winds and destruction.

Energis, it turns out, doesn't care about humans. It doesn't like fighting, in fact. It rules the storms, and dislikes anything challenging that rule, but it actually doesn't care about establishing its dominance - just its own safety. It needs to eat, so it devours cows and sheep when hungry, but doesn't actually eat ravenously - it knows that humans tend and produce its food, so won't kill them needlessly.

Energis is a large, sleek drake with four massive wings that crackle with lightning. Energis is not a creature of the land, and thus has no legs. Two sets of eyes adorn it's arrowhead-shaped skull, protected by protruding ridges, one set of blue eyes and one set of yellow. Energis has two long, lashing tails - the few scholars who have studied Energis debate if it has a forked tongue, or two tongues. Energis has been known to speak, but only a few short words or phrases, usually telling people to dismissively depart.

Other dragons that meet Energis are usually confused as to whether it is a potential mate or a potential rival, and will usually assume whichever is more inconvenient, symbolized by the Transvestite flaw. Energis itself doesn't care for this problem, since it doesn't have the appropriate equipment for that.

Getting Energis as a familiar will require a mastery of Auram. Protection from winds, lightning, thunder, and the ability to fly. Also, you need to respect the autonomy of Energis, as it will not serve you. The surest way to befriend Energis is to give it the respect it deserves, and have a home where the storms will be able to thunder on without Energis constantly being attacked or harassed by knights, soldiers, and monster hunters, while still being able to regularly feed. Oh, and you'll need a Creo Auram lab total of 70.

I decided I wanted a dragon.
