Folklore or the mythology is very common within Asralons and The Forgotten World, some of it being fun, while others being dark and horrifying to the dragon's eyes.
The dragons within the universe have created plenty of these various tales to either strike terror into others hearts or warm the souls of those around them...
SEASONVITAS: STILL ALIVE?
TRIBAL FOLKLORE - UNKNOWN ERA
For centuries, dragons of Asralons have questioned and even stated seeing true Seasonvitas roaming among us. Although unlikely, according to scientists, Seasonvitas have been thought to not have been wiped out after forming the tribes. Some believe that Seasonvitas are still with us in the present world, but where would they be hiding? Dragons have stated that they might be in the cave systems within Season Mountain, or even beneath our very talons. Scientists have proof of this being false, as no Seasonvita would have been able to escape evolving into a Bloomspiritus or some other dragon, as well as there being no where (or no reason) for them to hide.
Still, some dragons claim to have seen dragons who look nothing like a Bloomspiritus, Wintervellus, Summercimex, nor an Autumnaura. With that aside, the likely-hood of those mysterious, unidentifiable dragons could have been hybrids or even the recently discovered Eclipseviators.

IMBER
TRIBAL MYTHOLOGY - UNKNOWN ERA
Imber is a dragonoid figure that seems to be made of clouds. It doesn't fall under any tribe, but this figure is seen as immortal. Imber is the goddess of the ocean, clouds, and weather, and is occasionally praised for creating the afterlife. Often, she is used in artworks and storybooks and seen as a cheery, but easily angered dragon.
In mythology, Imber had mothered Hiemo, the god of the cold. Imber had also had her grudges against Aduro, the god of fire, before the land of Asralons was created. Mythology explains that Imber and Aduro had gotten into a battle, causing Imber's clouded wings to separate or have holes within them. The battle is said to have been about Aduro creating land, and Imber's old selfishness had been enraged that he was covering the oceans. In mythology, Imber does forgive Aduro, especially after the Bloomspiritus came to Asralons as there was now life enjoying and benefiting from what Imber created.
Imber is praised in Bloomspiritus culture, and depicted in various ways, such as a dragonoid made of clouds or water, or an electric blue ram cichlid sitting on a cloud.
Gods are not praised as highly the Seasonvitas, but they are treated like greater than the average dragon. The gods, in mythology, respect not being treated like the highest beings in Asralons.

HIEMO
TRIBAL MYTHOLOGY - UNKNOWN ERA
Hiemo is a dragonoid figure that seems to be made of ice and snow, with evergreen trees sprouting from their back. They do not fall under any tribe, and are seen as an immortal figure. Hiemo is the god of snow, ice, and the breeze. They are a nonbinary figure in mythology, and are praised for giving the dragons cool air to fend off the heat, especially in Warmbreeze. Hiemo is used in storybooks, but rarely. They are an underrated god, unfortunately, but there is a Wintervellus festival praising him for their snow-covered lands.
In mythology, Hiemo was found and raised by Imber, the goddess of the ocean. They had participated in the fight against Aduro, by using their cool breeze to scare him off. Hiemo is depicted as the youngest god and they are seen as an innocent, but a dragon who obeys commands well.
Hiemo is praised in Wintervellus culture, and depicted as a snow covered evergreen tree, or a snow-dragon with glowing eyes.
Gods are not praised as highly the Seasonvitas, but they are treated like greater than the average dragon. The gods, in mythology, respect not being treated like the highest beings in Asralons.

ADURO
TRIBAL MYTHOLOGY - UNKNOWN ERA
Aduro is a dragonoid figure that seems to be made of rock that's filled with lava inside. He does not fall under any tribe, and is seen as an immortal being. Aduro is the god of fire, volcanoes, and land. Aduro is depicted as aggressive, hot headed, and strong. Oftenly, Aduro is used within storybooks as he is the figure that created the very land the Seasonvita dragons walk on.
In mythology, Aduro had begun to create the lands we know today, being Sparklingdew, Warmbreeze, Longwinter, Wiltedleaf, Season Mountain, and the Rogue Island. As the islands formed, Imber, the goddess of the ocean/sky, was not pleased as it covered parts of her beautiful ocean. Aduro insisted that good things would come with the islands, alongside Ferox. Imber and Hiemo were not happy with their reasons, and so they all fought until the first Bloomspiritus came. When the dragons explored Asralons and swam in the ocean Imber had created, she calmed and forgave Aduro.
Aduro is praised in all cultures, but he is a great figure in Summercimex culture, due to providing their land with warmth. He is oftenly depicted as a firefly made of fire, or a dragonoid shape with volcanoes on his back.
Gods are not praised as highly the Seasonvitas, but they are treated like greater than the average dragon. The gods, in mythology, respect not being treated like the highest beings in Asralons.

RUINA
TRIBAL MYTHOLOGY - UNKNOWN ERA
Ruina is a dragoniod figure that seems to be the embodiment of darkness itself. She doesn't fall under any tribe, and is seen as an immortal being. Ruina is the goddess of death, destruction, and despair. She is depicted as mysterious, reserved, and gentle. Ruina is an underrated goddess as she is seen as Death within Asralons, only having appearances in a few novels or stories.
Ruina had one appearance within mythology, which was when she gave Hiemo to Imber. It is inferred that she is underused due to death being such a sensitive subject.
Ruina is not praised in any culture and is usually neglected and ignored. If she is used in a cultural pratice, it is seen as misfortune and unlimate death - but Ruina is represented by a cracked dragon skull or a dragonoid shape completely made of a dark smoke.
Gods are not praised as highly the Seasonvitas, but they are treated like greater than the average dragon. The gods, in mythology, respect not being treated like the highest beings in Asralons. Ruina, despite not being praised at all, actually accepts the fact that her being is too horrific to be loved.

FEROX
TRIBAL MYTHOLOGY - UNKNOWN ERA
Ferox is a dragonoid figure that seems to be made of pure plant-matter, as well as large horns that appear to look like a moose's. They do not fall under any tribe, and is seen as an immoral being. Ferox is the god of nature, life, and peace. They are one of the oldest being to roam Asralons, alongside Ruina. They do not have many appearances within mythology, but it can be inferred that Ruina and Ferox are siblings. A highly praised immortal, Ferox is usually depicted in some way in every culture.
Ferox is praised in all cultures, but they are a great figure for the Autumnaura, due to providing their land with wildlife despite its conditions. They are depicted as an aster, or an Autumnaura made of plants - the only figure to take the form of a specific species within Asralons. Other cultures depict Ferox as a dragonoid figure made of plants and large moose-like antlers.

LISTENER OF THE STARS
BLOOMSPIRITUS MYTHOLOGY - BUBBLE'S ERA
The Listener of The Stars has no nickname, so I'll make one up. Listener is what we'll call them. Listener is depicted as a Bloomspiritus whose horns are extremely long, wrapping over the eye. They have star-shaped ears, as well as the night sky seemingly in their eyes and mouth.
Within mythology, Listener is seen as a powerful, almighty Bloomspiritus who could predict the future based off of what the stars showed. Constellations were seen as signs from the Seasonvita spirits during this time period, so Listener was a depicter of those starred figures. Within the novel, Where The Night Turned Red, written by a Bloomspiritus called Silver, Listener tells the main character about the tragic events leading up to Seagrass's crowning.

EYELESS
BLOOMSPIRITUS MYTHOLOGY - TRIDENT'S ERA
Within Bloomspiritus mythology, EYELESS is a cursed Bloomspiritus who lurks at the deepest parts of the ocean and feeds on any dragon who swims too deep alone...
EYELESS is depicted as a Bloomspiritus with sharp, needle-like teeth (similar to an anglerfish), a long lure on their head, broken horns, a skinny body where the rib bones show, no eyes, and no hind legs. Commonly, this mythological creature is also pictured with fins similar to a lionfish. It is long, like an eel, and used to keep dragonets close to their parents when swimming through the ocean. Although it is clearly a myth, some Bloomspiritus locals of Talon's Trench have spoken about seeing a strange, legless Bloomspiritus lurking within the depths of the trench.

SWEETTOOTH
WINTERVELLUS MYTHOLGY - ICEBERG'S ERA
Sweettooth, although a strange addition to the Wintervellus mythology, is a Wintervellus who plays tag or hide and seek with dragonets if found. If the dragonet wins the game, Sweettooth rewards them with candies such as chocolate or honeybites.
Within mythology, Sweettooth is depicted as an extremely fluffy Wintervellus with hooves instead of talons. This dragon also has ruined wings and no eyes, which are hidden underneath his fur as to not scare dragonets. However, in mythology, Sweettooth has been known to frighten dragonets who have been known to misbehave with their lack of eyes. Overall, Sweettooth is a myth to convince dragonets to be adventurous, active, brave, and not to misbehave.

LOCKET
WINTERVELLUS FOLKLORE - FROSTHORN'S ERA
Locket, a Wintervellus with a robotic arm and robotic plating on his back, is a mythological figure created to support new ideas being a good thing.
Within folklore, Locket is depicted as a light grey Wintervellus with a robotic arm prosthetic, and a metal plated back. He wears a tophat with a feather, and has gears placed around his body, and he has a missing wing. By many dragonets, Locket seems to be threatening with all the machinery attached to him, as well as ambitious ideas to further technology. The part that makes Locket terrifying to some dragons is the fact that he has robotic parts within his mouth, such as gears and saws. Despite this, Locket is a great inspiration for dragons who don't fear him to confess and bring their ideas into reality.
During Frosthorn's era, he was used for advertisements in weaponry smithing, so that the Wintervellus could mass produce weapons such as firearms and explosives.

OWL THAT SCREAMS DRAGON
WINTERVELLUS MYTHOLOGY - UNKNOWN ERA
Owl That Screams Dragon or for short, The Owl, is a mythological owl whose head is distorted. On the right side of its face, there is a dragon head fused with the owl's, creating a terrifying combination.
According to mythology, The Owl is a spirit who only visits those who are moments away from a miserable death. The spirit hoots like a regular owl, but the roars of agony from the dragon head creates a traumatizing sound that is to be feared. The Owl can also speak dragon, but it doesn't use it for good. Normally, The Owl will cry out, "Death to (insert dragon name)" or a terrifying poem that relates to how a specific dragon will die. The worst part? Only the dragon whose close to death can hear the Owl That Screams Dragon, no one else.

ROOM OF DARKNESS
SUMMERCIMEX FOLKLORE - FIRESWORD'S ERA.
Legends have it that the old Summercimex royal bedroom was corrupted, turned into a monster of destruction... but its only limited to that room. During King Firesword's ruling period, this room was normal and unchanged... it looked like every other room in the palace- beautiful, candle-lit, peaceful... Despite their being a murderer who sleeps within it. One night, during a blood moon, Firesword had gotten 14 dragons slaughtered within his arena for his entertainment. However, when the king went to sleep that night, he never returned.
The day after his disappearance, the Queen, Lamb, had searched all over the palace for him, but he was no where to be found... until she opened his bedroom door. Inside, it was pitch black, like a void... but the room was gone. There was no longer furniture, nor gems lining the walls. In the center of the room, Firesword's corpse sat with black staining his red scales. "The room was alive, and it taken Firesword's life, freed us from the agony and suffering he caused among us SummerWings," Lamb would write during her ruling. Although not much is known about the room, theorists have suggested that Lamb had murdered Firesword herself and halicanated the whole thing... yet, the room has been blocked off and boarded up since.
Others believe that it's real and that the 14 spirits killed that morning had transformed that room, or even combined themselves into the walls, to slaughter Firesword.

BUTTERFLY WITH DRAGON'S WINGS
SUMMERCIMEX MYTHOLOGY - HAZEL'S ERA
The Butterfly with Dragon's Wings, or the DragonWing Butterfly, was a mythological butterfly with... well, dragon wings.
In Summercimex mythology, this butterfly represented bad luck or omen. It was invented during Hazel's era, due to many Summercimexes believing she did NOT belong on the throne as she was a hybrid. Many believed that it was a bad omen, and that horrible things were to come, such as the Seasonvitas wrath of them not obeying the laws. The DragonWing Butterfly has a black torso and vibrant red wings, and will only come to the Summercimexes if something bad is to happen. The butterfly is deeply associated and connected to the Seasonvitas, as they believe that only they will send the DragonWing Butterfly to them.

GOOD WITCH
AUTUMNAURA FOLKLORE - GRANDIOSE'S ERA
The Good Witch is depicted as a sweet, pale pinkish-purple Autumnaura who has a melanistic lion cub for a companion.
In folklore, the Autumnaura witch lives in the woods nearby Dryfeather, and grants the dragons who find her or her cub great health or cures them of all diseases. She is seen as a figure with grand power. If a dragon cured of all illnesses comes to where they found her last, she would have moved elsewhere. The Good Witch has been found commonly within caves and in the middle of the woods, and has never been found intentionally.
After Queen Grandiose became ill, King Fallow had created posters of the witch which was meant to convince more Autumnauras to become doctors, nurses, and scientists.

IMPIUS
AUTUMNAURA FOLKLORE - HAWK'S ERA & CHIPMUNK'S ERA
Impius, meaning "wicked," is depicted as a deep red, disorted Autumnaura with red eyes and a crooked, malicious smile.
In folklore, Impius is seen as a monsterous creature that emerges from the ocean every blood moon to curse any who dare look upon him. One of the most unique mythological figures from the rest of the tribes, Impius is said to have cursed Hawk's wife, Dahilia, into having cursed dragonets. Much of the public believed in this tale, as they couldn't deal with the idea of their tribe's heir being a three headed dragon.
After the acceptance of the three-headed king, Impius's tale was slowly converted into a story spread to terrorize those from going to the Rogue Island. What used to be seen as a sinister beast is now used to represent the outcasts and rogues on Rogue Island, which casts them in a very negative light. Impius's convertion began at Ex. Queen Chipmunk's era.
