Others believe them to be nothing but legends, after all moving statues sound impossible to them. It is considered just a story to tell hatchlings. These dragons are anything but legend. Once they were the guardians of ancient cities that have long since been lost in Dragonhome. The dragons had the unique ability to turn their bodies to stone after sitting still for a long period of time. They could remain aware of their surroundings while being a statue, the effects replacing sleep. When turned to stone, the dragons would become rooted in place, making them harder to push over though not impossible, it was like trying to move any other stone statue. The statue process also allowed the dragons to heal quickly, often starting to turn to stone after being injured or poisoned so that their body could heal. These abilities made them excellent at guarding various city entrances and buildings. These dragons cannot swim, at all. Their bodies naturally sink in water and sinking causes them to panic. When they begin to panic their body will respond to the threat by turning them to stone and causing them to become dormant. While dormant they may not be fully aware of what’s around them over time, this is a defense mechanism to stop them from losing their mind in solitude when there is nothing they can do about it, it is the closest they get to what others would call fully being asleep. This effect will continue until they are brought back to solid ground and a day has passed. If stuck in water, they will sit at the bottom and wait for someone to drag them back out to land. When in a panicked state for a long period of time their body can be shattered like a normal statue. The dragons have slowly begun to resurface and make new homes above ground. These dragons do not find their way to the surface on their own, rather their statue forms are dug up by other dragons and brought up as part of an archeological find only to find the statue come to life.

Most commonly these dragons tend to be Guardians, Snappers and Imperials. That being said they can look like nearly any dragon breed including bogsneaks, though it seems that Fae, Pearlcatchers, Skydancers, Coatls and Spirals are extremely rare compared to all other breeds. It is not unusual to see a Ruins Keeper with a broken horn or a shortened tail. The damage of those that have survived may explain why many breeds are not normally seen, it is likely they simply did not survive.

Saddened by this fact they have started to paint themselves as what they once looked like, creating patterns and adding colours to themselves in an imitation of what they once looked like so that they can show their colours proudly to everyone. Very rarely they will not use colours and instead create textures on themselves. The tertiary gene is their body trying to restore themselves, often starting as writing but very few have moved onto having cracks on their body as the stone falls away.

The only ones not, typically are from lost eggs that were found on an excavation in Dragonhome, that have been impacted by where they hatched after spending a full day above ground. (First Gens only)

The Ruins Keepers once lived in a massive city ages ago. The guards were posted throughout the city, maintaining peace, often taking their stone forms. When not in their stone form they had colourful markings that they were very proud of. The city was a Utopia to these dragon.

A massive earthquake caused the city to split and sink. During the panic of their sinking city many guards lost control and turned to stone, a defense mechanism against the panic much like what happens if they are underwater.

When the dust settled the city was gone and the guards remained dormant. This was the case until a team of archeologists stumbled upon one still intact. They carefully brought what they thought was a magnificent statue to the surface and a day later it started to move. It spoke in an ancient tongue but quickly started to adapt to simple common tongue.

The archeologists thought they had a living record but as they questioned the guard the more the guard realized what happened. The memories became too painful and they swore to no longer live in the past. They only told the archeologists that there were more. Ever since more of the statues have been brought to the surface, each avoided talking about their past but always thanked those who brought them up.

It was during this time that the Ruins Keepers, as they were dubbed, soon realized that the stone that looked to be their skin wasn't falling away. They were distressed by the fact they could not show their colours anymore, trapped in their greys and browns. They soon took to painting themselves, mimicking the patterns they once had.

Most Ruins Keepers are found to have writing on their body that glows, they claim it is their body trying to restore them, though it seems like it hasn’t happened for the vast majority. A select few have started to show cracks in the stone, as their body continues to work to restore them.

This post will contain any pinglist requirements and also anything currently needed to help the subspecies out.

Currently graphics are needed.
