Ailuros

The rarest variant of all, Sekhmet’s Pride tend to live their lives seeking vengeance on those who upset them. Very rarely do they possess the power to overcome these grudges, which leads them to be very destructive. They are never seen without a weapon or a deadly animal of sorts, so make way if you see them walking down the street. Of all the variants, these tend to be the most savage, creating and using their own personalized swords for war or assassination. They make great hitmen, warriors, or blacksmiths.

Arcane- Those whose eyes are as fuchsia as the twilight sky worship Nut, goddess of the sky. They make their home in the north, closest to the Seba mountain range to look at the stars.

The Arcane dragons of Starfall Isles are dreamers. They prefer the allure of the unknown and mysterious nature of the magical energies that bind the universe together. Of all dragons, Arcane dragons are the most curious, pursuing their theories and their dreams, often oblivious to the effects that their dogged pursuits may have on the world around them. Meteors and runestones are their favored treasures.

These dragons are an agreeable lot, and attempt to placate enemies and competitors with small gifts of metal. This behavior has served them well, as cross-species communication suffers from much that is lost in translation. These communication problems stem from the unique way in which Coatl perceive sound. They do not have a traditional ear structure, but are still able to discern and interpret vibrations in the air. Their hearing is not as keen as dragons with eardrums.

Coatl are one of the few species to have a native tongue. They hum a series of different pitches at varying intervals to communicate. The result is far from lovely to other dragon species, as sour notes and incomprehensible melody grates on their senses. Coatl can speak and interpret traditional draconic with difficulty, but have no capacity to understand the monotone fae species.

Natural Coatl lairs exist exclusively in the Ashfall waste. They are open-air affairs, with many sloping shelves carved close to the furnace-like heat of molten pools. Coatl dragons that migrate away from their homeland prefer to allow other dragon species to choose the shape and function of lairs, as they have very little knowledge of lair construction and maintenance. They make for polite, if oddly murmuring denmates.

Dragon species gain their elemental magic within the egg, imbued by the aura of the nearest deity. Coatl dragons are no exception to this, and one would think that as a result there would be a great variety in Coatl elemental subtypes; however, this is not the case. Most Coatl are tightly bound to the Flamecaller's forge, as Coatl feel an instinctive drive to return to Emberglow hearth to raise their nests. This desire to brood in sweltering temperatures sees most Coatl growing up with fire as the calling of the hatchling's magic. It takes a strong will for adult dragons to resist the urge to return "home" during mating season.

When a gift will not settle a disagreement, a Coatl is not shy about protecting itself or its clan. When a dispute cannot be settled peacefully, a Coatl will transition from appeasement to combat in a split second, awarding them the first strike nine times out of ten. While other species generally regard Coatl as a friendly species, they all agree that these dragons have a temper.
