Insulator

This subspecies was originally used to categorize the Guards and Maintenance Workers of the Lightning Farm and Tempest Spire. The great Stromcatcher himself chose Fae and Skydancer breeds because they were both careful and agile creatures. This meant they could swiftly fly around the wires and check that every component was in it’s rightful place and every sprocket worked correctly. Also, since Faes are the smallest out of all the breeds, they could fit themselves into the tiniest places with ease and thoroughly check everything inside.

As time passed, this little network of dragons evolved. They were no longer just Conductor dragons because they more or less became the very insulation to the electricity that they had been working alongside. Their looks also changed. They took on a glassy or porcelain like appearance which served as protection, with a Circuit/Crackle pattern due to long exposure to the high-voltage electricity. Circuits also began to appear early on the young dragons and individuals who had not yet served as 'Insulators’. When it came time for retirement a Crackle like effect would develop, deeming the worthy dragons their new titles and thus, completing their evolution.

Most individuals of this subspecies still live near the Tempest Spire or the Lightning Farm due to the history of their nature. This applies to the Insulators as well because even after evolution, their basic instinct and the electric current that forever runs through their veins draws them in to such places. The higher the voltage is, the more Insulator dragons it might attract, and they will continue to guard the chosen places for their entire life time.

Apart from their appearance, Conductors and Insulators characteristically have a gentle and friendly disposition about them. Most are considered to be extremely punctual, careful and accurate, and they always make excellent friends or companions. It is however, quite hard to start a conversation since most of them tend to be introverts and seldom talk. Instead of speaking, they express themselves by a certain system of body language which is developed during the long transformation of evolution.

How this kind of personality was developed is still relatively unknown, however, the most widely accepted explanation is largely related to the eternal, almost deafening thunderstorm and electric crackles near the wires and cables of the Lightning Farm and Tempest Spire. It is said that any attempts to transfer verbal messages to one another in that kind of noise would have been useless.
