[indent][indent][i]“If you have never spent whole afternoons with burning ears and rumpled hair, forgetting the world around you over a book, forgetting cold and hunger--
If you have never read secretly under the bedclothes with a flashlight, because your father or mother or some other well-meaning person has switched off the lamp on the plausible ground that it was time to sleep because you had to get up so early--
If you have never wept bitter tears because a wonderful story has come to an end and you must take your leave of the characters with whom you have shared so many adventures, whom you have loved and admired, for whom you have hoped and feared, and without whose company life seems empty and meaningless--
If such things have not been part of your own experience, you probably won't understand what Bastian did next.”[/i]

Nothing has touched my heart and imagination more than The Neverending Story. One of my first memories is watching the movie, I have seen the film so many times I even wore out my VHS copy. When I discovered the book, I read it cover to cover; over and over. I have always felt a connection to Falkor, and wanted to create a subspecies in his name. This is my offering.
Luck dragons are full of whimsy and have a jovial nature. It takes a great disturbance to upset them. They are passionate and live life to the fullest. They love strongly, and hoard without apology. They are regal in appearance, commanding authority due to their size and stature, but have no doubt: Luck dragons are always optimistic.
Honour and loyalty are two important traits all luck dragons share. Their loyalty is neverending, their honour without boundaries. They will carry their friends when those friends have given up on hope, when they have lost their sense of self and feel without purpose. Luck dragons are there with words of encouragement and a gentle nod of the head to go on.
They seem light as the air, and are able to swim through the sky. They spit blue fire and sleep in the cloud castles above Sornieth.
They are the calm point in a storm, when the Nothing swirls around them, they do not surrender.

Considered the most regal, the de facto leaders - if luck dragons could be said to have leaders - perhaps it's more of a hierarchy...
There is an all-knowingness to them, a quiet understanding of the world around them, as if they've read this story before but are revisiting it for the memories. Moreso than any other luck dragon, they seem to have no temper to speak of; they accept everything around them as part of the neverending story.
They adorn themselves in jewels most often; anything that might catch and reflect sunlight.

[b]| fog-mist |[/b]
Sometimes called twilight luck dragons, they blend in best with the skyline just after dusk, when the sun has slipped from view but before it's truly nightfall. They shimmer closest to the afterlife, some say their somber songs are more like dirges and eulogies for those who've crossed on.
They wear dark attire, often invoking rogues and outsiders.

[b]| sky, robin, storm |[/b]
Sky dragons exclusively live in the clouds - building elaborate iridescent castles that exist between this world and the next. It's said they've forgotten what it's like on the ground. They dance among the sunbeams, spiraling through the air in elaborate dances and rituals.
They enjoy wearing silks and feathers.

Known colloquially as forest luck dragons; strangely enough, they're rarely seen in the sky. Some whisper questions on if they've forgotten how to fly at all. Forest dragons can often be found snoozing in sun puddles, or curled up around the trunks of large trees, catching a light nap.
They adorn themselves with flowers, plantlife, and woodbaskets.

Called the heart of the luck dragons, their love knows no boundaries. They are the epicentre of faith in Sorneith, and it's said if anyone knows where the Ivory Tower might be, [i]the heart[/i] have seen it in their dreams.
They are often seen in armour or thorns, as if guarding themselves and creating a bastion against the Nothing.

And the swamphaunt kelpie reminds me of Artax. I'm terrible.
Petal Jumper
Familiar
These insects are adept at disguising among patches of flowers. They are so adept that other petal jumpers may conceal themselves among their own kind by mistake.
2940
Flutterbun
Familiar
The yearly nocturnal festivities aren't always consumed by gloom and doom; this very rare and colorful critter surfaces on the shortest days of the year and returns to its burrows as the days start to lengthen.
0
Hainu
Familiar
Is a group of hainu a flock or a pack?
2250
Webwing Alpha
Familiar
It's the biggest, and that makes it the best! (It's kind of a jerk about it though.)
1500
Hippogriff
Familiar
Hippogriffs are more social creatures than their gryphon cousins. Their ability to consume meat and grain means that more of them may occupy the same territory.
1600
Sakura Owl
Familiar
The sakura owl blooms only once a year. Many forest denizens will journey long distances to witness the event. Not all of the visitors return...
1675
Clouddancer
Familiar
A playful species of raptor named for their hide-and-seek behavior among cloud banks. (KS-sponsored by Vahilor.)
2650
Dark-Tufted Sparrowmouse
Familiar
A terror to any dragon who gardens.
1500
Zalis
Familiar
Flocks of Zalis light up a jungle canopy.
2550
Arctic Hippalectryon
Familiar
This Hippalectryon emits a frigid aura.
2650
Fallen Streak
Familiar
The intricate armor worn by streaks is not natural, leading some dragons to wonder who is outfitting these predators.
2700
Tatterwing Carcass
Familiar
These imposing zombie-vultures can spend weeks perched in the same spot, waiting for sickly creatures to succumb.
2750
Hulking Greatowl
Familiar
A preferred mount when non-feathered Beastclans need to become airborne. A greatowl can keep pace with most species of dragon in flight.
2500
Stormcloud Harpy
Familiar
Willing to make the best of a bad situation, these Southern Icefield emigrants use their spelled snow to cool the ground where they keep their homes.
2525
Celestial Antelope
Familiar
Resembles a creature of draconic legend from a distance. Up close it merely looks delicious.
2500
Smoke Gyre
Familiar
Smoke Gyres often herald the arrival of their much larger, more destructive cousin, the Firebird.
1900
Sweetpuff
Familiar
The softest fren.
1500
Mottled Buttersnake
Familiar
Beware this snake's deadly vestigial arms. (Colored by Oxygene.)
1800
Enstatite Burrower
Familiar
These small owls will burrow for gems to adorn themselves with in hopes of attracting mates.
500
Swamphaunt Kelpie
Familiar
Kelpies are omnivorous. If they are able to catch live prey, they prefer to drown it first.
250
Of course, the sphinxes are a close ally of Luck dragons, as well.
Magpie Sphinx
Familiar
The Magpie Sphinx will often try to camouflage itself with the sky of the savanna, which is always a roiling amalgamation of the grays and blacks of the storm season.
2300
Dustfeather Sphinx
Familiar
It is not uncommon to see a Dustfeather Sphinx standing completely still. Don't mistake this for stoicism; it can use this unique stance to store energy to aid it in quick and relentless pursuit of prey.
2300
TRINKETS / HOARD
Luck dragons hoard many variety of items, but their favoured above all is books. They may fill their nests with anything they choose, but they will always have at least one book that is beloved.
Each variant tends to favour a different style of book, though individual exceptions apply.
Aged Tome
Dragonmade
Like fine wine, tomes only get better with age. (Special thanks Jayfox.)
70
white
Battered Book of Fables
Dragonmade
The terrible thing is that all your favorite characters die in the end. (Special thanks XenonZerrow.)
70
maize-platinum
Owlcat Journal
Trinkets
Embossed with a colorful owlcat, this journal is filled with the hopes, dreams, and cookie recipes of a young dragon.
24
fog-mist
Forest Field Guide
Trinkets
This tome provides detailed information on the flora and fauna of the region - it seems that many creatures have changed their habits since the forest began to regularly catch fire.
24
sky, robin, storm
Toridae Mythology
Trinkets
Ever heard the one about the Toridae with three riddles? Or the one about the Toridae and the overly large hammer? Neither have we... until now.
37
pistachio, jade
Book of Urban Legends
Trinkets
Tales of dubious validity. Hatchlings can't seem to get enough of them.

We're [i]baaaaaaaack[/i] for version 2.0 of the Luck dragons! I just can't get this subspecies out of my head, so we're bringing it back to life, with a new thread more reserved posts, a bigger lore in the works, and better defined variants :D
I've also opened the subspecies to include spirals and tundra, because I feel both breeds personify different aspects of what luck dragons could be, as well. I'm working on a new google form registration, or revising the old one, i haven't decided yet.
I am so excited to breathe new life into the luck dragons again, and to celebrate I picked up a new mascot Falkor.
[size=2][s]and yes, @Rabbitspirit i picked up Tabitha who i just happened to catch for sale by happenstance!![/s][/size]

@Jaspernoir
I just saw that & I'm glad she's with you! While I still want a luck dragon, I just fell out of love with Tabitha's genes.
Excited to see the new Luck Dragons thread and I love the additional breeds.
I'm also looking forward to the new lore!

Falkor is so dang good.
@Rabbitspirit that is totally okay! I fall out of love with dragons all the time >> I am excited to see what you pick up next :D
I love this so so so much T^T ughhhh I'm a nostalgic mess
The NeverEnding Story was, is, and always will be my favorite story [i]ever[/i].
Nothing has given me the same sense of wonder and feeling of sheer joy.
My childhood was traumatic to say the least... but everything was fine as long as I had Falkor. I used to dream of riding him through an endless sea of fluffy clouds, leaving my sadness far behind. He'll always have a special place in my heart.
Here's my luck dragon <3

I love this so so so much T^T ughhhh I'm a nostalgic mess
The NeverEnding Story was, is, and always will be my favorite story ever.
Nothing has given me the same sense of wonder and feeling of sheer joy.
