The pride parade today was really fun! Unfortunately, I couldn’t stick around long enough for the group picture in my shard due to a headache, but I had so much fun!

I didn’t get any good screenshots because the gathering was just so massive and I feared what would happen if I turned my graphics up, so I’m hoping someone got good screenshots of me, haha.

I was my Trahearne alt for the entire march. I’ll be going to the march tomorrow, too, on my trans Commander character!

Skyscale

Scientific Name: Draconis squamacaelum Features: short face, beaked mouth with interlocking/exposed teeth, red bags under the eyes, a pair of large black horns curving forward from the top of the head, a pair of short black horns growing from the jawline, singular thumbs on the wings, short/muscular legs, thick spined tail, two black crests of horns starting from the shoulders and running down the length of the tail, four crests along the topside of the tail, thick black talons. Abilities: Blast, Wall Cling, Descend, Dash, Air Rescue, Rift Repair, Wall Launch Archetype: Deadly (Merge with a Juvenile Fire Wyvern as a placeholder for your Skyscale.) Colors: Black horns and claws, gray underbelly, footpads, and wing webbing tips, red undertones, any color for the rest. Size: 15 - 28 feet long (from nose to tail), 28 - 40 foot wingspan,  Weight: 700 - 1,600 lbs.

Diet: Omnivore Distribution: Dragonfall (formerly) Trainable: Yes

“Skyscales are a new and mysterious draconic life form. They use their powerful wings to lift into the air from the ground and maintain altitude and can cling to walls to regain their strength. With a skyscale companion, you’ll reach heights you’ve only dreamed of.”

“Thanks to the Commander’s training, the skyscale species now has an innate steed-rider instinct and a desire to soar to new heights.”

Skyscales are a new species of lesser dragons born from the Mists out of the disturbances caused by Kralkatorrik and Aurene. Similar to other lesser dragon species, like wyverns and drakes, while they are capable of consuming magic, they are not capable of ascending into Elder Dragons. The original Skyscales were “born” from the Mists fully grown, resulting in an accelerated growth rate that eventually killed them prematurely. However, the next generation were born from eggs normally and do not suffer from this accelerated aging.

Acquisition: Getting an adult Skyscale is not as easy as purchasing a Raptor or Springer, but is considerably easier than learning the griffon taming techniques of the Sunspears. Following the first generation of Skyscales, there were many eggs across Dragonfall gathered by the Commander and incubated by Gorrik. Sun’s Refuge still houses the equipment necessary for Priory members stationed there to continue Gorrik’s work of saving the Skyscale species. The species’ innate need for a rider creates the Priory’s demand for future dragon riders to come and apply for a Skyscale. Those accepted will be evaluated and then given an egg to care for. Those with Skyscales already (either from eggs found on Dragonfall or through the application process) are free to breed their dragons and sell or give the eggs to whoever they wish.

Hatching: Despite being unprecedented creatures, the genius work of Gorrik, Taimi, and now more researchers from across Tyria, have unlocked new discoveries into the life cycle of Skyscales. It was confirmed first by Aurene and later by the Commander that exposure of magic to a dragon egg causes it to hatch sooner. Aurene’s egg absorbed magic from the ley line surge while the Commander exposed their Skyscale egg to twelve kinds of finer forms of magic. A balanced exposure to various magics will produce a healthy and standard skyscale hatchling. (I will be documenting the effects of magic on skyscales with the help of some researchers, especially situations when one form of magic is favored above the others- altering the skyscale.) The magic one would need their egg to absorb would be from three powerful sources of: Water, Fire, Ice, Earth, Air, Life, Blood, Growth, Death, Spirit, Fear, and Courage. Variety will produce a healthy hatchling, so leeching off your local Elementalist won’t make the cut!

Imprinting: Immediately after hatchling, a Skyscale will imprint on whoever they see first– and maintain eye contact with. The imprintee must be the one responsible to care for the hatchling since they are the dragon’s chosen rider. Non-imprinted caretakers will find the hatchling to be petulant.

Feeding: Similarly to Griffons, Skyscales can eat and digest just about anything. This is why you should play with your pet to avoid them eating or destroying things they shouldn’t (more on that later.) Skyscales are primarily meat and magic eaters. To sustain a hatchling, feed them a diet mainly consisting of skyscale food with a variety of treats from any creature. Skyscale food is obtained by throwing 2 Slabs of Red Meat, 1 Charged Quartz Crystal, 5 Globs of Ectoplasm, and 25 Piles of Bloodstone Dust together in the Mystic Forge in Lion’s Arch. You will receive a piece of meat encrusted in a blue, magical substance. (Wear special gloves when handling bloodstone, as it can burn through untreated leather and skin easily!) Adult Skyscales can be fed the same food as well. You should feed a hatchling four times a day until they are ready to leave the nest. A hatchling will not leave the nest until then and will need you present for it’s growth.

Enrichment: Due to their intellect, raising a Skyscale is not unlike that of a child. Because of this, they need regular playtime to encourage imagination and problem-solving skills. This can also create an excellent bond with your Skyscale that should be established early-on to prevent the youngling from running away as they reach adolescence. Playing Catch with your skyscale can teach a rider and dragon to coordinate. Hide-And-Seek lets a hatchling exercise their problem-solving and observational skills to become stealthier and a better hunter. Play Dead is a great way to introduce your hatchling to the concept of imaginative play. Obedience Training such as “Sit” and “Stay” teaches your hatchling manners. Be sure to give them plenty of scritches and make mealtimes fun by tossing the food to your skyscale from a distance. You can bond with your Skyscale by teaching them how to defend themselves by roaring or breathing fire at a target.

Grooming: Skyscales typically don’t like to stay dirty, but luckily they’re easy to clean. Get a bucket and rinse them down. Just like that!

Growth: Skyscales grow incredibly fast, reaching a youngling status within 12 weeks of routine care. A hatchling should be meeting the minimum requirement for each ascending weight class each week for the first twelve weeks since hatching.

Week 1: Pinweight (20 lbs.)

Week 2: Atomweight (25 lbs.)

Week 3: Strawweight (30 lbs.)

Week 4: Flyweight (35 lbs.)

Week 5: Batamweight (40 lbs.)

Week 6: Featherweight (45 lbs.)

Week 7: Lightweight (55 lbs.)

Week 8: Welterweight (75 lbs.)

Week 9: Middleweight (90 lbs.)

Week 10: Cruiserweight (110 lbs.)

Week 11: Heavyweight (130 lbs.)

Week 12: Fullweight (150 lbs.)

Notice the roughly exponential growth beginning around 7 weeks of age. This growth spurt is normal and expected, but results in increased horn growth which can be hard for the hatchling to adapt to. You may find your hatchling catching their horns on furniture more frequently around this time. They may also start trying to use them, so be patient and firm with any unwanted behavior!

Training, exploration, and other physical activity should be increased as your Skyscale grows from a Youngling into a rideable adult. 

Saddle: While the Commander’s saddle is built to last essentially forever, newer riders aren’t so lucky as to have a saddle built from some of the rarest materials in Tyria. Skyscale saddles can still be built using sandpaper, Gossamer, Hardened Leather, an adhesive, Gossamer Thread, Orchichalcum or Mithril Rivets, and saddle oil, but it won’t last as long. Gorrik released his saddle design to leather workers so you can often find at least one commissionable saddle maker in each major city today. The saddle should fit comfortably and Skyscales have an innate rider-mount instinct so harnessing them should be easy, or even anticipated. Be warned; commissions are expensive! Once you have the saddle, you should get it checked at least every season. If you’re an active or daily rider who performs intense activity, I would personally suggest every five to ten weeks. Buckles can wear down over time which could result in a catastrophic fall. To remedy a possible emergency, trainers can teach their Skyscale how to maneuver to catch them mid-air. In the event of a fall, remain calm and command your dragon as if it were another training session. They can catch you on their back in the space between their spiny crests. It will be a hard fall, but not as hard as the ground!

Rift Repair: Kralkatorrik consumed part of the Mists, destabilizing reality. Aurene has been working to repair the Mists now that she is an Elder Dragon and connected to the All, but she could always use more help! Repairing rifts in your local area can even be a fun way to feed your Skyscale loose magic that needs to be cleaned up. Rifts can be identified as fluctuating coalescences that almost look like a hole or an error. They’re hard to look at directly due to their shifting appearance, but if you fly your Skyscale to it they should begin closing the rift. Once repair has begun, follow the trail of volatile energy until you find the other side of the rift. Repairing this line is comparable to stitching a tear in clothing shut. If left unchecked, the two sides of the rift could widen or tear, pulling everything between the two ends into the Mists or releasing Mist entities into Tyria. Your help is crucial! Additional Notes: Skyscales have a weak point on the neck, just behind the jawline. The skin there is very soft and sensitive and Skyscales love it when you scratch them there. Utilize this well when raising your hatchling so they become more attached to you! Skyscales shed their scales semi-frequently throughout their entire lives. These scales are fire resistant and some riders have already fashioned armor from the sheddings of their mounts. I’ve met a few who keep their hatchling’s baby scales or egg shell pieces in a jar, bottle, or sachet around their neck for good luck.

Cascades Heeler

Scientific Name: Sicutacanis cultae Features: Elongated snout, larger nose, shorter ears, fluffy chest, long fur covering the entire tail, Similar body build to Springers (small front paws, enormous back legs, tripod walking gait, etc.) Abilities: Cannonball, Rocket Jump, Fortified Descent, Forceful Impact, High Vault, Masterful Descent Archetype: Versatile (Merge with a Juvenile Hyena as a placeholder for your Cascades Heeler.) Colors: Three colors for the underbelly/inner ear (typically light), border color for the outer ears, sides of the neck, shoulders, forearms, thighs, and tail (medium color), and a tertiary color for the forehead, back, flank, and salting the pattern of the tail (typically darkest) Size: 5 feet - 7 feet tall Weight: 500 - 750 lbs.

Diet: Omnivorous (Primarily meat or wurms with sugar pumpkins or carrots for fiber) Distribution: Woodland Cascades Trainable: Yes

Despite resembling dogs in appearance and demeanor, Cascade Heelers are considered their own species unrelated to dogs or springers. The name  Sicutacanis cultae has been chosen, meaning “Like the herding dog.” These are a Springer Class species with similar abilities to the True Springer species.

Cascade Heelers are alert, curious, and pleasant companions with an instinctual ability to control the movement of other animals. Out in the Woodland Cascades, ranchers roughing it deep in Centaur territory rely on these animals to gather, herd, and protect livestock from hostile residents of the forest. Even further, they can maneuver the rockier landscapes of the Cascades, turning week long journeys into days as they scale mountains to avoid Centaur outposts and ambush points. The herding instinct is so strong in these Springer-Class mounts that they will gently herd owners (especially children). These intelligent creatures make excellent pets and respond well to training.

Compact and muscular, these resilient herders and intelligent enough to routinely outsmart their owners. These hard-muscled mounts of strength and agility are born with a white goat that turns blue-gray, red, orange, or brown as they mature. Heelers have an immense work drive and require regular activity to prevent boredom or worse. Challenge your Heeler regularly to keep them from causing mischief! They excel and hunting, chasing, and moving livestock or rounding up Centaurs in a battle.

Due to their intelligence Heelers may be wary of strangers. We spent most of our visit with Mr. Poss as his Heeler Willow kept her distance from me, Cherry, and my partner. She eventually warmed up enough for me to get my measurements on her and her pups though.

Nutrition: Cascade Heelers should do well on a high-quality diet of home-prepared raw meat and wurms. Don’t be afraid to include sugar pumpkins or carrots in your Heeler’s diet, as these are great sources of fiber for them. These animals are very athletic, active mounts so be mindful that your Heeler is getting good nutrition to meet their needs. Avoid feeding them people-food with almonds, chocolate, cinnamon, garlic, ice cream, and onion as this can cause health problems or death.

Grooming: Heelers are meant to work outdoors. They have a smooth, double-layer coat that protects them from the elements. This coat has no odor or oily residue, so a quick brushing once a week can suffice. Heelers shed their undercoat twice a year. During shedding season, every few days they will need a very thorough brushing to help them with the process. They only need occasional baths.

Exercise: A very active, high-energy mount, the Cascades Heeler needs more than walks and playtime. Heelers need a job in order to remain happy and healthy. On a working farm and ranch, this may not be an issue, especially if there are animals to herd or Centaurs to hunt. In other living situations, daily rides with their owner can be a good outlet for energy.

Training: Early socialization and obedience training are a must for the Cascade Heeler. They are a highly intelligent, athletic mount that is only really happy on the job. Therefore, continuing training, obedience, herding, and agility throughout the Heelers lifetime is recommended. Cascade Heelers are a long-time, day and night commitment for the owner and is fun for the both of you. If you don’t keep your Heeler occupied, they may become bored, destructive, or depressed. They may be stubborn in training as well as a little aloof, so be patient and respectful!

Health: A responsible breeder will screen breeding stock for health conditions such as deafness, progressive retinal atrophy, PRA which causes vision loss, and hip dysplasia. Check your Heeler’s ears regularly for foreign matter, wax buildup, or mites and brush their teeth regularly. 

These mounts are built to cope with the rough terrain and temperatures of the Woodland Cascades. As an invaluable asset to ranchers and Seraph agents behind enemy lines, Cascade Heelers have been on the rise in the forest. They are not known for being vocal other than when deemed necessary, such as when they are overly excited or wary of a stranger. Cascade Heelers are protective of their families and are always on high alert, watching out for anything out of the ordinary. A Heeler can hear a troop of Centaurs miles away before their owner ever does. These mounts are playful and eager to please in most cases. As a result of their intelligence, they require an experienced handler to train them in combat situations and build a strong prey drive. Overall, a very loyal mount!
