FEAR CLASS

Fear class dragons are the dragons that you don't go looking for, they find you. Avoid them at all costs. What makes something a fear class dragon is active hunting of both humans and dragons. "Impossible to train" and high intelligence usually applies as well. These dragons will hunt and kill you with no provocation, you and your dragon are food. You cannot put your hand on these dragons and just become friends. This is why this class was added again, there are dragons that just want you dead.

The other dragons in this class have so many Superstitions, Legends, and horror stories associated with them they have ascended to a mythic status.

Their eggs and nesting habits are super varied.

If you want to train a fear class dragon. Don't. Your only option would be to raise them from an egg. Even then you are not guaranteed safety. The only people who truly befriend these dragons are unique cases.

STRIKE CLASS

Strike dragons are speed incarnate. Perfect precision with the agility to match their speed. These are kings of the skies and specialized to eat and take out other dragons. Powerful jaws to break bones and powerful shots to strike dragons out of the sky. Strike class dragons are also wicked smart, allowing them to outsmart their prey and hunters. Most being nocturnal they have excellent vision and hearing. When not in the sky they spend their time in mountains, cliffs, and caves. They can climb to extreme altitudes and endure insane weather. Many are able to conduct lightning in some manner or other.

Strike class dragons have small clutches, heavily protected by parents. When strike class eggs hatch a deafening crack like thunder occurs. Announcing the birth of a new king of the skies.

If you wish to train a strike class, you must be clever, intelligent, have a fish and be patient. But you will have a lifelong friend, an equal, and a brother(or sister) for life. They will take you to the farthest edge of the world and show you things that no other human will ever see.

TRACKER CLASS

Tracker class dragons are strong, tough, and friendly. Having some of the most potent senses ever. Undefeated sense of smell, hearing, taste, and sight. This class is very diverse because of the variety of senses. although they usually specialize in one. These dragons are also expert trackers, able to stalk and follow you for hundreds of miles. Because of this they have high endurance, able to take hits, go for weeks without food, and fly/walk for miles. The dragons that have incredible senses of smell are usually extremely friendly. Being able to smell allies from foes. They are often found in swamps and wetlands.

Tracker dragon eggs are usually thick shelled and camouflaged. The nests are usually made of mud or clay and underground. When Tracker class dragons are babies they are usually quite upset and disoriented. Being overwhelmed by their powerful senses. Because of this they are usually glued to their parents. As they age they become used to their new senses and more friendly and chill.

If you plan on trying to tame a tracker class dragon, make sure you have food, a good vibe, strength, and are ready to get dirty. They are very down to earth, literally, so after befriending one you will be dusty and muddy. But having a good time. If you befriend a tracker class you have gained an awesome coworker (think work horses). They love work and helping out, carrying heavy objects and building things are their specialty. When it comes to fighting they prefer to be defensive rather than offensive.

TIDAL CLASS

From giant titans to tiny minnows, the tidal class has the second most diverse collection of dragons. All unified by water, whether its fresh or Arctic, Deep or Salt. Most of these dragons are water breathers or amphibious. Often sporting more cool colors and their appendages are often closer to fins than proper dragon wings. There is also a marked lack of fire breath. Usually manipulating water in some way, either boiling or freezing. Many Tidal class Dragons dry out if they are on land for too long, leading to dehydration and eventual death.

Tidal class eggs almost always need to be under water. When they hatch they explode into a boiling water blast. Babies are able to swim on hatching.

If you plan on training a tidal class dragon, wear a swimsuit and bring fish. Also KNOW HOW TO SWIM. If you are able to train a tidal dragon you will have a wonderful fishing and exploration friend.

(there isn't as much info for this one because of how incredibly varied the class is. too many exceptions to make rules.)

MYSTERY CLASS

Mystery class dragons are hard to find and even harder to understand. This class is the most diverse as all the rare and little known dragons get shoved here. However the permanent residents in this class are more uniformed. Stealthy, Camouflaging, and curiosity. Most mystery dragons are dead quiet and associated with ghost stories and monsters. They are often excellent climbers and extremely agile. Their fire breaths are just as strange, with several spitting acid and other oddities.

Their eggs are varied, strange, and camouflaged. The babies are almost never seen, having even better camouflage than their parents.

If you are trying to tame a mystery class. Good luck cause they'll find you first! But its always a good idea to carry a fish, mirror, and shield. If one finds you, stay calm, and do a magic trick. If you are good enough, their curiosity will overcome their aggression, and you might be on your way to make a wonderfully strange friend.

SHARP CLASS

These vain and speedy dragons are precise and deadly. Usually covered in spines and spikes or razor sharp body parts. You can often find these dragons in the woods, marking up/cutting down trees to mark their territory. Sharp class dragons have a high regenerative rate because of the need to replace the spines they loose. Making them fast to recover, however this recovery is not always correct. Leading to incorrectly healed bones and fractures being common. Even with a rider, its almost impossible to keep these dragons from moving while trying to heal them. Sharp class dragons often have short, broad wings, designed for agility and speed. Prehensile tails are also common, excellent for catching prey or throwing spines.

All sharp class eggs are protected by spines. Some can even fire these spines. Sharp class dragons usually have intricately constructed nests, like birds. Often interweaving their shed spines as extra defense. Because of this the parents often leave the eggs alone for long periods of time. When they hatch the spines often pop off first. The babies spines' are small and less developed, relying on the parents for protection. As they grow their spines harden and they begin to test their wings till they're kicked out of the nest.

If you plan to try and tame a sharp class dragon, you are going to need a mirror, a shield, and a LONG list of compliments. The best way to distract ALL sharp class dragons, is a mirror or reflective shield. It will stop them dead in their tracks and the dragon will immediately start preening and looking at its reflection. Though flighty these dragons are excellent companions, especially for prideful or vain individuals. Sharp dragons have a habit of teaching their riders important lessons in humility.
