Watertails and headcanons of water dragons!
(know here that I refere to ocean water dragons)
The city arose from a need for water dragons to seek refuge from attacks by the Sea serpents who competed for territory and food, since the water dragons found that they enjoyed living in the water that land. First they barely settled in open places like coral barriers or at most in caves, but they soon encountered the sea Serpents and due to their explosion, warnings and attacks soon affected the dragons, a young adult dragon, ( name to decide) determined to find a solution, he risked proposing to find a safer place, and in the process becoming a leader for water dragons, and he found it in a rocky wall where there was an opening quite hidden from view where Underwater cave system wide enough to accommodate a population.
Since then the dragons settled there, the dragons made the effort over time of a magnificent place to live and where they developed and prospered so much that it became the largest and main city of water dragons.
-the dragon that found the place, then was chosen by all the dragons to continue guiding them, seeing that he managed to find a home for them, put their trust in him to take care of it, with some who advised him when he doubted what to do and I always listened to the people ------------ hence derived its system of election that is democratic.
- Certain dragons were chosen so that the entrance is reinforced and fortified over time. And others also wanted to beautify the city by carving it ----------------- hence the profession of artisans.
- A group of dragons protected the entrance, both their elementary and physical abilities stood out, as well as their courage and desire to protect and help the population ... and positions to be more efficient, being part of defends of the city.
- and a group was chosen to obtain food from both fish and plants ………. the water dragons developed a system to hunt over time in a group ……. to be more efficient to provide food to the community and to be with more protection than to go hunting each one on their own, the dragons that went generally stand out as much for their speed as their abilities and work together to catch fish there was another group that were those that collected plants, for food and for medicinal uses that could not grow in the caves ……………………. Hence the positions of the Hunters and gatherers, are also charges that it was one of the most dangerous, due to being more exposed to the attack of sea serpents
Hunting system: like whales or dolphins. Using theire element in favor.
-A dragon or dragoness whas detererminante to of cheering others in times of doubts and fears, that's why they create songs and, and by how this was something that was well received by the rest more were added over time, so music and songs developed in water dragons so much, that it is very common and importat for there society, that most water dragons sing at least a little in theire lives, There is also a talent there, and there are dragons that were dedicated only to singing and it is not Seen as a job inferiorly, even as an great hability.
Until, there was a colossal attack on the city, the largest of all for water dragons, by sea serpents, which had been convinced by the Malefor Himself, that battle caused very serious damage and destruction and a great number of wáter dragons where killed or injured by it, families destroyed by the death or disappearance of their loved ones, a few managed to escape, and took refuge mostly forced to go to land. (One of them was Selestina and her Father Leviatan)
The city is currently abandoned, and it occuped by sea serpents …… And may be, it coud restored to its former glory at some point.
As for the water dragons they are in a very small number and scattered on the earth, tried to recover their lives and numbers again.
More facts about music:
- n land other types or elemental dragons and other animals were enchanted and astonish by the voises and songs of the wáter dragons as they have the most beatiful, melodic and powerfull voises they have never heard on land, and they coud bring hope in times of the dispare in the war.
- water dragos in fact, they discovered and developed over time that theire voises resonance in the caverns in the city , and that expand their songs, making it to their alredy really beatiful and powerfull voises be lisened all over the city. they even formrmed choirs, or create and dedicate events and festivals, making the entire city alive and full of music for days.
- It also often that familys sings in theire own homes too! It a common practise to gatter after a long day to be cosy and sing all thogeter, even mother sings lullabies to theire hachlings to sleep.
Courting:
- Songs and music it bécame so important to wáter dragons and theire culture, that they bécame part of theie courship. In order to attract a posible mates or companions, every wáter dragons create theire own unique song that comes from theire veary own soul and heart, and they create it till they think it is finish or when they have enouch confindent. Then, they go to someplace they prefere and start singing, and other dragons that are touched by the voise and song try to sing their song in order to see if it corresponded by the the dragon that first sings, if that the case, they sing back and they do a duet while dansing. ( the level of coordinancion or correspond varies more or less for each pair, and also the dansing), of couse, after they have to see if the relashionship really works
Also! remember the dragons soldiers / elementless that they apper in dawn of the dragon? it my headcanon (and my brother’s) they are actually water dragons, that couden’t develop or weren’t tauch their element.

This is al that my Idea, headcanons I develope more about oceanic water dragons ad theire city, this may change or add as I see foward,
But I am so happy, they seriously needed more develop that what little my teenage self have thinked of them (like they exist, that their number are little becuse of th war, that spyro’s mother is one of them, her parents ,how they look, that there is city and was destroyed by malefor somehow , no more)
