Fiction:Cosmos of Nahiarus/Dragon

Dragons are an umbrella term to define a series of creatures found across the realms of Cosmos and Chaos. Typically defined as massive reptilian creatures, Dragons are the most ancient form of life to have descended from the deities of the universe.

Primordial Dragon
The Primordial Dragons are so named for being the first of their kind, and are considered a type of deity in their own right. Unlike other kinds of dragons, there is only one kind of each Primordial Dragon. Most of the Primordial Dragons disappeared before the beginning of written history - some of which were believed to still be slumbering deep beneath the earth.

Primordial Dragons are depicted as being immense beings; prehistoric Aurelian poetry describe them as towering over multiple mountain peaks at once, with their heads alone being able to block out the sun over miles of land. In numerical characteristics, Primordial Dragons span several kilometres in length.

Great Dragon
Great Dragons are names given to the widest classification of dragons across the universe. Great Dragons are typically immortal creatures that only grow more powerful as the ages pass. Great Dragons tend to be more strongly linked with magic than their lesser kin. Great Dragons are put into sub-classifications based on the geographical region they originate from, or realm if they are extraplanar. In adulthood, Great Dragons typically range from 40 metres (130 feet) to over 250 metres (820 feet) in some species.

Lesser Dragon
Lesser Dragons are smaller (albeit still massive) kinds of dragon that differ from their greater cousins, primarily by a weaker link to magic, smaller stature and a finite lifespan. They are also characterised by lesser intelligence, though vary between feral and the reasoning ability of humans or elves. In rare occasions, Lesser Dragons are born with strong links to magic and exhibit supernatural characteristics. Lesser Dragons tend to range between 10 metres (33 feet) to 40 metres (130 feet) in adulthood, and live between 500 to 3000 years.
