Creature:Gunstar Dragon

Biology
Zmeu are generally around 8 to 12 meters long though they never truly stop growing and can live up to five hundred years so they can get much larger. They have pale under bellies that change color to match the sky above them as effective camouflage when flying, as well as scales as hard as titanium. All Zmeu have eyes that have a hypnotic quality to them and all have fire as a breath weapon. Not two Zmeu look a like and all adapt to suit their environment. If mortally wounded Zmeu can displace their soul to be reincarnated into another Zmeu, but will loose all their memories.

Zmeu breed slowly and are hatched from eggs with shells hard as steel. When they hatch they are palm sized and wingless though they grow quickly and possess a distinct dimorphism that become obvious as the grown. From each clutch of eggs arises a dominant hatchling that develops wings and grows faster. These dominate Hatchlings are called Dracul. The subservient hatchlings grow slower, do not develop wings, and are called Dracs. This and the fact that Dracs are more common then Dracul means Zmeu are often mistaken for Lacertilian Theriocephali rather then the dragons that they are.

Despite being a genderless race Zmeu do develop male and female personalities. Dracul gather harems of Dracs which provide for them and their hatchlings. When reproducing Dracul act as the females laying the eggs and caring for them.

Zmeu can form bonds with other races making the Zmeu stronger, this is rare though.

Bahavior
Zmeu are highly intelligent and very territorial, while they will generally ignore most ground based intrusions into their territory as long as the intruder is not hostile, they will fiercely attack any aerial intrusion. They are also extremely prideful and looked down on most other races. Zmeu are secretive especially when it comes to their names which they only give to their most trusted companions. Knowing a Zmeu's full name and a Zmeu knowing someone else's full name will establish a psychic connection between the two which is why the Zmeu are secretive. Zmeu highly prize wisdom, strength, and power and may give a certain trustworthy individuals their full name and allow them to ride them.

Tribes
Zmeu are divided into tribes that signifies their territory, scale color, and traits.
