{A/N Hello good people this is going to be where I put the entries of dragons. These entries are also very likely to change as the story progresses as either new things about the dragon are discovered or I feel like revamping a couple things because it would make more biological and evolutionary sense.
With that out of the way I hope you enjoy.
—----------------------------
Deadly Nadder
Such as Deadly Nadders apparently being dragons that are rather solitary for most of their lives.
Only living together when raising children or being raised. Otherwise living alone in their territory. With females apparently being the ones that hold territory with males acting more like lions and going wherever they wish.
Only ever staying in one spot when their mate has laid eggs. With the males then staying behind in the females territory to protect the hatchlings while the mother hunts for whatever can be found. With some things having transferred from the shows and movies.
Such as a Deadly Nadder being vain. Where they will pick at their plumage and scales to make sure they're as bright and colorful as possible. With it showing physical fitness to live with such bright colors as well as make a mesmerizing dance to entice the opposite sex.
Such dances actually go both ways. With whoever that messes up or does something disliked not being able to choose how the next step proceeds. The one that performed adequately deciding whether to leave. Like the male leaving if the female does poorly or the female driving off the male if a mistake was made.
Though it is common for the two to meet a middle ground if they are still desirable despite their dance skills. This leads to the obvious coupling and hopeful possibility of incubated eggs. If such, the male will teach them how to grow adjusted to the body.
This usually being how to fly, walk, eat, and many more things. Most importantly though being how to use their magnesium blast and tail quills. While the male teaches all of these things it is up to the mother to teach hunting and mating rituals.
After the hatchlings are raised and know how to do all of these things they leave the nest with the father following suit not much long afterwards. Leaving the mother alone and to possibly find another mate and start the process anew.
With it saying Nadders prefer to eat birds due to the taste and flavor. With a Nadders preferred bird being a chicken due to them easily being caught and being quite dense.
Though Nadders will also happily eat fish, deer, yaks, and boars if they come across them. With it also not being uncommon to see a Nadder eating a variety of plants but little is understood on why they do.
Nadders are also most commonly found in the barbaric archipelago but sightings all across that of Europe due to being a widespread species that can easily populate. Though nadders generally prefer to be close to the ocean similar to that of the archipelago due to the density of sea birds.
With a Nadder occasionally using their magnesium blast to herd birds in the air similar to how sea animals do with fish. This allows the Nadder to have a higher chance to catch their prey and return home with food.
Monstrous Nightmare
The monstrous nightmare is a large stoker class dragon that will typically live by itself. With there only being two times this isn't true. The first being in their infancy where young monstrous nightmares will stick together and figure out how to navigate their bodies and the world around them.
The second being when it comes to mating or living under an alpha. With monstrous nightmares having rather large territories that they are very protective of. This being due to how much a monstrous nightmare needs to eat to fuel its body.
This also explains their rather fiery temper and deciding its better to fight first and ask questions later. Usually seeing any dragon or animal that is smaller than them as weaker and lower in the pecking order. This also being the same with how these dragons decide their mates.
With large males having more choices on who they can mate with and usually bullying smaller males. Though this doesn't stop craftier smaller males from sneaking about and managing to get to a female. Even if this can lead to their possible death if caught by the larger male.
While the female is rather uncaring on which of the two mates with her. Rather a female monstrous nightmare will try to mate with as many males as possible to ensure that her eggs are safe after the mating season is over.
This is usually because if a male dies leaving the female unattended they will destroy the eggs from the previous mate to ensure that only their line continues. Not caring how this would affect the mate at the sight of their crushed eggs.
Though not all monstrous nightmares are like this with some cases of females letting out a distress call where a more kind hearted male will help the female and remove the new male. This potentially leading to the aiding male to become the new mate or simply wishing to help in passing
While the monstrous nightmares most known ability being able to set itself on fire which is due to its kerosene gel. Which it secretes from the sweat and saliva glands. The gel after drying can also work as a fireproof adhesive which helps the monstrous nightmare not cook itself. With the dragon in its infancy producing an excess of this gel to ensure they are properly coated.
Though despite it being a dragon notorious for setting itself on fire it is an extraordinarily good swimmer. This being because of its sail-like protrusions on its body and snake like form. But this usually leads to a monstrous nightmare to not set itself on fire and remove both its strongest ability and defense.
This could even be detrimental to a monstrous nightmare if their bodies aren't properly coated in their kerosene gel. This leads to possible hypothermia due to their fire providing most of their body heat as well as giving them resistance to other dragon fire.
But this is only a concern in older dragons or those that have issues in coating since birth. With those that die from this problem being natural selection. Unless this is being forced upon them of course.
The monstrous nightmare can typically be found throughout areas with dense forests and caves. As these dragons prefer to make controlled forest fires to signal mates. While also providing adequate coverage to rain and other weather phenomena.
With some Monstrous Nightmares living in the same cave and forest they were originally hatched in. Though this usually only being the strongest of the clutch which will claim this territory. Where the others will set out in their adolescence to find their own territories.
With most Monstrous Nightmares being quite diverse carnivores. Commonly being found eating anything they can catch from fish, birds, boars, and even small dragons. Though usually preferring fish the most despite the fact it can cause adverse effects if submerged for too long and have an issue producing their gel.
Due to the Monstrous Nightmares' rather diverse appetite they can be found throughout all of Europe, especially areas that have warmer seasons. Though quite like the Deadly Nadder they can be densely found in the Barbaric Archipelago due to their being less human settlements and expansion.
But like all creatures the Monstrous Nightmare has its own set of disorders. Such as the excess production of gel. This has both its pros and cons. Such as a constant intimidation display but also preventing them from having a permanent home.
This disorder being quite hard to identify as juvenile Monstrous Nightmares already produce an excess of gel but as they age the production lowers more and starts to regulate itself. But in this case gel will be at an all time high of production.
This sometimes leads to burns, accidental forest fires, and loss of hunting opportunities. Though there have been rare cases of maturity being reached and even becoming the apex of this species if they are able to reach peak maturity. Making them unrivaled amongst their species even against Titanwings which can be twice the size.
With another disorder being a Monstrous Nightmare that can't produce any gel. Though those born with such a disorder quickly dying due to a lack of heat or sickness.
