Dragons

Medusa Dragon

Medusa Dragons are Dragons with horns that look somewhat like snakes.  In other words, their horns are not straight.  I understand that there are also some Medusa Dragons with snake-like horns that actually have snake heads on the ends.  I will draw that after I get a chance to see it.   

Signal Dragon

Signal Dragons are Dragons who are tamed by Elves or Fairies to work as signal makers.  They learn to signal with blasts of fire.  Morse Code was based on their signal method.  This Signal Dragon is working for Fairies.  Now don't assume that the Dragon is working under duress.  Not all dragons are bad and those tamed by Elves and Fairies are actually quite friendly.  Note the lack of smoke.  The Signal Dragons try to do short blasts of fire with minimal smoke.  This allows the signal to be seen from other mountains or down in the valleys.  

Fire Dragon

A Fire Dragon is a Dragon that is particularly fond of fire.  Most of them now days are under Fairy and Elf control,  however, some are known to be fire starters.  They don't attack urban areas, but out in the mountains or deep forest some of the fires that are attributed to lightning are actually caused by Fire Dragons.   Dragons that like burning things tend to get smoke stains on their wing, hense the darker coloring on the Fire Dragon's wings in the drawing.  I would NOT want to be in that forest that this Fire Dragon is thinking about torching.   IF you want, you could color this drawing with the woods already on fire.   

A quick note on how Dragons fly.   .   .  If you wondered how Dragons fly the answer is simple.  Hydrogen and Methane gas.  The Dragons have bodies that are large hydrogen balloons.  Hydrogen is the lightest element.  Methane is a molecule made up of only one carbon and four hydrogen atoms.  So methane has an atomic weight of just 16.  Hydrogen has an atomic weight of only one a.m.u. or Atomic Mass Units.  Both these gasses are way less dense than air which is just over 28 a.m.u.   So, along with hollow bones like birds and dinosaurs, the gas makes a dragon less dense than air.  

One more thing, a dragon that overeats is at risk of not being able to fly.   

They also have the ability to spit fire because they have an ignighter in their mouth.  This ignighter is actually their teeth.  They click their teeth together as they exhale methane or hydrogen gas.  This ignights the gas and poof... FIRE!  We call them Fire Breathing Dragons, but they don't actually inhale fire.  They blow flamable gas out and ignight it.  If a Dragon messes up and breathes the flame inside he or she is in almost as much trouble as most animals would be. Dragons only have partial protection from accidentally breathing in the fire.  That protection is particularly dense mucus.  I know, that is kind of gross but there it is.
