THE ARMAGEDDON SERIES MMORPG

Name: The Fire Ridgeback Dragon

Element: Fire

Place of Origin: Great Britain

Description: The Fire Ridgeback Dragons are considered the most feared beasts known to man.  Reaching its full growth of forty-eight feet in length with a wingspan of ninety feet, this dragon was regarded as one of the leaders of the Dragons of the Four Elements with their riders deemed the Dark Knights.  The Fire Ridgeback Dragons are cunning and decietful; they normally linger around volcanoes and often smell of sulfur.  They are identified by the crown-like horns upon their head, which, according to legend, meant that these dragons were perhaps descended from royalty and were originally considered the rulers of all beasts.  Throughout history, the Fire Ridgeback Dragons raged war against the Black Fire Dragons to determine which beast was more powerful.  

Name: The Black Fire Dragon

Element: Fire

Place of Origin: Germany

Description: Much like the Fire Ridgeback Dragons, the Black Fire Dragons, so named for their special ability to breathe black fire,  are also extremely powerful and cunning.  However, these dragons are incredibly rare.  Most were slain for their precious hide by other people of the magical community.  In addition, the Fire Ridgeback Dragons almost eliminated this species to determine which dragon type was more powerful.  The Black Fire Dragons are just as large as the Fire Ridgebacks, but some dragons from this species tend to have somewhat longer wingspans.  These dragons normally dwell near caves or swamps.  

Name: The Hydra

Element: Water

Place of Origin: Greece

Description: This dragon spends most of its time in water, but are sometimes found flying through the air (depending on the type; some Hydra can possess wings).  This dragon can reach the size of a little over fifty feet and begins with nine heads.  When one of the heads of this dragon is cut off, two more grow in the place of the spouting blood.  

Name: The Wyvern

Element: Earth

Place of Origin: Sweden and France

Description: The Wyvern can have two legs (in rare instances, they can have four).  They have a sting at the end of their tail that's filled with poison.  The famous Marco Polo claimed to have encountered one.

The Wyvern is a fierce hunter who lives mainly in the forest and works mostly at night.  Since the Wyvern is the guardian of earth, one of its most famous tactics of hunting is clutching the ground and moving it in the direction of its prey to catch it.  

Name: The Sairys

Element: Air

Place of Origin: China

Description: The Sairys (sair'-iss) is the dragon guardian of the winds.  This dragon is usually yellow, and is more vibrant and active than other dragon species.  The Sairys has a bad habbit with fickleness, bragging, and forgetfulness, but are really intelligent and optimistic beasts.   

Name: The Emerald Dragon

Element: Unknown

Place of Origin: Unknown

Description: There are many unknown mysteries of this dragon.  Besides the Fire Ridgeback dragons, the Emerald Dragon is considered the lord of all dragons and is neither good nor evil.  It is rarely seen, although some claim to have seen it living up on Vehement Volcano while others believed to see it swimming in Lake Peril near the Eir Berith Islands, usually mistaken for a giant sea serpent.  This dragon often visits the Hinterlands for food, tormenting the Wolf Riders who live there.  The Emerald Dragon is perhaps the only dragon that can speak vocally to humans.  Moreover, it can exhale a poisonous and fatal gas that instantly kills its foe, disintegrating its flesh to ash.
