Thanks to the fact they posses not two, but four wings, Stormcutters are fast and strong flyers, and can fly through thunderstorms with little to no trouble. They have incredibly hard scales, allowing them to take substantial hits without much damage and even recover quickly from crash landings. Stormcutters are also able to hide in clouds, and typically posses scale coloration that allow them to blend in with either a clear morning sky, or a clear night one.

Despite not being a Sharp Class dragon, a Stormcutter's senses are on par with those from the Tracker Class.

Stormcutters shoot sustained, tornado-shaped blasts of fire that are powerful enough to ignite an entire house in seconds. And like Monstrous Nightmares, Stormcutters have flammable saliva.

Highly intelligent, Stormcutters can quickly discern friend from foe. They also know how to pick locks with the hooked fore-talons on their wings.

Curious, confident, sweet, and gentle, Stormcutters are easy to train, as long as you offer them respect and are not a threat. They also like to keep to themselves, preferring not to interact with other species of dragons. Most Stormcutters are diurnal, but certain individuals are active during night hours.

Thunderpedes have strong forearms, which they use to smash boulders and any enemy that gets in their way. They can even level whole houses by hitting the ground with their fists. However, a major drawback of their heavy-hitting capabilities is that they are unable to tread lightly, as their feet always make loud noises no matter what terrain they walk on.

Thunderpedes are one of the physically strongest dragons, capable of taking on an entire fleet of dragon hunters.

Despite having incredibly small wings compared to its body size, a Thunderpede is able to fly without problem.

Social dragons, Thunderpedes live in groups led by alphas, and communicate through stomping and gesturing with their arms. They sleep in caves on a foam-like substance that keeps their bellies soft, making their abdomens their weak points. However, their soft bellies are also key to befriending them, as Thunderpedes love belly rubs.

Sword Stealers have highly magnetic skin that attracts any metal object in their vicinity, which they then uses to create a coat of armor for themselves, much like Boneknappers do with bones.

The color of a Sword Stealer's fire depends on what metal comprises its armor. Some examples include iron making the fire orange, gold making it blue or yellow, and more exotic metals making it purple. Besides this color changing phenomenon, a Sword Stealer's fire is of the average variety.

A large portion of a Sword Stealer's time is spent looking for items to use in their armor. They can often be found raiding armories or battlegrounds before and after skirmishes, stealing weapons, shields, and armor. They can also sniff out veins of metal in the ground.

Much like with Boneknappers, Sword Stealers will warm up to you if you give them something to use in their armor.

Scuttleclaws are mischievous, hyperactive, and playful, often seeming to have unlimited energy. However, flower fragrances can help calm them down.

For firepower, Scuttleclaws can shoot yellowish-green fireballs. The effects and how hot the fire is has yet to be determined.

Scuttleclaws have cold resistance, allowing them to thrive in colder climates. They are strong, fast, agile, and have high endurance. A baby Scuttleclaw can fly with a human on its without too much trouble. They are also incredibly stealthy, partially thanks to their speed and maneuverability, allowing them to get the drop on their enemies and prey.

Taming a Scuttleclaw is a piece of cake, especially if they're still a juvenile. The real problem is getting them to listen to you fully. It takes a strong hand, patience, and determination. But regardless of whether you can fully train them or not, they won't mind carrying anyone or going in the general direction their rider wants to go, they'll simply ignore smaller or more refined orders.

Being Tidal Class dragons, Sand Wraiths can typically be found on or near beaches. They are semi-aquatic, and can hold their breathes for long periods of time underwater. They're also medium-sized dragons, meaning they can easily carry a human or two on their backs.

Sand Wraiths are feisty, fast and extremely agile. Instead of regular fire, they shoot hardened balls of sand surrounded by weak fire. They are experts at camouflage, burying themselves in the sand to wait for unsuspecting prey, or to avoid getting sunburn as their skin is sensitive to the ultraviolet rays.

Boneknappers have incredibly soft skin. To protect it, they gather bones and use them to create armor for themselves. They are very particular about their armor, and will spend years searching for a bone that fits just right and even put their lives at risk to attain it.

A curious fact of the Boneknappers is that without certain parts of their armor complete, some of their abilities are blocked or hindered, such as their roar. When in possession of a specific sternum bone, they are able to produce a powerful roar than can blow back most nearby objects and be used as a call to attract other Boneknappers.

While a Boneknapper's fire blast is quite large and creates a lot of carbon diozide, it is not very hot.

Boneknappers tend to be solitary and aggressive before their armor is complete, but once they've finished it, they become calm and friendly. When given physical affection, Boneknappers act like puppies, lying on their backs and wagging their tails.

Taming a Boneknapper without a complete set of armor requires helping them finish it, or giving them whatever bone they're searching for currently. A Boneknapper who has finished its life's work will be quiet easy to tame, needing only the usual show of respect and a non-threatening attitude to win it over.
