So yes, the virifury is a species I named, but it's just a cool name for what I am (I don't see many dragons on here naming species like that but I thought it would be fun lol). I'm related to night furies, but we've been separated by many years and are different in several ways. Basically, I knew I was shaped generally like a night fury, but that I had some pretty significant physiological differences and didn't live in the same part of the world.

Physically, virifuries have longer snouts, ears, and limbs. We also have shinier scales to mimic dew, and slight color changing abilities (think about green anoles). Camoflague is important to light and night furies, and that's no different for virifuries. I also have more scientifically accurate wing anatomy (think of bat wings) and so have a small thumb I can use to help me climb trees. Most of my flying is done as gliding through forests, so my wings are also a little more slim. Scale color and small body changes are most of the differences.

Physiologically, we have less in common. I do not have breath powers, and my movement/functioning is modeled more after canines (night furies were modeled after felines). Also, we live in different sides of the world! Virifuries are native to the temperate rainforests of North America- a whole different continent than night furies.
