Dragons (ドラゴン, doragon?) are large reptilian creatures that have evolved wings from their clavicles or shoulder blades. There are many types of dragons on many planets; some possessing high intelligence and capable of speech; others no smarter than average, wild animals.
An Air Dragon (エア・ドラゴン, ea・doragon?) is a type of dragon that has extremely large wings and a body size more compact than that of other dragons. This allows them to soar through the skies faster than any other dragon on Elicoor II.
Air Dragons have a relatively short lifespan for a dragon race, and mostly live only two to three centuries, although some rare individuals have been known to live for almost 1000 years.
They are also sentient, capable of speech and are quite bothered when people assume otherwise.

- Many types of creatures have been called dragons over the years, but in general, the word refers to a large reptilian creature that has evolved wings from its clavicle or shoulder blades. Most of them are little more than giant lizards, but some types are depicted as possessing high intelligence and wielding a unique form of dragon-lore magic. Such dragons often have a habit of hoarding gold and silver, using them as bedding for their giant bellies- not because they are greedy, but because such metals' high thermal conductivity helps mitigate the overheating their bodies are prone to. Many dragons have a "breath sac," a unique internal organ that decomposes the animal matter that the dragon consumes and turns it into flammable methane gas. This gas can then be injected into the dragon's mouth, accumulating in a bone cavity under its nostrils. Rapidly exhaling the methane while gnashing its sharp teeth to create sparks allowing the dragon to breathe powerful fire from its mouth, an attack unique to this family of creatures.
