 As the bones, teeth, and horns of dragons are very sturdy despite their light weight, bone may be carved into weaponry, jewelry, and decoration. Most commonly, horn is used to create bows, while bone is cut into arrowheads (teeth are also used for this purpose) and weapon grips, and may rarely be used as blade edging in place of metal. Bone is also a common material for sword sheathes. Lighter, thinner bones are used for rings, pendants, small decorative items, and other small objects such as flutes.
-Commonly referred to as '''Dragon Leather''', a dragon's hide underneath the scales is flexible and thick, difficult to cut and work, but makes efficient lightweight armor. It is often used in shields, armor, bandoliers and quivers to protect the wearer or the objects inside from heat and shallow-cutting attacks. Dragon leather is proe to superficial scrapes that can be buffed out without damaging the material.

 By far, the most famously coveted materials from dragons involve their scales. Left intact, dragonscale is common as decoration for the wealthy, can be made into jewelry, and can be sewn into clothing and decorative armor as a sign of status. As they are lightweight and easily attachable to cloth via the scale roots, it is common to see wealthy citizens of cities such as Tarik, Durasken wearing dragonscale in dresses, hats, and casual military apparel. Scales may also be used as an alternate form of currency due to their precious metal content- while the exchange rate fluctuates, it is noted as a single scale to 100 Gold at SCT.

 *Dragon embryos develop rapidly and are physically ready to hatch soon after the egg is laid. However, the egg may take much longer to hatch, as the infant uses much of this incubation time to allow its brain to sort through the species' inherent ancestral memory. During this process, the dragon's mind categorizes the information into instinct, subconscious knowledge, and true memories. The death of a living ancestor may further extend the incubation time as the ancestor's memories are added to the infant's source.
 ** It is for this reason that some lower-generation species, such as the Shadow Drake, take only a brief time to hatch.

	Dragon eggs are composed of dense calcium carbonate with a high metal content. When dragons hatch, they are often encouraged to consume the remains of their eggshells to give their scales a healthy start in growing. Newborn dragons are usually strong enough to break out of their eggs without help, but sometimes a parent is required to gently bite the egg to help crack it. Rarely, newly hatched dragons of the Firedrake or Pyrespine species may fall upon unhatched eggs in the nest and "ambush" their siblings by helping them hatch before immediately attacking them.

		+	Dragons are usually considered adults at 30 to 40 years old, depending on the species. As hatchlings, they grow in size quickly, but begin to taper off after their first decade of life. They mature mentally at a much younger age than humans- at a few months old, a hatchling will often be speaking in complete, coherent sentences, and it takes less than a decade for the typical adolescent dragon to be considered mentally and emotionally mature by human standards. Dragons are not known to die of old age and can reach centuries or even millennia of age. However, an ancient dragon will often grow tired and weak, leaving it vulnerable to attacks by rivals or hunters.

	It is rare for a dragon to teach other dragons a song it has created, keeping it hidden almost covetously. It is believed that dragons pour the whole of their being into music, making a dragon's song almost as personally valuable as its name.

-The [[Euthoran]] '''[[dragon]]''' ([[Drakine]] ''drák'' or ''dráki'', plural ''drákiu'') is a race of sapient, primarily  carnivorous reptiles descended from [[Skyking Shyr]] and native to Euthora. A group of Euthoran dragons is known as a '''flight''', with a few species-specific exceptions. More poetically, however, during the Radiant Era they may be known as a '''court''', and after the Dissonant Era during the Drei Timeline might rarely be called a '''revolution'''. A newborn dragon is known as a '''hatchling''' and adolescents may be referred to as '''fledglings'''; aside from this, males and females only have specific terms when nesting or rearing young, when they are known as '''sires''' and '''dames''' respectively. They have no relation to dragons of other worlds, with the possible exception of dragons from [[Deveron]]. Scientific names vary between species, families, and even infraorders, but all Euthoran dragons are members of the suborder Drakontes, in the order Squamata (scaled reptiles).

-Due to how Euthora categorizes its wildlife, dragons are considered to be either a [[Monster]], a race, or both depending on location on Euthora (although standardized definitions would merely classify them as paraorganisms). In general, [[Sulsian]] dragons are seen as both, though in the Dissonant Era are considered more of a Monster than a race due to racial tension and the [[Fyreborne War]] in [[Durasken]]. [[Acaranian]] dragons are viewed as elusive and powerful Monsters to be avoided, though there are rare exceptions, as Skyking Shyr is known to take residence on [[Aravolta Darz]] in [[Carisitai]]. [[Farixya]] is still ruled by [[Skyking Ausurath]] well into the Harmonic Era, and his kin is treated accordingly. Due to the nature of [[Ethanol]] and its inhabitants, dragons there are invariably seen as dangerous Monsters- and rightfully so, as the harsh conditions of the continent have driven the inhabitants (including dragons and [[Shapeshifters]]) to feral, territorial extremes.

 During the Reformative Era, this Monster-race split is still present, but dependent on species rather than location. [[Voidwalker]]s are the dominant species, and are unrelated to the other dragons in the era due to their natures- the [[Phasma]] is undead and all other species are created independently and not descended from Shyr. These other dragons are nonsapient, leaving the Voidwalker the last remaining sapient dragon species on Euthora.
