The Dracius (plural Dracii) is a species of draconian, casquehead lizards native to the planet Rokans. They are one of the two races created by the Rokain God of Fire, Volks, and one of the three races that form the Flayre Faction, the other two being humans and the Rokain Liios.

Appearance

Dracii are rather large, bipedal creatures that usually reaching heights of 14 feet. Their bodies are covered by thick scales of varying shades of red, orange, or brown. They have large crests shaped like casques on their heads, with males having slightly larger crests than females. Males also have additional crests running down their backs and on their tails, which females lack. They have relatively large mouths, which have saw-like teeth on their upper jaws. They have white or yellow stripes on their upper lips. They have another stripe of the same color along either side of their body, which runs from their eye to their leg. In addition to this, they also have black stripes on their flanks (and dorsal crests in the case of males). They have sharp claws on both their hands and their feet. They have tails several feet in length, which have black stripes. Their tails are capable of having blades at or near the tip of them.

Physiology

Dracii are autotomous creatures, capable of detaching their tails as a defense mechanism and regenerating them.

Abilities

Because Dracii are individuals of the Flayre Faction, they have a strong affinity toward the element of Fire. As such, they are commonly known to be pyroimperists. They have a natural resistance to fire and heat. They are capable of swimming in lava for moderately long periods of time. It is rumored that their gaze is capable of turning their targets to stone, although there is no evidence to confirm this. Following the split of the supercontinent Nenhygas, it's possible for them to have strong affinities to one of the other five prominent elements of the planet (Earth, Wind, Water, Light, or Darkness), and have the corresponding ability as a result. Any other abilities they may have varies from individual to individual.

Evolution

Winged Dracii

The Winged Dracii subspecies arose at some point after the split of Nenhygas, and seems to only occur within Dracii classified as Plasma-Flayre. They are slightly smaller than regular Dracii, only reaching heights of 9 feet. Their scales have a slight tint of green. Their most notable feature is a pair of wings of moderate size, from which they have gotten their name. This subspecies is capable of moving considerably faster than normal Dracii, and because of their wings, they also have greater mobility.
