The Euthoran dragon (Drakine drák or dráki) is a race of sapient, carnivorous reptiles descended from Skyking Shyr and native to Euthora. A group of Euthoran dragons is known as a flight. They have no relation to dragons of other worlds, with the possible exception of dragons from Deveron.

Abilities

Burst Mode

Burst Mode, also known as Hypos, is a combat "technique" of sorts inherent in Euthoran dragons. It is commonly referred to as a form change, as the dragon nearly always goes through drastic physical changes that can vary wildly between individuals. It is chiefly characterized by a sharp increase in fighting capability, whether it be augmented strength, speed, or powers and abilities.

Burst Mode is triggered by a surge of Excess through the dragon's system, usually when pressed hard in battle, and tends to be "unlocked" after the dragon is at least a century old. After initial access to Burst Mode, it tends to be easier to trigger, with long periods of needing to "recharge" between triggers. Burst Mode lasts up to several hours, depending on how long the dragon in question needs it, and it can take up to two days for the dragon to regain the energy spent, depending on how long the dragon was in Burst Mode.

In Cult of Ustream canon, dragons may have access to a form called Advanced Formation if they are given a Stone of Advancing, a stone-like shed scale from the Golden Firedrake Draco Maxima. This is not true Burst Mode, but rather a "medium" between a dragon's normal form and its Burst Mode. It requires less energy to trigger (seeing as the Stone of Advancing is providing much of the Excess needed) and requires less of a cooldown time, at about three hours. It can be considered as something to condition the dragon to the changes involved and often will result in the dragon unlocking Burst Mode early.

Glider

Gliders are long, serpentine dragons with four wings and two arms. They are believed to never land, instead diving at the water's surface to fish or soaring on their massive wings when at rest. Gliders can easily reach more than seventy feet in length, with their wings spreading much farther. The reason for their four wings is the different "modes" of flight they take; active flight involves doing the main flying with the larger, primary wings, and steering with the smaller secondary wings. Passive flight, used while the dragon sleeps or rests, involves spreading out all four wings like a massive kite, keeping one area of the brain alert enough to maintain altitude. This method of flight earns Gliders their name; one may soar for almost an entire day without a single flap of its wings. Examples of this class of dragon are the Icestorm and Coralwing Gliders.

Lurker

Lurkers are lithe, wingless dragons with semi-aquatic features. Common features for this class of dragon are narrow, almond-shaped heads with short crests, dorsal and caudal fins, and talonless paws with three toes and a dewclaw. They are extremely agile and fact runners; one species of Lurker, the Voidwalker, is perhaps the fastest land-based predator on Euthora. Lurkers are also very strong swimmers, due to their fins, and tend to be solitary animals. Cave Lurkers, another species, spend more time in the water than out of it, having adapted more to an aquatic lifestyle while other Lurkers prefer to be terrestrial.
