Skyking Shyr (full Drakine name Shyr Tiirenkári, English Jeweled King of the Sky) is a dragon of undefinable species and the ancestor of all Euthoran dragons. He was the first dragon to be granted the title of Skyking and is held in the highest regard- just below the Euthoran pantheon itself- by all races of Euthora. His deceased human partner was Isden Aliira.

Appearance
The first feature one usually notices about Shyr is the dazzling glimmer of his scales. While seeming to be truly white, they are iridescent and crystalline, reflecting light in every imaginable hue of color. This shimmering expanse is broken only by subtle black marhings on his wings and head, as well as small black spikes along his spine, and complemented by shimmering sapphire eyes. Shyr has a primarily quadrupedal gait, with his wings held for balance when he rises onto his hind legs. Like all "ancient" dragons (dragons not members of one of the modern species) Shyr's forelegs have an opposable dewclaw and his hind legs are perfectly capable of taking a bipedal stance for a short time.
Most of Shyr's absolutely massive length- fully three hundred feet at standard canon time- is his whiplike tail, though his neck also accounts for much of it as well. His wings are narrow compared to his overall size, but are entirely capable of sustained flight and have a span long enough to block out most of the sky. Shyr's wingspan has questionable dimensions, though judging by proportions seems to be around five hundred feet long.
Burst Mode
Personality
Shyr has a calm, tranquil demeanor, radiating a warmth and kindness almost unfitting for such a massive, powerful dragon. His eyes display a soft compassion for those he speaks with, his speech clearly shows his intelligence and confidence, and in times of trouble his determination and versatility shine through. He greatly values freedom, even going so far as to allow someone to insult him to his face without lifting a claw in retaliation. Shyr displays an amazing degree of patience with the races of Euthora, bearing no grudge against humans for a country's actions- such as Durasken's war on dragonkind- but still keeps a fairly low opinion on them for how racial interactions go throughout Euthora's history.
Relationships
Combat
Shyr tends to strongly dislike fighting and will avoid killing his foe whenever it is possible- leading to Koth Grimseeker and Skyking Súndávr being sealed away rather then vanquished and slain. However, he will fight if it proves beyond a doubt that words will not solve the conflict, and he will reluctantly deliver a mortal blow if his life, or the lives of Euthorans, are at stake.

- We are bound, you and I. Bound tighter than either of us could have imagined. ... It is strange, but it is not a bad feeling. It is something that instead I feel we may enjoy.
