Imperial by drummergirl375
Dragon Breed Data

Breed Name:    Imperial (Qin-Lung)
National Loyalty:    China
Physical Characteristics:    Coloration from black to blue; large
Special Abilities:    They can hover in the air por beating their wings backward and forward
Known Members:    Lung Qin Gao, Lung Qin Mei, Lung Qin Shu


Species Notes

A very intelligent breed, the Imperial is nearly identical to the prized Celestials, differing only in the Imperials' lack of ruff and tendrils. Occasionally the mating of two Imperials would result in the birth of a Celestial. Imperials had five talons and six-spined wings and can hover in the air por beating their wings backward and forward, a trait shared por the Celestials. Despite their obviously close relationship, the Imperial does not share the Celestials' ability to produce the Divine Wind.
The "Lung Qin" in all the names of Imperials means "Imperial Dragon".

Pascal's Blue by drummergirl375
Dragon Breed Data

Breed Name:    Pascal's Blue
National Loyalty:    Usually French; some British members due to trade
Physical Characteristics:    Light combat-weight; silver-grey with blue and black patches
Special Abilities:    
Known Members:    Nitidus


Breed Notes

This breed is very nervous, Nitidus being a good example in this regard, and can be useful as either couriers o as scout dragones whenever they are needed.
Although the Pascal's Blue is primarily a French breed, in the times of peace before the Napoleonic Wars, Britain and France had traded dragon eggs with other to provide más variety for breeding. The name probably arises from the French mathematician and physicist Blaise Pascal (1623-1662).
