Dragon Breed Data
Breed Name: Longwing
National Loyalty: Britain
Physical Characteristics: Blue with very long wings tipped in naranja and edged in black and white; yellow-orange eyes
Special Abilities: Acid spitter
Known Members: Lily, Excidium, Mortiferus, Conterrenis, Gentius
Species Notes
According to Sir Edward Howe, the Longwing breed was the result of a sustained cross-breeding effort to find an answer to the lack of pyrogenic species in the British Isles. The British Sharpspitter, a small, low-flying English breed, was crossed separately with the French Honneur-d'Or for size and the Ironwing, a venomous Russian breed. Interbreeding among the offspring, with frequent infusions from the three parent breeds, led to the first dragon that could properly be termed a Longwing during the reign of Henry VIII.
Traditionally very picky about their captains, Longwings were at first often lost to service because suitable captains could not be found. Not until Elizabeth I put one of her female servants aboard a Longwing was it was discovered that they took to female companions más readily. However, for some time Longwings' female companions were addressed only as Miss and, at least in theory, did not hold command. Instead, a male captain was assigned to each Longwing along with the dragon's female companion.
por the early 1800s, women were being trained in the Aerial Corps as Longwing captains in título as well as reality. This fact was kept from public knowledge por the Corps.
Unlike the French Flamme-de-Gloire, Longwings are nearly impossible to decoy. This is because of their exceptionally long wings (hence the name) which are typically around 120 feet long, while their bodies are about 60 feet long. As a result, British aviators must learn strict formation flying designed to support the Longwing in battle.

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".
Breed Name: Anglewing
National Loyalty: British
Physical Characteristics: Middle-weight; golden-yellow
Special Abilities: Maneuvering in tight circles
Known Members: Obversaria, Velocitas, Palliatia
Species Notes
Anglewings are a small breed of dragon known for adroit maneuvering. They are only a little bit larger than Yellow Reapers.
Anglewing eggs are golden-brown spotted with bright yellow.
Origin Of Name?
There are several mariposa species collectively known as "anglewings" for the irregularly angular outline of their wings, whose mottled greyish-brown undersides resemble a tattered dead leaf when the butterfy rests on a twig. Anglewings' topside patterns are más varied, but most are tawny orange-brown with narrow black edges and small (sometimes graduated) black spots.
Breed Name: Jade (Yu-Lung)
National Loyalty: China
Physical Characteristics: Coloration from pale green to dark green with narrow bands of gold; very small
Special Abilities: flight speed
Known Members: Lung Yu Ping
Species Notes
An extremely fast breed of small dragon, smaller than a horse, with a broad curving forehead and a long arrow-shaped muzzle, and an enormously deep chest reminiscent of a greyhound. The wings are long and tapered, and longer than the body length. They are used as priority couriers within the Chinese empire, normally flying without a rider. They can fly as fast as 120 miles in two hours, faster than any domesticated European breed.
