There are three types of dragons. Wyverns have two legs and two large wings with a long tail for balance. Their features vary from species, but they all have the ability to breath fire. They are the most sought after mount and are considered the partner of nobility. They usually see use in supporting armies, scouting, spying, and if the wyvern is big enough and powerful enough, they can very rarely be used for sieges. Rarely grow big enough for siege use which is considered sixty feet long and bigger. Can live for one hundred and fifty years, sometimes longer if healthy enough. Komodos are essentially significantly larger lizards. Armored and slow, they are powerful diggers and usually used as siege mounts. They never stop growing and can become eighty feet long, but it comes at the cost of them being slower, tiring easier, and simply being harder to feed and care for. Can live for two hundred before it struggles without help. Lack fire breath. Lindwurms are serpentine creatures with two arms used for various purposes. They are significantly lighter, more nimble, and faster than drakes, but they are usually smaller, less durable, and less powerful. They sometimes grow big enough to ride, but are not expected to. They can grow to lengths of twenty feet but are usually no heavier than a warhorse. Usually are used for stealth or as a combat companion. Can live for fifty years or longer if healthy. Lack fire breath.
