#1The Northern Glass Dragon is named so, not because it is actually glass but, because it is completely transparent. However, unlike glass, the body of the dragon is completely non-reflective making it nearly impossible to actually see it. Originally native to northern Europe, the extent of the Glass Dragon's habitat is currently unknown. There have been reports of them inhabiting every continent, though confirmation has proven difficult. A small number of magical powders can provide aid to those seeking the glass dragon (most powders and liquids fail to adhere to the dragon, due to the unusual nature of its hide). Additionally, on occasion one will catch a glimpse of the eye when the sun reflects off it, but few recognize it as such. Size varies wildly within this breed.
Little is known of the behavior of the Glass Dragon. They are noted primarily for causing people to trip. Usually when someone has tripped but cannot see any cause, it is due to the presence of a Glass Dragon. From the little data that exists on the breed, it has been concluded that they are one of the least aggressive and hostile breeds of dragon.
#2The Draconian Naiad is called such because when it all boils down, the definition of its name is derived off of the constellation Draco (dragon) and a naiad which is another name for a water nymph. Due to its name, you can probably already guess that this dragon is a sea creature and spends most of its time dwelling in its large lake. Its color blends in wonderfully with its surroundings so that its scales are practically mirror like in their pearly royal blue/black color.
Some is known of this breed, for it is the dragon equivalent of the Lochness monster. Much is guessed that the Draconian Naiad has features such as gills for many have camped out by the area that they had been spotted for days at a time, and it never surfaced for air. Contrary to what its name would suggest, there still is historical evidence that it was not a small breed but rather large. In texts, there have been legends that the Draconian Naiad once dwelled in the air as much as it did underneath the water, but after its species began to die down due to hunters killing them for their scales/hide (which they used mainly for armor due to its tough resistance and smoothness) the last of its kind disappeared beneath the surface and was rarely seen since..
Yet this dragon was spotted on rare occasions when it seemed as if the air above the lake would seem to ripple for a moment right before the dragon would appear from no where and plunge into the water without making even the tiniest of splashes. Wizards have done much research and studies to find that when looking back into books written ages ago, there was proof that the dragon had strange time/illusory powers. In descriptions of wars, when the Draconian Naiads were spotted flying overhead, odd time related things would happen such as if everything sped up so things went by much quicker. Only those trained in such magic would have been able to understand if it seemed as if the same things were happening. And they probably were because the Draconian Naiads were mischievous creatures who meddled in affairs that were not their own resulting in many different time lapses in history. These dragons could have traveled/cut through time without having it affect them and that was the most reasonable reason even the most educated people could think of for the mysterious appearings of the dragon randomly over the lake, as if it had flown through the air without being noticed until it chose for time to apply to it.
Overall, this dragon is not a menace to society unless they consider the lack of fish in their lake a problem.
#3 The Landfill Dragon, more commonly known as the Junk Beast or the Urban Lizard; dwells in the outskirts of large cities such as New York, Seattle, and Chicago. Its names are derived from its genetic make up, which consists mainly of scrap metal and discarded junk. For instance, its wings are composed of car doors while its eyes are made of nuts and bolts. It was said that the Urban Lizard was a creation of some teen, and, during an electrical storm the chemicals in its metal had a strange chemical reaction, bringing it to life.
The Landfill Dragon generally inhabits the landfills on the outskirts of town; there it burrows into the junk to create a den. Being roughly the size of a large house cat, the Junk Beast is able to slink through alleyways unnoticed in search of food. The diet of a Landfill Dragon mainly consists of trash, rubber, and an occasional unlucky pigeon. These beasts are not very dangerous; the only worry is of getting Tetanus from its rusty teeth.
