Dragon Biology: Theoretical Speculation Based on Known Information
Hey there! This thread is currently being rewritten. Don't worry, all the information that was on it still exists somewhere, but I'm attempting to start fresh and reduce the amount of work I have to do to maintain the BBCode formatting as well as frequently update when new breeds come out. I have decided to start organizing dragon breeds by their creators (or lack thereof) to ensure I don't have to constantly move information around the thread.

Ridgebacks are one of the top 3 biggest species right? Maybe there’s an ancestral reason they don’t like water...

Oh lord,what if they're from protecting themselves against a water anceint
(gargantuan legless flying leviathans pls flight rising i want them so bad)
