SPIRIT DRAGON, THE

The Spirit Dragon in its spiritual form appears as a small orb of light and energy just before it manifests into this form and just before it returns to the soul of the person it inhabits. Spirit Dragons do not have any real territory. They live in the spirit of a person, where they obtain the necessary energy to live. When a person dies they move to a new spirit. In their manifested form Spirit Dragons appear as large dragons with brilliant blue scales.

Appearance:
Well, Spirit Dragons have no appearance in their true form. However, in their manifested form they appear as large dragons with brilliant blue scales. Their underside is covered in lighter blue scales. Their wings are the brilliant blue of their bodies except that they are trimmed in a deep purple. The crest of their head, the brow of their eyes, and a strip down their muzzle is a firey red. The last three inches of their tail is a deep crimson. Spirit Dragons stand about 6.5 till 7 peds tall. They are about 5 peds wide, and they are between 8 and 8.5 peds long. Their eyes are a multitude of colors ranging from the darkest brown to the lightest blue. They have sharp teeth, but these serve no real purpose.
The Spirit Dragon in its spiritual form appears as a small orb of light and energy just before it manifests into this form and just before it returns to the soul of the person it inhabits (see Territory for more details). These creatures do not die as long as they inhabit a soul. However, if they remain outside of a person’s soul long enough they will die. This length of time varies, but on average it is a period of supposedly one human year.

Special Abilities:
The Spirit Dragon is able to withstand drastic temperature changes and dangerous amounts of energy in their spiritual form because in this form they are nothing but heat, energy, and light. It is concievable that one could actually survive outside a being's spirit if they were to live in an area with high amounts of energy. In its manifested form, its hide will turn most any weapon making it a perfect ally in battle (Note: Spirit Dragons only fight directly when it is for a cause such as the protection of the world they live in). They grant the person they inhabit enhanced strength and speed along with the wisdom and knowledge that they have collected over their seemingly infinite life.

Territory:
Spirit Dragons do not have any real territory. They live in the spirit of a person, where they obtain the necessary energy to live. When a person dies they move to a new spirit.

Habitat/Behaviour:
These creatures seek to find answers to three main questions. 1.) Why do some people treasure life so much? 2.) Why do other creatures seek to destroy that life? 3.) What is this life that these creatures treasure or destroy?

Origin:
The Spirit Dragons' origin is unknown. However, it is believed that they came into existence when some of the people with the strongest souls were born. Actually, it commonly is believed that they are the remaining energies of the spirits of those souls believed to have concieved them.
