Sea Dragons

Appearance
These dragons come in shades of green, blue, purple, and sometimes, rainbows! They are lightless, but their massive winglike fins allow them to swim with incredible speed. The have two additional fins on their tail, just below the base of the spine, as well as those at the tip of the tail itself; even their spines, ears, and feet are webbed. With their unusual gills, they can breathe both air and water.

Abilities
Sea dragons can manipulate water, creating small waves.

Habitats
Sea dragons live in the oceans of Aleria, having only a few territories on land. They prefer warmer, tropical waters abundant with fish, corals, and kelp forests. The islands which some choose to dwell on are susceptible to flooding and typhoons.

Culture
Sea dragons are naturally resourceful, and known for their colorful art, music and dance. They value family and community greatly, and believe in the importance of hospitality. They’ve created many ingenious methods of fishing and take pride in their ability to live in harmony with the sea in every aspect of life. Many will hire sea dragons as messengers or to deliver goods, since their speed in the water can reach double that of a dragon in the air. Their clothes, similar to that of pacific islanders, often consist of loincloths, skirts, wraps, cloaks, or shawls, and are made out of natural materials such as barkcloth and feathers and decorated with dyes and patterns. Most live underwater, in sea-caves or constructions of coral, but they have been known to make their homes from a much wider variety of materials if applicable, such as whale bones, rocks, reeds, and shells.
