The dwyrdraegyn (dwirr-dray-gon) are the water dragons. They are mostly controlled by the naiads.

The dwyrdraegyns’ eyes are round and lavender, and their snouts are long with round ends. They do not have noticeable ears. Their heads are mostly white, with a pale lavender streak down their foreheads. The dwyrdraegyns’ bodies are smallish, around the size of a Great Dane, and they are of medium build. They are white with a pale lavender streak down their back. Their short legs and feet are of a medium thickness, and are a white color with pale lavender claws. Their tail is large, and about half as long as their body. It is whale-like, and white, with a pale lavender streak running down it. They have short fins that are white with pale lavender veins running through them.

The dwyrdraegyn are semi-sapient. They are able to breath and throw water. They are ridden by naiads, and used for battle. Most dwyrdraegyn are tamed, but the tamed rarely give birth. The untamed give birth to two young at a time, which hatch from lavender eggs. Dwyrdraegyn can live for up to one hundred years. Their call is an high pitched roar that can be hear for miles. They are protective, stubborn, somewhat grumpy, and can only be controlled by their rider.

The things I have outlined here are what is usually the case. It is possible for dwyrdraegyn to differ from this description. Those who do are either adored or shunned. If you have any questions about why I made them a certain way, ask away! It will help me to solidify them.

They sound so sweet and cute! And very lavender, which is an attractive color not mentioned much in fantasy works.

Wait, do they look like whales or do their tails look like whale tails?

It may be just me, but they sound like an evolutionary creature. However, I do like the lavender.

*warm fuzzy feelings*

HOW CUTE! I would love to meet one.

I have a few questions!

1. How are they tamed and trained?

2. What are their weaknesses?

3. What are they used for?

The naiads use them for mounts and battle.

I'll have to get back to you on the other questions.
