Dragon (CTD)

Dragon Chimera are a type of Animate Chimera in the Dreaming.

Overview

Some say that dragons began as the racial memory of humanity's mammalian ancestors' encounters with dinosaurs, made flesh in the Dreaming. This origin might explain why dragons have changed as the human brain and society has evolved. Nearly every culture in human society had dragons in its Dream Realms. Of course, they also have their dragon-hunters. In recent times, chimerical dragons are smaller than they used to be, and the older ones are either dead or sleeping in the deepest cave-realms of the Dreaming. The sightings of larger dragons are few in modern times, even in areas of the Far Dreaming.

Dragons would almost be an endangered species, were it not for the dreams inspired by movies and animations. Even so, it is surprising how little chimerical dragons have changed in the last 200 years.

Types

The dragons of the East and West are fundamentally different and have variant dispositions, powers, and forms.
