"A bit lazy, but this big guy is better then any horse or mut"


Nickname: Riapsid

Species: Rock Lizards, a basilisk-type dragon

Note-worthy traits:

-While Rock lizards are basilisks, they do not have the infamous 'stone gaze' that rarer species have. However, this species of basilisks have two note worthy toxic properties. They possess a venom in their mouths similar to some monitor lizards, which acts as a blood thinner, preventing blood cells from clotting, in addition to making the infected victim slowly gain exhaustion overtime until they drop unconscious. Additionally, they are one of the few basilisks with a breathe weapon. They can exhume a type of fire that burns off of a noxious chemical gas, doubling both as a stream of flames that can burn flesh without trouble, and leaving a lingering smoke that causes nausea, uncontrollable coughing, and the distorting of both vision and scent senses.

-Their forked tongues can pick up scent trails up to 9 miles away, and they can pin down that scent with near accuracy due to the nature of the tongue. (Think of it like a tuning fork.) They have fairly good vision, though in the dark instead of having illuminated eyes like most dragons, their eyes simply go dark, covered by a thin membrane that makes the eye appear entirely black. This membrane acts in a similar matter to those on a pit viper, which gives the eyes essentially heat-sensing vision, which effectively allows them to see in the dark, or at least, things in the dark.

-Their scales are about as strong as iron, sharply keeled and difficult to penetrate, with the exception of the belly. The paler scales on the lower half of the beast are just as vulnerable as human skin, unlike the rest of their scales. Their tails have a sharp tip that can impale or slash flesh, and if they miss that in a tail whip, there is still the rest of the long muscular tail a typical target would have to avoid from having a rib shattered.

-They are as strong as they look, their claws are sharp and tough enough to essentially dig through stone, and they can burden great amounts of weight. With the average Adult weighed between 1 and 2 tons, they can carry almost 150% their body weight. And can grow up to 26 feet in length. Their jaw strength is strong enough to leave dents in moderately strong metals like iron, including teeth marks. Their slightly long necks have a snake-like design, and they can strike as fast as a rattlesnake and have a reach of 2 meters. However their bite is more like a gila monster, not letting go of their target and injecting as much as venom as they can (since the venom lies in the saliva rather then the teeth, the process is slower then the typical process.), or may even try to rely on force, thrashing whatever their holding in their mouth around violently like a fierce lizard to tear apart their prey or try to simply crush and swallow slowly with great jaw pressure.

-Speed wise they can be pretty fast, the average Rock lizard can sprint up to 35 mph, however they lack the same endurance as a horse, so such sprints are short lived. They only rivaling them at a walking speed for distance. They can however, maneuver over many surfaces. They are fairly good swimmers (Though there isn't a lot of places to swim today), and they can scale almost any wall almost as easily as walking on a flat surface. Large trees, flat rocky walls, bumpy walls, and terrain that would normally be unsuitable for most mounts can be traversed.

Flaws of the species and the disadvantages of owning one:

-Being cold-blooded, they should be kept very warm under the occasional cold desert nights

-They tend to be lethargic, especially during mid-day, when they love to sun bathe. Even a well trained Rock Lizard might ignore commands for the sake of its own laziness.

-Many dragons can bond with tamers, however most, like the Rock Lizard, only really bond with a single person, which means any other person is considered food to them, or at the very least something it has no concern with. This means that they should be taken under precaution when entering a town or being with anyone else, as they may try to snag one or two innocent civilians in their diet.

-Their breathe weapon's toxic gas is difficult to direct, and while the dragon itself is immune, the rider isn't so fortunate.

-They may get distracted by the sight of prey, while it can be easy to try and teach them not eat people, it is more challenging to train them not to chase coyotes or a stray demon. In pursuit this can potentially put both the rider and the dragon at risk.

-tend to eat and drink alot, so their upkeep is expensive. They may also steal some provisions if you don't keep your eye on them

I finished the mutation category of the dragon post, and tweaked it a bit for the notes you left me. Also before I make the second character I wanted to introduce the mount he has first to see your thoughts.

Oh, alright. Because what I thought was Tracer can basically land 100% shots in all conditions even if the target is moving like crazy. Magic curving bullets = headshots all day, ya know? But since you elaborated a bit more, now I'm fine with it. Accepted.

Alright, now that my character is accepted and I just aced my interview for my new job I will start working on a post. It might take a while as I read the past posts to get a feel for how this universe works and how people are acting with NPCs and others.
