![]() ![]() For most dragons, the color of their eyes and hide matched with Fírnen and Shruikan being notable exceptions to this rule. Glaedr himself said that in the wild, the "females were so formidable, it was considered among the bonded dragons a great achievement to mate with one". Females tended to be more aggressive, vain, as well as larger and stronger than males: Saphira often called herself the "most beautiful creature in all of Alagaësia", as well as attacking Glaedr when he decided not to mate with her. The wings were the weakest part of their body, composed of only a thin membrane of flesh (Saphira often had holes punched in them once her wards failed). ![]() Their scales were very strong, capable of deflecting arrows, even on the underbelly. This also was a reason that made wild dragons view their bonded brethren as being too complacent, while dragons bonded to Riders saw their wild kin as brash, proud and arrogant.ĭragon eggs tended to be the same color as the dragon's scales, as did the color of their Rider's magic. Only the most cunning wild dragons could communicate through telepathically spoken words or chose to this was a barrier between the wild and bonded dragons that was a result of their pact with elves and humans. Wild dragons communicated much the same way, but used smells, images, sounds, tastes and feelings to communicate. As such, unless they spoke directly to another person, most bonded dragons had their Riders speak on their behalf after voicing their opinion to their Rider. Also according to Brom, the origins of dragons lay with Alagaesia itself and they have no foreseeable end.ĭragons communicated by thought skilled telepaths, they, specifically those bonded to riders, could speak mentally, though it was considered rude to communicate with another Rider's dragon unless in emergency or with permission. ![]() They were connected to the land in strange ways, ways that sometimes even they could not control. According to Brom, dragons could grow to be "larger than most houses" and some older dragons could be confused with large hills. Their color varied from dragon to dragon. The dragons of Alagaësia were reptilian, with scales, sharp teeth, four legs, bat-like membraned wings and a tongue that was covered with hooked barbs.They developed the ability to breathe fire as they matured, usually around 6 months of age, which was about the same tie they grew old enough to mate. However, unbeknownst to everyone, there were still eggs and free Eldunari in existence, hidden on the island of Vroengard, the ancient home of the Riders. There are very few dragons left in Alagaesia, thanks to the terrible genocide instigated by the Dragon Rider Galbatorix in his bid to become the all-powerful king of Alagaesia. While most roamed free and did not commonly associate with the civilizations of other races, a significant number were the mounts and life-long companions of the Dragon Riders. Dragons were an ancient race of sentient creatures native to the land of Alagaësia. ![]()
