Revision as of 17:45, 30 December 2013
Dragon Sub-Types refer to specific classifications of dragons based on body type, location and other morphological features. There are many different classifications, and sub-classifications, that all dragons are grouped by. Some dragons may be grouped in multiple classifications and sub-classifications, as is the case with the Two-headed Lindwurm which is both a Two-headed dragon and a Lindwurm.
The Sub-Types have been defined throughout culture and mythology, and in culture from games such as Dungeons & Dragons. The Dragonology Book by Ernest Drake has provided many of the basic sub-types for this wiki.
Major edits to this page should first be discussed in the talk page. Do not make considerable edits to format and information without consent.
Amphipteres
The Amphiptere has the body of a serpent, from head to tail. It also has a pair of wings behind its neck, where forelimbs might be found on a quadruped, but the amphiptere possess no other limbs of any sort. They may have feathered wings, resembling a bird's, or typical bat-like wings.

DC - Drakes
File:576px-Nuvola apps important yellow.svg.png | Note
Dovealove (creator of the first Drake - Ochredrake) only changed to "Drak" when people thought "Drake" couldn't be used. (TJ's comment on the forums) And since this whole "Drak vs. Drake" (← link to suggestion topic on the forums) matter caused a lot of confusion, we will now refer to them as "DC Drakes" on the wiki until further notice. |
DC - Drakes are a type of dragon unique to Dragon Cave. They tend to be smaller than most dragons, about the size of a dog. Unlike other dragons, they are not sapient or as smart. They have antlers, tend to be very calm unless bred to be otherwise and do not talk. They are shown to be more tame and easily trained. Dovealove, the creator of the first Draks, took the 'e' off to avoid confusion with the term as used elsewhere, although the description on the site has not been changed. Draks can only breed with other draks.

Eastern Dragons
These dragons have long serpentine bodies and four legs, and though they lack wings most depictions claim they can fly. Unlike Western dragons, Eastern Dragons are portrayed as benevolent to mankind. They originate from Asian culture and usually symbolize balance.

Leviathans
Leviathans are a class of aquatic dragons, sometimes known as Sea Serpents, with some similarities to Amphitheres and Lindwyrms. Most are finned and adapted for underwater life, generally remaining in the water for their entire life. Some aquatic dragons are even capable of surviving out of water for a limited time span.

Pygmies
Pygmies are a specific type of breed known for their small build which resembles the size of a cat. There exist many different kinds of Pygmies. Most of these dragons will have "Pygmy" in their name somewhere. Pygmies are only able to breed with other Pygmies and Pumpkin Dragons. Pygmy eggs are one of the few eggs that can resist the bite of Vampire Dragons.
Two-headed Dragons
Two-headed dragons can only breed with other Two-Headed dragons (or lindwurms in the case of the Two-headed Lindwurm).
Western Dragons
This is basically the classical dragon. They have four legs and wings, and are typically quadrupedal. Most species in the cave are European style dragons.
Wyverns
These look mostly like western dragons, with one key difference: they have no front legs/arms. Usually more bird like in appearance, they have only back legs and wings.
Dragon Sub-Types not featured on the site
Faeries
Faerie dragons (alternatively Fairy or Fae) are magical dragons with wings that are often insect like. They are typically small in size.
Examples: There are no Fairy dragons on Dragon Cave yet.
Wyrms
These are more like large snakes with very thick bodies, which (usually) have no limbs at all. They are sometimes shown with snake-like heads, sometimes more draconic.
Examples: There are no Wyrms on Dragon Cave yet.
Non-Dragons
Leetles
Egg only, automatically frozen. Different sprites appear at different times of the year and events.
