- Races: Frostwings (ice), Pyroclasts (lava/fire), Tidescales (water), Stormclaws (lightning), Galecrests (Wind), and Geotalons (earth/gem)
- Force Sensitivity: All
Frostwings (Ice):
- Ice Manipulation: Control over ice and snow.
- Camouflage: Blend into icy environments.
- Lava Manipulation: Control over lava and volcanic activity.
- Heat Resistance: Impervious to extreme heat and fire.

- Enhanced Durability: Their rock-like scales provide exceptional physical defense against attacks.
- Wind Manipulation: Control over wind and air currents.
- Aerial Agility: Exceptional flyers with high maneuverability.
Frostwings (Ice):
- Heat Vulnerability: Weakened by extreme heat.
- Limited Mobility: Slower in warm climates.
- Water Vulnerability: Weakened by water and cold environments.
- Slow Movement: Large size reduces speed.
- Dehydration: Weakened without access to water.
- Limited Land Mobility: Less agile on land.
- Grounding: Vulnerable to grounding attacks.
- Unstable Powers: Electric abilities can be unpredictable.
- Heavy Build: Slower due to their mass.
- Limited Range: Their earth-based abilities are less effective in environments with little to no solid ground, such as open water or air.
- Ground Combat: Less effective on the ground.
- Weak Against Earth: Vulnerable to earth-based attacks.
- Diet: Omnivore. Draconis diet prefrences vary by subtype:
- Frostwings: Large mammals, frozen prey.

- Stormclaws: Large birds, mammals.
- Geostones: Minerals, large creatures.
- Galecrests: Small to medium animals, birds.
- Communication: Telepathy and oration. Roars, body language, elemental signaling. Their vocalizations, known as Dragon Song, consist of guttural and wailing sounds, similar to the melodic, haunting calls used by large aquatic mammals for communication over long distances. These sounds can vary in pitch and duration, creating complex and resonant melodies.

- Activities: Hunting, patrolling territories, engaging in elemental displays.
- Nocturnal/Diurnal: Activity patterns vary by subtype (e.g., Tidescales are active day and night, Stormclaws are more active during storms).
The Draconis species, often referred to as dragons, are ancient beings deeply woven into the history and mythology of Centerra. Believed to be descendants of powerful elemental spirits, Draconis subtypes adapted to various environments, giving rise to Frostwings, Pyroclasts, Tidescales, Stormclaws, Galecrests, and Geostones. Throughout history, they have been revered as guardians of nature's forces, playing crucial roles in shaping the planet's landscapes and ecosystems. Rare interbreeding among subtypes has led to the emergence of hybrid Draconis, further enriching their lore and mystique.
