INTRINSIC ABILITIES

mhNjRBe.png
A R M O R C O R E:
Possessing a singular genetic trait bestowed upon them by the one and only Domina Prime, these once dwindling lifeforms on the edge of extinction by assimilating The Devil Gene from Prime, the newest generation of these dragon-like creatures have adapted to their new genetic re-engineering with incredible progress! New Dovahdrakes have inherited a single most important trait from their Prime and that is the highly advanced armored scale platting that covers a majority of the lifeforms hulking structure leaving very little in terms of 'soft spots' to be exploited! Much like Domina Primes exoskeleton, The armored scales of Dovahdrakes possess special minerals within them that make them highly resistant to any kind of heat or plasma, only seen to be scuffed with charcoal-like smears after contact with lightsabers or even turbo blasters and occasionally damaged if continuously struck in the same spot repeatedly. The gem-like minerals found in the outer exoskeleton however are EVEN MORE purified within the very bone structure of the dragonkin, being highly crystallized and have mutated into every facet of the Dovadrakes. Claws, teeth, talons, even the wing spires it sprouts as a defense during flight. All made of the same crystal-like material that bares an incredibly striking resemblance to Kyber crystals. All and all, this makes these Dragonborn creatures incredibly durable and sturdy! A reliable Warmount for any true Mandalorian who believes they are worthy of The Manda and a true successor to the image of The Mandalorian People since Mandalore The Ultimate. The mythical mythosuar who has not been rode into battle in countless generations.

I G N I T I O N:
Oppressive destruction ignited with a spark, Dovahdrakes like many species similar to their basic code harbors biology so complex and incredibly focused and flawlessly evolved for mass destruction that the inner core of these stardragons is extremely radioactive and genetically designed to breathe fire so intense it is believed to be ten times more powerful than turboblasters. Scholars speculate about much, but none have baffled scientist more than the crystallized biology capable of generating and maintaining organic nuclear fusion. Between being able to breathe flames capable of scorching even Beskar as if it were in a forge the crystal teeth of the creature also acts as an electrical superconductor which can cause her flames to become composed of ionized oxyacetylene which can cause massive electrical explosions upon impact, allowing the beast to not only completely decimate most forms of matter but also deliver charged ion blast that can cause great damage to electrical systems. It should be noted however that many of these abilities to breathe fire and electricity are coveted and practiced my Dovadrakes over the course of their entire lives. Most young dragons can barely breathe fire in the first years of their lives. In fact, a large percentage, nearly 70% cannot even consistency breathe these things even as full adults. A large majority of Dovah from when they are hatchlings to by the time they are adolescents will only be able to produce an acidic-like saliva mixed with chemicals in their stomach in order to spit a venom capable of melting through even the most powerful of metals at a rapid pace! The only known exceptions being alchmiszed sith steel, Beskar, Songsteel and other special materials.

S T A R D I V E R S:
Since the obliteration of their world and the enslaving of their protector species The Dravala who once worshiped them as mighty spirits and paid tribute to them these mighty, majestic creatures have been reduced to little more than the trophy skulls adorning the walls of hunters or pets locked in a cage with their wings clipped. In order to survive the loss of their planet as well as the relentless hunting for their precious scales by the Trandoshans, Dovahdrakes adapted into hive-like collective swarms who traveled in schools of up to one hundred within the cold of the void. Becoming nomadic by nature these beings over the course of many years after making contact with Lifeform 18 evolved the ability to use their radioactive crystal cores to naturally produce cosmic dust which could be metabolized into hypermatter fuel allowing a Dovadrake Swarm to open Simu-tunnels and allowing them to enter hyperspace and travel at lightspeed across the stars. Utilizing this trait Dovadrakes fully committed to their nomadic lifestyle, only occasionally visiting planets and their moons for hunting game, nesting purposes, or swarm recreational activities such as planetary frolicking just to bask in the radiance of a beutiful world before the Dovahdrake Swarm continues their eternal pilgrimage across the stars.

E V O L V E D:
Deadly claws capable of shredding through the hauls of ships and the mighty structures of buildings, jaws strong enough to smash beskar and a body mass with enough weight, armor, and power to completely barrel through even the most sturdy of structures these evolved Warbeast have spent nearly thirty years hibernating within the heart of a dead, hollowed moon slowly perfecting the nature of their new design in a chrysalis cocoon state until the entire Dovahdrake collective had finished their long slumber. Since escaping after the fall of TITAN after being genetically overhauled by the mysterious Hive Prime Lifeform 18

S K Y D A N C E R S:
Within the biology of the lifeform appears a highly sensitive collection of gravitational resistant cells that fully functions as natural repulsor-lifts within the dragons bodies. These repulsors allow the Dovahdrakes to either alleviate resistance of gravity on their weight and even manipulate their own mass to maximize the distance between a jump so that it can be extended drastically just before flight. Even allowing pivoting and changing directions when in high speeds much easier when ones weight and gravity are no longer working against it. This, combined with the dragons natural ability to fly making them highly elusive and extremely difficult to keep up with yet alone catch. Able to slow down, accelerate, turn and complete complex areial menuvers on a dime these Warmounts are more than capable of going toe to toe with most fighters and thanks to their space faring abilities can take the fight to orbit for those who think they can escape the wrath of the dragon.

WEAKNESSES & FLAWS

F2dSrjb.png
H I V E B O R N: While certainly perceived as a blessing to the near-extinct Dovahdrakes being assimilated into Domina Prime's thought collective have granted the beasts abilities that are both remarkable and highly dangerous. While Prime possesses the ability to link and adjoin other organisms into its ever growing colony the links between the queen and its hive are so powerful that the Dovahdrakes will evolve and grow in accordance to the more they will become reliant on their queen for continued survival outside of their own whims and desires. The death or severe injury of Prime can cause MASSIVE devastation throughout the ENTIRE remainder of the species, completely sending them into a frenzy capable of destroying themselves. Anything linked to Prime will suffer immensely should Domina Prime come under harm, distress, or worst of all death. This effect is only further amplified with the bonds a Dovahdrake makes in it's life. For example, Dovah found as eggs by humanoids naturally end up forming an intrinsic hive-like bond with it's master. For example a Mandalorian who claims a Dovahdrake egg and raises it as its pet, and then later warmount will form a bond so strong that should death befall the Mandalorian it will send the Drake into a depressed spiral into suicide due to the potency of the Hive Link.

F2dSrjb.png
F R O S T B U R N: Since the genetic code of the creatures received an Overhaul from their Prime they have too inherited some of their Queens greatest flaws. A trade off for their ability to essentially become fireproof is their inherent dislike for the cold and wet environments of certain worlds. The frigid cold does multiple things to their biology, one of which is concentrated cyro damage to the hardened surface of their scales can cause their incredible strength to weaken and thus shatter like glass, leaving wounds open and exposed as a soft-spot for attack. Additionally, being trapped within the cold can also temporarily disable or cause their ability to breathe highly powerful energized blast which makes it highly effective against them.

F2dSrjb.png
D R A G O N F L I G H T: One of the best methods to taking down a Dovahdrake as proven by Trandoshan Hunters and Pirates obsessed with their treasures. The ideal tools for the job according to those with a Dovah skull decorating their walls to prove it is harpoons, a lot of rope, and sonic weapons in order to weaken and disable the beast. Denying the creature its air superiority appears to be the most effective method of taking the beast down. Anti air slugs and artillery, Tow Cables, Harpoon Tethers and Sonic Rounds all have been documented as the most valauble methods to taking down a fully grown Dovahdrake yet along their younger, smaller counterparts.

F2dSrjb.png
D E V I L G E N E: Don't let their evolved genetic perfection fool you. Despite being forcibly genetically re-written from nearly the ground up by a young Domina Prime one must not forget the basic instincts and primitive desires of the Xeno Queen. The single trait both valued and despised is Dominas unrelenting desire to hunt, claw, rip and tear for the sheer delight and pleasure of doing so. Making them highly antagonistic throughout the galaxy and now as if the gods are playing tricks have given Domina an outlet to bestow not only her power upon, but her hopes and dreams as well. These barbaric creatures, love them or hate them, are now vessels of Primes will, any anyone who is familiar with Prime knows just how unruly and uncontrollable she can be. Warmasters who dare take these magnificent creatures as their chosen battle bond to take into battle sign an unwritten agreement in blood. That wherever they shall go, carnage and devastation will almost almost follow. Failure to comply with a Dovadrakes basic instinct to fight, kill and destroy will almost always result in bad, incompatible pairings with Warmasters & their Dragonmounts~


F2dSrjb.png
U N C H A I N E D: These creatures are...simply put. Incredibly large and demanding species and even before the loss of their planet introducing them into zoos initially were incredibly daunting task. Young drakes are violent and restless, biting chewing and clawing at the metal bars of their containment while elders were even more unruly to deal with. And now, with their evolution they have only become even more ferocious than before. The mere sight of a Dovahdrake in certain areas of space is enough to put multiple planets into high alert for a potential attack. Large vessels will often deny them entry onto their ships for transport and some planets who have become familiar with their new behavior and destructive nature have outright banned their presence and will actively hunt and kill Dovahdrake even if they are bonded to a Warmaster. The mere threat of wild Dovah either solo hunting or ESPECIALLY in a swarm causes enough problems which are more than commonfolk are willing to deal with, limiting their ability to appear most places even where they might even be initially welcomed.

F2dSrjb.png
W A S H O U T: Within many of the cells Dovahdrakes are incredibly similar to Domina primes! A collection of extremely potent highly sensitive gravitational lifts that allow the creature to move about its environment with maximum efficiency despite its massive size and lumbering weight. These cells however appear extremely sensitive to high amounts of water. If submerged, a Dovadrakes ability to maneuver is clearly stunted as the cells flare and weaken, making it difficult for the lifeform to move as easily and making them immensely heavy as their repulsion cells fail after the vents within its scales become drowned. Because of this, ocean worlds such as Kimono or planets with extreme weather conditions can cause Dovahdrakes to cease their most basic functions such as flight and therefore grounding them if used against them properly.

CULTURE & BELIEFS

Diet: Dovahdrakes being ever the deadly predators it is no surprise that Scientist are often baffled by thr lifeforms ability to rapidly adapt to its environment. Nomadic by nature and and sharing much in common with their Queen Domina Prime these creatures almost exclusively eat and devour living creatures. Hunting by air, ground and even sea via dive-fishing into the surface of water in order to snatch prey from the depths of the ocean. The bigger the prey, the more satisfying the kill and even greater the feast. Operating as both swarm hunters or solo killers from above it is not beyond Dovahdrakes to kill prey several times their size. From Acklay, Nexu, Rancors to Kryat Dragons. Given just how massive the elder Dovadrakes can get a single fully grown Dovah can grab a Rancor and fly them to the peak of a mighty mountain to feed their young. Capable of carrying several tons more their own weight into the clouds above, devouring the meat in peace and then within the same fleight will drop the corpse back to earth leaving a crater of carnage and gore in their wake.

Communication: While a vast majority of the remaining species is semi-sentient and thus lacks the ability to fully imitate language due to their inability to preform speech. However, what Dovahdrakes do possess is an extremely complex hive-mind mental link that allows the Swarm to communicate over incredibly long distances in order to coordinate with the collective. This communication makes them natural born hunters as they utilize body highly aggressive body language, audio cues such as clicks, chitters and audible shrills in order to establish pecking order dominance within the swarm. Though it is regularly accepted by the remnants of the species that dominance is almost always granted to the eldest and most physically developed Dovahdrakes who tend to tower above the others standing at a recorded max of 150m. It should also be noted that this mental link can be formed with other species, most notably the bonds whom Dovadrakes form with their potential Soulbonds. The most successful bonds tend to be formed before a Dovadrake is even hatched from their egg. The warmth and touch of a humanoid slowly creating an electromagnetic link between the two which only becomes more potent the longer a Dovah remains in close proximity to its Bond. Granting riders who manage to tame and pacify young hatchlings an eternal bond that only ends in death itself. Establishing such bonds with fully grown or even adolescent Dovahdrakes have been known to be incredibly unsuccessful.

Technology level: Due to being feral, primitive creatures the concept of technology is all but foreign to them. Aside from a basic understanding that technology is used to hunt, kill, and interfere with their lives and thus endangers The Swarm things such as large ships, cruisers, militaristic and civilian transport as the largest threat to their survival especially with the amount of accidents that tend to take place during Hyperspace travel as Dovadrakes will often end up colliding with starships while in hyperlane paths.

Religion/Beliefs: These genetically re-engineered Warbeast have had purpose re-ignited within their blood as the will of Prime has given them new direction as the hive now seeks eternal delight through the sweet domination, conquest and sheer devastation brought upon lesser lifeforms. While once they hid away in the far corners of the cosmic expanse since their newfound power they have been much more antagonistic. Sometimes gathering in their massive swarms just to attack random planets either populated with humanoids and their civilizations or populated with jungles and all manner of beasts just so they may reign fire upon their prey. Much like their progenitor Domina Prime, they seek to further perfect their evolution and devouring powerful species in their glorious hunts to return the assimilated genetic code to their beloved Prime Queen Domina Prime Domina Prime .

General behavior: Incredibly violent and impulsive creatures by design the Dovadrake have been primarily perceived by the lager galaxy as barbaric beasts that were better off on the edge of extinction. Even before their sudden rapid evolution these creatures were hunted for their precious gems and scales as well as imprisoned as exotic pets clipped of their wings and freedom. Needless to say the dragonkin never did shake the chip off their shoulder and has been spending the last ten years coming out of hiding almost exclusively to reek havoc upon the galaxy in a sort of justified vengeance programmed into their very plasma. Vindictive and vengeful by their very nature and seeking constant stimulation and excess, it is a wonder that these creatures found companionship at all! Though in their recent years of activity they have become rather fond of Mandalorians due to their unique relationship with the Grand Huntress and favored daughter of Manda Domina Prime Domina Prime , who has programmed into their instinctive design a friendly outlook on the Children of Manda, leaving many scholars and scientist to believe that some among the Warmongering Clans have managed to pacify and tame the wild beast despite no one having seen a Mandalorian ride upon one or claim ownership of a Dovahdrake. Leading to a large amount of confusing and inconsistent rumors~

HISTORICAL INFORMATION

The history of the Dovahdrakes cannot be discussed without first speaking of their descendants The Dravala. Many many years ago back when their homeworld was alive and flourishing the Dovahdrakes were considered loyal pets and defenders of The Dravala, a humanoid species who inherited many of their finer genetic traits and since their inception saw the Dovah as their ancestral spirits of sorts. Life on Solaris was lavish for these beast as they were offered tribute by their descendants and thrown great feast almost seasonally. These reverie and celebration of their name leading many of their kind to becoming complacent and docile, less focused on the defense of their homeworld and more so with the gifts and treasures they were receiving. Despite being mere animals, their intelligence had developed enough to where they understood they were essentially worshiped as gods by a species they regarded as distant cousins.

This complacency is what inevitably led to the invasion of their world through the cutthroat methods of maddened pirates obsessed with the ancient treasure troves of the Dravala and the Trandoshans, a reptile species that sought the slaughter of exotic lifeforms for the appeasement of their strange god. While a good fight was put up by the Dravala, their lack technological advancement put them many years behind their enemies as a vast majority of their dragonkin were either slaughtered by Trandoshans or sold into exotic galactic petting zoos while the Dravala were taken by pirates, robbed of their wealth and effectively sold into bondage by their conquerors.

And with the slow destruction of their once vibrant homeworld both The Dravala and the Dovahdrakes found themselves both in chains, teetering on the edge of extinction as the years passed and their populations dwindled to dangerous numbers. However, as if fate had intervened the very few remaining Dovahdrakes had managed to come under the ownership of a mysterious research station known as TITAN. A strange facility housing a vast collection of bizarre and extremely unnatural lifeforms. They had originally been purchased to conduct experiments on one of the facilities most prized Lifeforms whose study took up more than 70% of the research stations budget.

Attempts to stabilize and control a creature who at the time was known only as Lifeform 18 at the time. The Dovahdrake were essentially used as a test to see the full capabilities of 18's ability to devour, assimilate, and genetically evolve its own code in order to perfectly adapt to future threads and scenarios. Having spent the last several months feeding Lifeform 18 a vast collection of dangerous, extremely violent species of monsters and beast this was the test to see if they could not only evolve their own genetic blueprint, but alter the evolutionary path of OTHER species as well.

The project showed much promise in the proceeding years. The species rapidly developing incredibly powerful features and traits that previously had been foreign to them such as naturally developing organic repulsor-lifts within their bodies as well as crystallized bone fragments. It was eventually discovered however that this species was not only being tested by the scientist, but by the strange Nether Lifeform as well. Many of the starting traits and features developed by the dragons were soon re-tooled and recycled into an even more potent version that Lifeform 18 had tested on them, and then put into perfect practice themselves. And before the crisis could be contained The Facility came under siege by Mandalorians who were quick to clean up shop and slaughter most of the researchers upon discovering what they were doing hidden out in deep space.

Unbeknownst to them however was a collection of about one thousand Dovahdrakes who, with their new evolved biology escaped into the cold void of space. Losing proximity to the creature that had granted them a hivemind to communicate though, these stardragons quickly discovered hollowed out moons and asteroids where they took shelter and remained hidden as they entered a chrysalis-like hibernation state.

And for nearly thirty whole years this is where they have remained. Multiplying SLOWLY within the hidden core of a dead moon, further evolving the genetic advantages given to them years ago and once fully developed had begun to seek the presence of their Hive Queen. For the last five years, this newly adapted species that had been hiding for the better park of three decades finally had awoken from their slumber and set out into the cosmic vastness hoping to seek out their Prime.

And after the recent maturity of Domina Prime with the sprouting of those large azure horns it was almost like drawing moth to a long lost flame. It would not be much longer now before these deadly dragons would be re-united with their Queen Mother. And since their renewal to the galaxy, many Dovahdrake seemed to have taken an instinctive liking to Mandalorian. Having a basc understanding of its culture and language due to the mental link between the dragons and Domina, whom was raised by Mandalorians and thus sees them as kin, effecting the way the dragons see them as well by indirectly influencing their primitive instincts.

Needless to say, anyone else unfortunate enough to come within these stardragons path don't often live to tell about it. For the last five years they have been causing absolute chaos in the outer rim, ever so slowly encroaching their way deeper into the galactic spotlight.

The link you have from Game of the Thrones goes to imgur and not an actual image source. Likewise your ESO link goes to tumblr and not an actual source.

Please link these images to their source or you may need to find new ones. Thanks!

I understand there was confusion surrounding this submission, however it’s been about 10 days without any changes here since you last checked in.

If you need more time on the images I can move this to pre-codex and you can resubmit this when you’re ready.

I’ll need to hear back from you within the next couple of days or I will be archiving the submission due to inactivity.
