The **dragons** ([[languages:classical-airumali|Classical Âirumâli]]: //lař//) are a species of six-legged, blue-blooded, psionically powerful reptiloid fliers, similar in appearance to Western dragons. Usually 70' (21 m) long, dragons have lived on [[systems:enaara:daia:start|Daia]] for 313 million years. Their immense [[psionics:start|psionic]] (and sometimes also magical) power have led some to theorize that dragons were sent by the [[planets:safir|safir]] from their [[planets:safir:origins|ancient homeworld]] to terraform Daia. Nowadays, dragons often spend most of their adult lives hibernating, though a surprising number are skilled enough in [[:psionics:psychometabolism|psychometabolism]] to assume safiroid forms, or reduce their basal metabolic rate to the point where hibernation is no longer necessary.
