Longwing
Physical Description:
Longwings are dragons that are around 20 feet long with wings 40 feet long. They look tall but are really only double to triple a horses height. They can be any color in the rainbow and all the colors in between, but only one color. So like, only red, or only blue, no, orange and blue, or green and black. Their entire body and eyes also seem to take on the same color. You can tell what color the dragon is going to be even when it is still in its egg since their eggs match their color. They have talons or spikes on their back, neck, and tail that are paler version of their main color. They have two serrated fangs that jut out of their upper jaw and onto their lower jaw slightly. Of course, they have super sharp teeth like almost all dragons. They also have four cheek spines, curved or slightly curved horns, and forehead spines between the horns. Males horns are longer than females horns. Females heads are usually triangular while males heads are usually broader and blockier. They usually reach their full size by the age of ten, though some seem to get slightly taller and such.
Typical Behaviour:
Longwings are intelligent dragons. Once they learn something, they never seem to forget it. They also act like they are higher creatures than most, holding their heads up high and so forth. They are very protective of their offspring, especially when said offspring can't take care of their selves yet. Once they get a rider, they seem to treat that rider with equality but at the same time, like a young dragon and will talk down to their rider if they feel her or she is being immature. Thanks to their remembrance, they are quite easy to hold grudges. Just like how protective of their offspring they are, they are equally protective of their rider and will protect he or she until the death. Females can be very vain, and when others praise them for their beauty or power, will usually give almost of a purr of thanks before acting more vain and almost like royalty. In the wild, they tend to stay away from humans, and will usually try to scare off any other dragons before they attack. They would rather not fight, but if needed will. Once a Longwing does go on attack they don't stop til the other gives up or dies.
Abilities:
Drawbacks:
Training Methods:
Since Longwings are very intelligent creatures, you have to show them that you know something they don't. They like learning new things and most vikings use that to their advantage. You can also try the opposite approach at the beginning, and not know something that is vital to your survival, making them take pity in you and help. You have to be soft with the dragons and should not raise a hand or weapon to them. They will never trust you if you do and will most likely leave, no matter how far you think you got with them. They are sort of easy to bribe and if you bring them their favorite food, will take a liking to you much quicker. Their trust is the most vital thing you need to have before you even think about being able to touch them, let along ride them. Once you have it, they are basically yours.
Habitat:
The highest peaks of the mountaintops. Usually in groups of 3-4, this can consist of mix genders, the parents and some offspring, all males, or all females. They like to find caves that they can all comfortably in.
Diet: Highly carnivorous. Will eat anything that walks on land. Usually prefer mountain goats/boars. Fish are last basis type of thing.

Abilities:
- Flame is orange yellow, but when angered can turn blue or white.
- One long firestream can go on for about two minutes, but then they are out.
- Fireballs are a common fighting technique, and they can average from 10-12 of those.
- They can use their talons, or teeth to fight as well.
- Their namesake makes them fast dragons that can fly for quite a long time.
- Even if their wings get wet, they can still swim, though only on the surface of water, seeming to glide across it using their feet to paddle.
Drawbacks:
- Males are usually less aerodynamic than females because of their bulkiness. But where they lack in aerodynamics, they thrive with their strength. Like mentioned before, females are more aerodynamic than males, but this means that their strength is slightly weaker thanks to a more feminine and less blocky body.
- Whichever color they are, is the color they see more vividly. Green dragons see green more vividly, red see red, black see black, white see white, blue see blue, etc. This counts as a drawback since with some colors being dulled, some can mix together and they wouldn't be able to differentiate very easily.
- Their size, makes it difficult for them to fit in small areas. If they can't fit their body, they will try and fit their head.
- If their wings get wet, become too heavy and make them not able to fly.
