Dragons

Dragons are a unique race of lizard-type creatures that includes many varieties. They are a native species to this planet and are a major focus of much of humanity's culture, military, economy. and religion. When humankind landed their Space Immigrant Ships on this planet, the only dragons they found roamed the fields and thought of nothing but filling their stomachs, in short, like beasts. However, ancient ruins showed an intelligent race of dragons, called Ryuujin or Dragon Gods.

Each species is different, but they over-all have a naturally volitional temperament, making them unpredictable and dangerous. Though a human showing affection and training them could achieve results to some extent, but there was never something like complete certainty. Even dragons that should have been domesticated for a long time could suddenly turn on you. Part of the problem was that it is not very clear how intelligent they are.

In Garbera the process of refining their bones as lead to creation of Dragonstone, enabling the creation of Airships.

In Mephius the state religion is based around the ancient Dragon Gods, while the modern dragons were selectively breed to act as weapons of war.
