Dragons

Serus, Lord of Bane

Mundus RPG has two types of dragons. The first type is the wurm dragon, which is the european style dragon, and the second type is the serpent dragon, which is the Asian style dragon. Both dragon types have similar behavior and their main difference is their appearance. Also, wurm dragons tend to be noticeably stronger whereas serpent dragons are more agile and they possess a mythical ability to fly without having wings.

In Mundus RPG dragons are a sentient race and they should not be confused with a traditional RPG monster just guarding a treasure in her cave. Just like few other sentient “animal” races, dragons are able to take a humanoid form after they reach maturity (or if they are born in their human form). When a dragon takes her humanoid form for the first time, the humanoid form usually takes a heavy influence from the people the dragon has seen. For example, if the dragon has lived in Tentaika she is very likely to look like a Tentaikan in her human form.

Dragons rarely have their own communities and instead they tend to blend in to human/cero/sedeum communities.  As dragons are usually intelligent, very powerful and nigh immortal they tend to rise to important positions if they wish to. In fact, there are many dragons as lords and ladies. Few of the more notable ones are Serus, Lord of Bane; Kiyohime, Lady of Revenge; Bakunawa, Lady of Eclipse and Murleus, Lord of Chasms.

Each dragon also has an element which she can change her genki into. Dragons also receive a bonus into their ritualism skill with rituals of their element. Their scale color also reflects their element. These elements include fire, ice, lightning, shadow etc. You can find more about dragons, their character creation modules and their elements in the upcoming Mundus RPG core rule book.
