History
Vitora Dragons originated when several species of dragons were brought to a realm called Vitora and crossbred and domesticated until the dragons started taking on human features like speech and love. The dragons came to depend completely on the humans. particularly at hatching and actually need a human or other intelligent being's telepathic coaxing to develop in their eggs.
In the egg
A newly laid Vitora egg is lifeless. The embryo lays dormant inside until a telepathic bond is formed with a candidate. Placed closer to water, the egg develops into a female and farther away from water are males. The unhatched dragons go through several color phases, starting with the green/violet phase then red/blue and silver/gold; not every dragon goes through them all. Each phase makes a dragon more and more attached to its bondmate, more humanlike, and less wild. This makes greens and violets stronger and golds and silvers more intelligent. Learn more about the colors.
The Hatchlings
Vitora dragons are born the size of large dogs. Their eyes are open, and they are quite active but cannot fly. At this stage all dragons of a certain color look alike. Hatchlings need about twenty hours of sleep and eat lots of fruit and eggs when they are awake.
Teens
Teen dragons, no matter what their color, usually like to spend their time with other dragons or intelligent creatures their own age. Their wings start to work, and they enjoy taking risks. The dragons are still very similar at this stage. The males and females start looking at each other differently. Teens grow at an alarming rate and need lots of grains and meat to keep them going.
Adults
Adults range in size from ten feet long to nearly thirty. Their personalities are developed and they can make their own decisions. At this point, some dragons develop unique colorations, depending on how well they're kept. Adults are completely faithful to their bondmates but also independent. They have their own preferences for foods and hobbies and decide whether or not they wish to choose a mate. Learn more about mating.
Abandoning
Vitora dragons can live without their bondmates but not without emotional scars. The death of a bondmate is usually easier to cope with than being abandoned by one. An abondoned dragon will often search for a new humanoid companion to help fill the void in its mind and heart.
