Dragons

Throughout the story, dragons have often been the greatest threat, rivals, and allies to the protagonist, due in part to their strong presence within the Great Elroe Labyrinth. It is suspected that there are four main varieties of dragons, each based on the four primary elements wind, water, fire, and earth. It has been implied that the respective power of the species may follow a similar order. Dragons aligned to other attributes such as light or ice are also known, although they might be rarer than the basic elements.

Earth dragons in particular have had a great impact in the story thanks to their presence in the Bottom and Lower strata of the Great Elroe Labyrinth. Most of our knowledge on wyrm evolution and skills is from the fire wyrms of the Middle Stratum.
