Dreadwing

[Biology]
Biological Classification

  • Kingdom: Animalia
  • Class: Reptilia
  • Genus: Terror Vester
  • Common name: Dreadwing
Description

Gigantic winged pseudo-draconian reptilians of oviparous reproduction. The study of some Dreadwings specimens have revealed that they are sentient and capable of gesture based communication, like many domesticated animals.

Scientists from every Major Power are studying the Dreadwings. While they have not yet agreed on where these new creatures originated, the scientists have determined that Dreadwings evolved naturally. They don't bear the markers of a lab-grown monstrosity.

Physical Features

Full grown adults measure on average 5 ½ meters at the shoulder and over 20 meters nose to tail. 
Hardened and highly energy resistant skin (which makes them resilient to laser weaponry), with possible high concentrations of ferrite and crystal and strong muscles. In their head, they have four boned horns of great hardness, containing some undetermined element that allows them to channel powerful electric shocks. Strong jaws with painful razor-teeth. Four extremities finished in powerful claws, armored wings that allow them a limited flight of low maneuver (their short agility in flight turn them vulnerable to missile attacks) and a long thorny tail.

The way in which their bodies conduct the energy unleashed through their horns is not known yet. However, the reports indicates the adult Dreadwings can project a energy ray over a kilometer.

Reproduction

As true oviparous, the fertilization is internal and the female lays eggs containing zygotes with a certain quantify of yolk to feed the embryo while it remains in the egg and afterward, as a hatching. 

History

Droch'ah had enslaved and holding their eggs and young hostage assured the Dreadwing staying subject to his war plans. Dreadwings developed a great distrust and animosity against the humanity, since Droch'ah used his human thralls as overseers to these creatures, thus they were fearful and aggressive toward humans. Either they couldn't understand the division of those working for and those fighting against Droch'ah or they didn't care. Their hatred of humans is rooted in their enslavement. While they were freed by the Mercenary Clans in 3314, they still are wary of humans and keep away from any contact for the most part.
