Age Of Dragons: Main Page -> The Twelve Breeds -> Hunter Dragons


Nature, Red in Tooth and Claw

Dragons are animals. It is a truth that the other breeds often deny or choose to forget, but to the Hunter Dragons, it is a truth that is self-evident. They are aware that nature is a pyramid of predator and prey and they see that as Dragons, their place is at the head of the food chain.

Many other breeds often assume that because Hunters live as animals, they know no better, and that they lack the wit to adopt civilised ways. The Hunters know better - they have seen civilisation and they know that it makes dragons weak. They have seen the land poisoned and warped by those who espouse "progress" and they know that their way is better. Hunter Dragons point out that you only have to look at the blunt stubby claws and shortened teeth of the other breeds to recognise that their weak ways are doing them harm.

Hunters believe in survival of the fittest, and in living in the old ways. On the one hand, their ways can seem cruel - they will kill stunted and disfigured young, and they will leave the sick and crippled to fend for themselves. On the other hand, no-one can deny that the Hunters have a vibrancy of soul and a strength of form that few others can match.

"This is nature," they say, "red in tooth and claw. Hunt or be hunted."

Mark of the Predator - The claws and teeth of the Hunter Dragon are a good thirty to fifty percent longer than those of ordinary dragons, and are far sharper as well. Any unarmed claw or bite attack made by a Hunter Dragon has a -1 TN to the damage roll.

Tracker's Instinct - Hunter Dragons are (unsurprisingly) skilled at hunting, thanks to their enhanced sense of smell. Any rolls which involve their sense of smell are at -1 TN - this includes tracking and hunting their prey.
