** The common dragons (Cerian: ''cólifuni cépota''; Chl.: ''ñarikaṃšūs'' "mountain dragon") are closer to our prototypical dragons, but far smaller; they look like big lizards with wings, but they're roughly as tall as humans and are actually smaller than ''kaṃšūve''. They, however, have arms and hands (but not the extendable arms of ''kaṃšūve''), something which makes them capable of building better tools. Like the ''kaṃšūve'', they are also able to breathe underwater. They inhabit the higher latitudes (above 45ºN) in the northern hemisphere, between Evandor and Púríton; their dens are very common across the hills and mountains in the arctic wilderness (taiga and tundra) of Holenagika and northern Púríton; human civilization has made them much rarer farther south. They are also found in high altitude areas in mountains across Evandor and Márusúturon, as far south and east as the Camipāṇḍa range.

** The dry dragons (Cerian: ''émérósin cépota'' or ''nušučuácu'' (from the Spocian name); Chl.: ''chlebakaṃšūs'' "sand dragon"; Spocian: ''nułč'waqv''') are the biggest dragon species, inhabiting the dry steppes and deserts of northern and central Védren as well as northern-central Fárásen. They are almost like giant worms, about 9 meters long, usually brown or dark gray, and with a scaled body. They have humanlike arms and mostly live in underground caves; while not loving human contact, there are populations around the areas where dry dragons live that have contact with them, and there are as such some humans that can speak the language of dry dragons: they are also highly praised in Spocian folklore and are important characters in many local fairytales.
