-Sidewinders-
Anatomy
Sidewinders are long snake like dragons, covered in foot long spikes that can retract into them. They are technically dragons, but are considered shape shifters. They also have the ability to spit acid, the liquid rather corrosive and effective against metals. Their scales and spiny protrusions are very tough and not very flexible, difficult to penetrate. Their faces, a lot of the head and along the backs are the mostly armoured parts. These dragons communicate through humming noises, and vibrations, however learn other forms of communication and hunting/fighting by hearing or observing.
Life cycle
Sidewinders, need to be in sulfuric acid to hatch from their eggs, because of how thick the shell is. When they hatch, they only have two wings instead of four. They gain their 2 other pairs of wings around the age of 5. They gain the ability to change the colors of their scales around the age of 1, gaining their spikes a few weeks later, and shoot fireballs at the age of 2. After reaching the age of 1, they start rapidly growing until around the age of 10. Some sidewinders are born with a birth defect that allows them to manipulate and absorb energy. One side effect of it is that they never stop growing until they die, Sidewinders with the birth defect usually only have a lifespan of around 10,000 years. Normal Sidewinders live up to the age of 100,000.
Important notes
-There's very few of them left, because they are hunted for their tough hide.
-The only known Sidewinders right now are Shade and Faygo.
