Dragon:
A winged creature with the ability to breathe flame after chewing Firestone. Dragons were genetically engineered by the early settlers of Pern as a defense against the dangers of thread. The Dragonmen were bred as their keepers...
The dragon is hatched from a leathery egg that hardens close to time of birth. At hatching, the dragon chooses a lifemate and they become emotionally and telepathically bound to each other for the duration of their lives. If a rider dies, so does the dragon. The same can be said of the rider in most cases where the dragon passes first.
Pernese dragons have suede like hide... no scales. It requires oiling them frequently to keep their hide moist... from drying out. Sweet Oil is preferred, but any type of oil or grease would work.
