Primal Dragons

Primal Dragon Classification Information Meta Information Primal Dragons, also referred to as Draco divinus, are the highest subspecies of the dragon species, they are ultimate conceptual entities who are the embodiment and direct representation of different core concepts of the world itself, as a result they are often labelled as deities by many cultures.

Primal Dragons are superior creatures who were responsible for the creation of the monster species and the monster-nature concept; they take different roles as creators, destructors, guardians, etcetera. Although they have their own hierarchy, different power levels and many unique traits among each other, one thing in common is how Primal Dragons are extremely powerful beings capable of leaving other high-ranking monsters and entities far behind with their overwhelming power and supreme authority.

Origins
Primal Dragons are mysterious and extremely unique anomalous entities, no civilization that existed post the fall of the ancient Kaverdic Empire appears to have kept a proper record regarding their origins due to their rareness.

The real origin of Primal Dragons is intrinsically related to the creation of all things, as they are the personification of certain core aspects of Kylorne, the oldest Primal Dragons are bound to be at least as old as time itself, with the first one transcending the concept of time. In reality, their origin relies on the first Primal Dragon, the representation of Creation, who was known as the great father of all monsters. He was a singularity formed out of pure energy, an entity who was present even before existence came to be for its creation, he was responsible for the birth of the original birth of the monster species and the concept of monster-nature as these two were brought to existence when he was born; this Primal Dragon was the one who allowed the rest to be born and is the real reason of their origin.

After the world of Kylorne was formed and starting evolving and developing, other Primal Dragons started to be born as the personifications of the most important concepts at the time. They were god-like entities that helped form Kylorne as it is and created many of the known monster species. When the world of Kylorne received the gift of life from Creation and the first sentient lifeforms started to form proper civilizations, Primal Dragons started to take different roles they wished to take, some of them decided to bless entire races and cultures with knowledge and magic, others would become guardians of different lands, and even some few would have more absolute roles carrying out the duties of their concepts; due to their different actions, the Primal Dragons were more famous individually than as a collective group, since most of them wouldn't just get along and refused to coexist aside each other, with constant fights among them that were so chaotic and destructive that terrified other superior beings that were considered deities.

Description
Primal Dragons are conceptual beings, meaning they are superior entities of existence who are the pillars of the world itself. They could be considered as unique original singularities: Divine entities that embody a core aspect of the world. Primal Dragons are the peak of the monster race with their incredibly pure monster-nature and great raw power which makes them absolutely terrifying. They are mostly known for being magical and spiritual creatures, having access to what is considered as original magic which allowed them to help mold, affect and dominate Kylorne.

Primal Dragons are not really a stage of evolution of the Dragon species, but the original variant that created the species as a whole. They are entities which are the personifications of concepts themselves, not being forced or limited by their material forms but deciding to take those physical forms to enforce their dominion over the world.

As they are such powerful creatures, they are considered to be great sources of power due to the immeasurable amount of magical energy they possess, even among the weakest of Primal Dragons, their magical auras are often compared to seas as their presence alone could affect entire regions if left uncontrolled.

Physical form
Every Primal Dragon is different from each other, hence why there is not a certain pattern of their physical form; nevertheless, most of them have kept a similar appearance that reassembles the ones of the rest of the dragon species: A reptilian-like creature with extremely hard scales and muscular bodies, fangs and claws, mostly having four main limbs that serve as arms and legs, and usually one or two pairs of wings.

One common aspect of most Primal Dragons is their size, at least in their original dragon form, most of them are massive, being anywhere from 50 to 300 meters (165 ft.-985 ft.) tall, although there are few exceptions as they are unique, and is technically a different case every Primal Dragon, counting with specimens of immeasurable dimensions or rather small size.

Unique evolution
Although Primal Dragons are all very powerful creatures, some of them are stronger than others due to their state of evolution. As every monster, Primal Dragons are capable of evolution in order to fully develop, being this the reason of why there is a hierarchy of strength or importance. A Primal Dragon won't change its dragon form or "grow" until it successfully evolves onto the next stage, developing stronger skills and obtaining way more power.

The line of evolution of a Primal Dragon varies for each individual, but it always starts with being a newborn and it ends up with becoming an Primordial Primal Dragon; there will always be multiple differences in how Primal Dragons evolve, some having a more extensive progress that happens very often and some others being able to make huge steps in evolution at a time but rarely happening or being extremely difficult to achieve.

Hierarchy
Amongst the Primal Dragons there is a hierarchy that is respected by all of them that was used in order to maintain the order. This hierarchy is intrinsically related to the stage of evolution and the individual power of each Primal Dragons but can be defined in the following ranks:

Primordial Primal Dragon ── The peak of all Primal Dragons, these are individuals have an unimaginable amount of power and authority over all other lifeforms including their peers from lower hierarchies. These Primal Dragons are the ones that are often referred to with the title of 'deities' as their concepts are not only "important" for the world of Kylorne, but actually necessary for it to exist, that is why not every Primal Dragon can reach this stage and there are only a few, most of them if not all of them were active since the very beginning of time itself. Primordial Primal Dragons are the oldest amongst all Primal Dragons and have by far surpassed the power levels of all other hierarchies of Primal Dragons. Due to their power, they are able to create and destroy a great amount of entire worlds with ease; dominate and rule over the macrocosm by subduing and exterminating other superior beings; permanently change, remove or create laws and planes of reality itself as they wish to; etcetera.

Monarch Primal Dragon ── The highest point most Primal Dragons can reach due to the limitations of their concepts. If a Monarch Primal Dragon unleashed all of its power, it would be able to destroy the entire world at once, they are so strong that they are usually able to take on an Ancient Primal dragon without too many difficulties. A Monarch Primal Dragon reaches this stage of evolution by asserting the dominance of its concept over others through subjugating a numerous amount of other Primal Dragons and divine beings throughout its life, due to this they are normally around fifty thousand years old or older.

Ancient Primal Dragon ── Specimens that have lived for over fifteen thousand years and have devoured the power of many other high ranking monsters and entities, therefore having evolved past the stage of a fully mature Primal Dragon. They are stronger than the average Primal Dragon, being able to take on multiple Adult Primal Dragons and having enough destructive power to wipe out multiple continents or even an entire moon and other celestial bodies of similar characteristics.

Adult Primal Dragon ── A fully grown Primal Dragon that has entered adulthood. They are basically the "average" Primal Dragon, which starts to partake a role in keeping the balance of Kylorne by performing the duties that their chosen role has whether it is as a creator, a destroyer, a guardian, or others. Their power is already on the peak of the monster kind, being able to erase an entire continent out of the map by using all of their might at once and affect entire regions with their presence.

Juvenile Primal Dragon ── A juvenile Primal Dragon is the lowest hierarchy existent among them and it covers their stages as a newborn all the way up to right before entering adulthood. Juvenile Primal Dragons will stop growing physically and getting stronger at a certain point, up to where they are finally able to become a fully mature Primal Dragon through their evolution. They normally do not take any serious roles in keeping the balance of the world and would rather focus on devouring as much as they can in order to grow up the fastest in order to keep up with their stronger peers and finding a territory of their own for them to rule and settle down. In terms of power, after moving on from being a newborn, most of them can already wipe out an average developed medium sized nation.

Birth
The natural birth of a Primal Dragon is one of the most rare events that has only happened a handful times.

As conceptual beings, a Primal Dragon's existence is related to a core concept of the world, they're ultimate entities made out of pure monster-nature and magical energy, a Primal Dragon is formed for the first time when a concept evolves in the world of Kylorne and gains a certain level importance which then makes this concept a core-part of existence, when this happens a Primal Dragon is formed somewhere in the world as the concept takes a physical form for the first time; this event is usually easily noticeable in a global scale due to the immense amount of energy the birth of a Primal Dragon produces.

After a Primal Dragon is born, they already possess great skills such as longevity, yet the majority of them aren't fully immortal right away, meaning that they could be slain as it has happened before, mostly during fights among Primal Dragons themselves. When a Primal Dragon dies, the concept they represented isn't destroyed or anything similar, but a new Primal Dragon is born somewhere else to become the new embodiment of that exact same concept, this new being inherits some of its predecessor's memories but is in a technical aspect a different individual.

There are few exceptions which are very few Primal Dragons who have evolved to the point of obtaining not only full immortality but an actual state of eternity, essentially becoming absolute entities, these specimens cannot die or be killed by using any methods and are the strongest among Primal Dragons.

Primal Dragon of Creation
Primal Dragon of Creation File:PrimalDragon2.jpg The Progenitor of Monsters The first Primal Dragon, also known as "The Progenitor", is an entity beyond reality and logic, he is the most powerful and evolved of the Primal Dragons alongside his younger sister. Being one of the representations of Existence itself and its creation, this Primal Dragon is mostly a mystery to the modern civilizations and is only known through the mentions that other Primal Dragons have made about him in the past. His current status is unknown, it is theorized that he is still active and just chooses not to show himself to the earthly realm as he barely cares about the mortal world and leaves the maintenance of its balance to the younger ones. He is the oldest and greatest Primal Dragon.

Due to the lack of information about The Progenitor, other civilizations and cultures label him as a mythological creature that only serves as a religious image. Whose existence is most likely just a myth.

Vanheda Shadowstorm
Vanheda Shadowstorm The second oldest Primal Dragon that there is record of, Vanheda Shadowstorm. An infamous Primal Dragon known for representing and being the embodiment of Destruction, often referred as Primal Dragon of Chaos, especially for bringing countless civilizations to their doomsdays alongside other Primal Dragons to their deaths, having fought countless battles and taking part in numerous conflicts of great scale throughout the different eras of the world.

In the known folklore of the whole species, she was the only Primal Dragon to be able to compete with The Progenitor in terms of raw power, being capable of opposing him, fight him by herself without help and even of winning a decent amount of these encounters; Vanheda was on the same level of evolution and authority since she was the direct counterpart of her brother, as the Primal Dragon of Chaos and Destruction, being one of the few that addressed him as a "sibling" instead of a "progenitor".

Vanheda represented inexistence and destruction: The end of all cycles. She was the greatest destructor and ironically brought order to the world with her chaos, helping maintain Kylorne on perfect balance. Vanheda was more influential in the earthly realms and was labeled as an eternal entity that was worshipped as a deity due to her great feats in battle and her labor as a destructor, she also was the adoptive older sister of Endoru Shadowstorm.

Paarthusiaxx
Paarthusiaxx Paarthusiaxx of the White Fields, represents Emptiness, Vacuum and the Void; example of total opposition to the representation of Matter, Magic and Mana. He was never seen as a deity, due to his rare appearances and lack of active abilities, instead relying almost exclusively on his passive negation abilities. He was known for his skirmishes with an as of yet, unknown Primal Dragon of Magic, causing no destruction at all however; this happened due to his innate ability to simply negate all and any magical abilities of his foe, causing the effects of spells to simply disappear once cast in his presence.

Paarthusiaxx disappeared after his last battle near the highly northern state of Yaggaras around two centuries before the new era of Kylorne. There is allegedly a descendant of Paarthusiaxx living in the continent of Wruthos in Kylorne, who inherited some of his powers, however exactly whom is as of yet unknown to the public.
