Line 31:
''Dragons'' are few and far between in Aivintian mythology. Tundris, a dragon with the features of a snowy owl, such as its feathers, beak, eyes, and face shape, appears as a sacred guardian spirit in the Children of the Spine mountains between Aivintis and Serdemia. Tundris served as a wise mentor to great heroes, and is strongly connected to the Griffins of the Spine. Gyldren is a dragon with firebreath as hot as a volcano and metallic gold scales that are said to shine like the sun when reflecting light. His scales are said to be impenetrable, and legends have him transforming into a human with fiery eyes, a flaming sword, and gold armor. Gyldren is said to guard a massive hoard of treasure as large as a mountain, buried deep underground in his lair, which he guards ferociously. Gyldren myths appear in Southern Aivintis, mostly, as far south as Marnacia and somtimes as far north as Wolfgard. Karo Vadas is a dragon with scales like night and ash, as large as a mountain, who blots out the sun when he flies. Karo Vadas is the oldest dragon myth in Aivintis, appearing as far back as the founding of the Lerasian Empire, in which he conquers Serdemia for the Emperor with his talons and teeth alone. Karo Vadas is fabled to have some vaguely defined magical powers, and also appears in some myths in human form, although that form is never described beyond hair as black as his scales.
