Hi guys. It's dragon dmonday I decided.

Here's a full party's worth of facts! This turned out much longer than expected!

Horsea line: The Horsea line, believe it or not, are classified are ray-fin fish! Their closest relative is Dragalge, to no one's surprise, however. Genetic research on the Horsea line shows that Horsea and Seadra have dormant gene characteristics of Dragon-types, as well as portions of DNA coding for the Poison typing; they, however, lack complete genes for the Poison typing, and are only expressed in Seadra, for some reason. At any rate, the Dragon genes activate when they're exposed to Dragon Scales, which also triggers their evolution into Kingdra! They're the first Pokemon where this type of gene expression was observed, but certainly won't be the last! Horsea feed on algar and whatever small crustaceans and plankton they can get in their snouts. Seadra and Kingdra, however, are far more aggressive with hunting. Seadra will paralyze prey by stabbing them with their poisonous spines, but both Seadra and Kingdra will disorient and trap prey with whirlpools! This entire line are VERY sensitive to water conditions, especially temperature and purity. If their water is polluted or too cold, they can very easily get sick. Kingdra need LOTS of water to thrive, and the entire line prefers calm waters. Branched corals is also REQUIRED for their habitats, especially for Horsea and Seadra, because they latch onto branches when sleeping and resting! Calcium is also very very important for Seadra in order to keep their spines healthy. It's important to keep in mind that all members of this line spit ink when threatened. Even though it's nontoxic, it can stain skin and fabric if it's not removed quickly (and believe me, it is ANNOYING to clean). Seadra spines can also paralyze you temporarily, posing a threat for swimmers. Their poison acts very quickly. ALSO, both Seadra and Kingdra can, as stated, generate whirlpools.

Gible line: Garchomp currently are thought to share a common ancestor with Sharpedo. Though Garchomp are terrestrial and limbed, they do, in fact, have similarly-arranged scales, modified fins, and, most importantly, a skeleton made of cartilage! Members of the Gible line also shed their teeth periodically, also like Sharpedo! This line is VERY carnivorous; Garchomp are apex predators that will hunt anything that encroaches on their territory, even fast birdmon! They also hoard Carbink, however, they don't eat them. They also LOVE Yache berries, though they're hard to find in their natural habitats. These Pokemon can be difficult to raise, because they're notorious for being unruly and disobedient. They prefer warm, dry climates. Gabite in particular love shiny objects like coins and other trinkets, giving them to a Gabite is a good way to get them to warm up to you. Gible are also very clumsy, and can't walk far without stumbling. They also like to hide in alcoves and wall indents. On the other hand, Garchomp prefer wide, open spaces where they can roam freely. To put it bluntly, this line is dangerous and NOT recommended for beginning trainers. Gible are the least threatening of the line, but even they bite without much rhyme or reason. Territorial Gabite visciously defend their treasure hoards from anyone that even comes moderately near them. Garchomp are rare in the wild, but they are also very aggressive and can fly at Mach speeds. Bringing Yache berries and/or a well-strengthened team is highly recommended when going through a Garchomp's territory.

Jangmo-o line: Kommo-o are wingless draconians like Drampa and Haxorus! Their bipedal stances and tough armor suggest a closer relationship with the latter, however. While Haxorus tend to dwell near rivers and other sources of flowing water, Kommo-o prefer dry, barren habitats. Their weaponized scales are a very interesting adaptation; scientists believe that they may have initially developed to protect these Pokemon from harsh environmental conditions, before expanding to fill OTHER roles! Things like sexual selection might've also played a role in their evolution, as mates have been observed to assess one another upon scale quality and sturdiness! All members of this line are omnivorous. They aren't picky eaters, either, because food is scarce where they dwell naturally. They hunt smaller mammals, birds, and reptiles for meat and salvage what few leaves and berries they can find for plant matter. Jangmo-o are social creatures that have a very hard time training on their own. Though they may try to appear content in solitude, they're far happier with company! Hakamo-o, on the other hand, frequently venture out alone to find sparring partners; they love to battle new opponents and get bored of fighting the same few. Kommo-o are mostly self-sufficient, however, they get upset if they are kept from fighting foes they believe are worthy. Because Jangmo-o live so far from humans, most people don't encounter them often. They are very protective of their groups, and will stand together if a member is threatened. Adventurous Hakamo-o may come across travelers on their search for opponents, and may try to initiate fights, but will walk away if their foes appear unwlling. Kommo-o do not bother those who back away when they approach, however they take someone remaining unmoving as a threat.

Axew line: Haxorus are one of a few known draconians that are entirely wingless during all stages of development, the other two being the aforementioned Kommo-o and Drampa. At first, people theorized they had lost the ability of flight over the course of evolution, but newer evidence seems to support the idea that Haxorus may in fact have diverged from the lineage before wings were developed. Thus, scientists have classified it in its own family. This new data also suggests that Haxorus are the most primitive of the draconians, a distinction that once belonged to the non-Dragon-type Charizard. All members of this line are omnivorous! They use their tusks to crack open hard nuts and berries, while Haxorus may also cut down trees so they (and other smaller Pokemon) can access the fruit. They also hunt smaller mammals, and are known to lick dirt to obtain minerals. Surprisingly, for a three-stage Dragon-type, the Axew line are rather easy to train! Axew are docile and not shy towards strangers. Haxorus are benevolent towards weaker creatures, which includes humans. The most likely to be unruly are Fraxure, but even then, they can be kept content if provided stones to sharpen their tusks with. Axew and Haxorus also enjoy whetting their tusks to keep them sharp! All members of this family are territorial, but only Fraxure will attack intruders. Axew and Haxorus both let intruders pass as long as they don't cause trouble. These guys VERY clearly mark the boundaries of their land with slashes on tree trunks, making it easy for trainers to avoid their territory. Though they're not aggressive, Haxorus CAN go on destructive rampages when angered, and trainers should always treat them with caution and respect.

Bagon line: Salamence are related to Charizard and Hydreigon. Bagon are famous for their burning desire to fly; scientists believe that this innate longing encourages them to seek out the cliffs and ledges that they'll need upon evolution, since Salamence lay their eggs deep within caverns where there's little room to fly. Pop culture spread that it's this desire that causes them to sprout wings upon evolution, but in reality, there's little evidence to support this. Salamence are also a popular figure in Kalosian folklore! Bagon don't eat much, they're often too busy launching themselves off of cliffs to try to fly. When they do eat, however, they settle for whatever they can find. Shelgon don't eat at all. Salamence take down large prey like Loudred and Donphan from the air. Bagon require high ledges to jump from more than anything else. They will search for these areas before even looking for food or water! Hardy Shelgon can survive in most habitats, but should be kept away from deeper water. Salamence, despite being territorial, are quite easy to keep happy in captivity! As long as they have easy access to an open sky to soar through, they're content spending their days aloft in the wind. Honestly, the biggest danger Bagon pose to humans results from their frequent dives from above. They don't pay attention to what's beneath them before they leap from cliffs and can severely injure unsuspecting travelers below. Salamence are, as mentioned, extremely territorial, and angered individuals will rampage about, spewing fire as they go. Inexperienced trainers should not, under any circumstances, try to confront an angered Salamence.

And finally... Tyrunt line: Tyrantrum are perhaps one of the most famous Pokemon to no longer exist in the wild today. This popularity has translated into an abundance of research on the species, making them one of the most well-studied fossil Pokemon that have been discovered thus far! Their stubby forelimbs were once thought to be vestigial, but further studies show they were actually used to hold on to struggling prey! Unfortunately, scientists are still unsure what caused their extinction. Tyrantrum are apex predators, hunting anything they please. Tyrunt, however, are entirely helpless on their own, and wait for their parents to bring back food. They'll throw massive tantrums if they dislike what they recieve, however. Tyrunt are so difficult to care for that it's ridiculous. They're extremely finicky and will throw fits if they dislike their food, become uncomfortable, or generally feel displeased. They should not be raised with smaller Pokemon because of their reckless "playing", as well. Trainers that give in to their demands often report that their Pokemon are "ungrateful" at best when appeased. Tyrantrum hate being bossed around and can be disobedient when upset, but they're NOWHERE near as difficult are their pre-evos. Since these guys have been extinct in the wild for ages, trainers will luckily only ever encounter them under the command of other trainers. Even a trained Tyrunt shouldn't be approached, they're notoriously disobedient and love to bite strangers. While wild Tyrantrum would be a very, very grave danger, they don't pose much of an issue when trained. It also might be reassuring to know that you, reading this, can run faster than a chasing Tyrantrum.
