Reavurnen
Some information about Revurnen- Reavurnen are a species of creature that roams that of the world of Glaceoruss and their origin is unknown. They are more bird-esqe than dragon looking, Although they are related to neither of the two. They are their own being and their ancestors show no roots to dragons. They can fly and swim with ease and normally have four eyes but can have less. The antlers on their head grow more tines as they age and the amount of lash spines on their tail multiply as well. Females are normally bigger than males and have shorter antlers than them. Similar to wolves, this species used to form packs and has its alpha and omega. Since they are not dragon nor reptilian, they are live births and can give as many as 10 cubs in a clutch. New born normally do not open their eyes until 7 weeks and are very helpless. These creatures tend to use their antlers as a source of defense and will not back down to challenges. A rut (mating season) happens twice a year, once in spring, again in fall. The strongest male gets to pick his mate but also a female can fight for a male or go willingly. Sometimes if numbers are low, two groups will join together. Ironically this species is omnivorous and has a strong liking to fish. Most Reavurnen live in mountainous areas especially forest. The technology used by this species is very limited.

Specterbuilts and Trials
Specterbuilts are robotic dragons based on one of the five dragon species (meaning they do not come in reavurnen or mawhrtalon builds) These robots look almost identical to a living one and sometimes even have an actual soul. Empress Chance was the one who first coined the idea of making a fully robotic dragon military and force.
Trials are prototype versions of specterbuilts, and typically look more robotic than realistic. These bots are typically used for smaller jobs and aren't typically capable of autonomous thought.
Gearflayers
Dragons who follow Chance and perceive her as a god like figure may become Gearflayers. These dragons are 40%or more machine and convert themselves to heed the image of an “eternal life” as promised by Chance. Gearflayers usually stick together or among trials and specterbuilts. They refer to Chance as the Divinity of the apparatus. Most refer to her as the Gearbearer
