Valtorax

Genus: Draconidae
Representative: Valtorrax
Classification: Nocturnal apex predator

Morphology and anatomy:

Height at withers: about 2.7 m
Wingspan: estimated to be up to 12 meters
Weight: approximately 480–520 kg
Body structure: elongated, muscular, with pronounced aerodynamics and balance between mass and agility

The body is covered with short, dense fur of a dark blue, almost black color with a characteristic lunar tint. Illuminated areas reflect light with bluish highlights, creating the illusion of a shimmering silhouette in the night. The mane and tail feathers have a light feather-like structure. The limbs are muscular, with four clawed fingers adapted for both gripping and climbing or maneuvering in the air.

Wings:
The wings are the main biomechanical and visual advantage of T. Nocturnis. Their broad feather structure resembles the wings of birds of prey, but with a draconic massiveness. The feathers transition from dark, almost black, at the base to luminous silvery-white at the edges. This coloration acts as an element of camouflage and intimidation.

The loss of feathers in flight is natural and even strategically advantageous - they are dropped as “traps”, disorienting the enemy in the dark.
Skull and sense organs:
The skull is elongated, with powerful jaws. The horns are curved backwards, serving as heat-sensitive antennae and resonators for plasma blasts. The eyes have a tapetum (reflective film), which gives Valtorrax extraordinary night vision. There are cases where T. Nocturnis has been observed to detect movements at a distance of more than 500 m in complete darkness.

Flame characteristics:

Valtorrax, as a distinguished member of his species, possesses a rare form of breath weapon - volleys of deep indigo plasma flame. Rather than a continuous stream, it fires successive plasma bolts comparable to the pulses of a linear cannon.

Plasma properties:
• Temperature: over 3000°C
• Energy density: highly ionized substance capable of penetrating stone and metal.
