We're going to cram all the information about sea dragons into this thread, since there's no way to make sub sub boards.

The breeds of sea dragons are as follows:
Pearl (only two exist on the entire planet, one at each pole)
Abalones (most common, found throughout the oceans)
Pau'au (pronounce "po ah oh ah," live only in the tropics)
Gold (see Ancient Lore)
They do not breed across broods; no Golden Pau'aus, for example, or Pearl Abalones. They also are unlike their land counterparts, and do not interbreed with other species. There are no merdragons, no halfdragon, half octopus, etc. They breed strictly within their types, and are not monogamous. Much like Terran fish, sea dragons aren't terribly selective; for example, if a Pau'au sees another one and they're opposite genders, they mate, and go about their separate ways. The eggs are lain in a protective grotto and left to fend for themselves after they hatch.

All sea dragons are feral. They do not have a spoken language, no written history, no apparent ruling hierarchy, and no laws, other than natural laws of survival. They can communicate telepathically, but it's more like projecting images of ideas, wants and needs than words, thoughts, and theories. While very intelligent, they are relatively unaware of the nature of any land creature, Avian or land Dragon alike.
When interacting with other sea creatures, they are standoffish at best, and extremely territorial at worst. It's best not to tangle with a sea dragon unless you have specific business with them, and then you'd better be able to project and receive telepathic images if you want to communicate with them. Being feral, they are as ferocious as lions when angered, skilled as hunters like tigers, strong as elephants and as mistrusting of other species as wolves.
All sea dragons are able to breathe both under water and above, having both gills and lungs. This makes them ideal residents of the ocean, both as hunters and as guardians of grottoes.
Sea dragons share the same idea as the rest of the sea creatures regarding being who are in danger at sea; if the sea wants it, she should keep it if she can. They do not rescue creatures in danger of drowning, but unless it's dead before it hits the water (and they happen to be hungry,) they won't attack either.
