Species Notes[edit]
The Ka-Riu is one of only three known breeds of dragons that are capable of vitrolic attack.
The other two are the Copacati and the Longwing.
Origin Of Name?[edit]
In Japanese mythology, the Ka-Riu was a small dragon; seven feet long, that was scarlet-coloured, and in some versions made of fire. It was one of several "Dragon Kings", including Sui Riu, Han-Riu, Ri-Riu, Fuku Riu & Hai-riyo. Because the two known Japanese dragon breeds use these names, it could be assumed that the other names are as yet unseen breeds.
