Species Notes
Kaziliks are a highly valuable breed of dragon. This is mostly because of the coveted ability to breathe fire, but also because they are heavyweight dragons when most fire breathers are light to middleweight. They are native to Turkey, and the government lets very few out of their possession. Kaziliks are difficult to disguise or decoy, a common tactic used to protect fire breathing dragons, because of their distinctive horns. The species is known a for strong fighting spirit, which only further increases their military value.
William Laurence saw the destructive power of the Kaziliks at the Battle of the Nile when he saw the French flagship (L'Orient) destroyed by their flames.
At the beginning of the 19th century, a Kazilik egg was worth 500,000 pounds.
