Species Notes

Common British breed of dragons.

Sir Edward Howe has noted that the Yellow Reaper breed is unfairly maligned because of its familiarity. However they have some good qualities that recommend them to this much use: they are hardy (while not being picky eaters), unbothered by heat extremes, and almost always good humored. Ordinarily, they weigh between 12 and 15 tons, with extremes as low as ten and as high as seventeen; they have "nicely proportioned" dimensions of 50 feet length and 80 feet wingspan.

Yellow Reapers are clannish and prefer to work in a group with other Yellow Reapers. However, the practice of the Aerial Corps is to distribute them among mixed groups of dragons for balance.

Messoria and Immortalis, the only two Yellow Reapers in Lily's formation, were also the only two formation members who displayed an instinctive and unavoidable tendency to drop when another dragon dived on them from above. This may indicate that this response is more common in Yellow Reapers than in other breeds.

Yellow Reapers are said to have contributed to almost every dragon bloodline in the British Isles.
