Description

Yet another security guard for Lurkow, Snufflykh Troffcold is also one of the many researchers that have been appropriated and trained beyond basic self-defence. Despite his positive attitudes toward local humans that he interacted with for the past few years in Archon, he is also a hardened dragon on the inside, willing to protect his own kind and willing to sacrifice himself to a fight against either his foes or the humans that antagonise them as demons. It is perhaps why he swapped his field for something "useful" to his eyes.


A few dragons like Snufflykh may appear to be stocky, resulting in them getting a somewhat of a stereotypical dinosaur/crocodilian look when viewed. When referring to "stereotypical dinosaurs", it'd probably be the lazy Iguanodon from the 19th century or the Komodo dragon. It is possible that dietary habits could create a portly look, but otherwise it is primarily down to the genetics that their biological parents (of whom they may never meet, in a sense of parenthood than something platonic) would have conceived.


There's no major discrimination in body shape, scale colour or anything, really. Not a lot of draconians care about the concept of gender even (aside from mothers perhaps being caretakers of unhatched eggs), resulting in a fairly egalitarian society that is the marker for most cultures of this species. The idea of discrimination only goes down to an socioeconomic or cultural standpoint, rather than by racial traits that many come by. The sheer diversity of draonic phenotypes and high adaptability of their kind to different environments from an egg hatch meant that it would be nigh impossible properly categorise them to specific places. There are some that deliberately attempt to do it, but in most cases, no-one would even bother to try it out for the most obvious reason. In the case of the Lurkowites and their cultural parent that is a thousand light years away: they didn't do it.
