The Dragonoids were ancient but very powerful creatures of Geilinor. Though existing a little more than a legend in present days, in the past the Dragonoids were one of the most feared species and hated species in Geilinor.

Biology and behavior
The Dragonoids were akin to the Dragonkin which Robert the Strong wiped out to extinction. Much like the Dragonkins, Dragonoids have 2 lower extemeties with 3 or 4 toes while their upper extremeties had 5 fingers (much like humans). Dragonoids can walk, crawl, and are able to fly at great height and speed. Like dragons, dragonoids can breath fire.

Dragonoids are very strong despite standing at equal height as lesser demons. Their claws were known to tear even steel armor with relative impuny. Dragonoids were known to love combat, especially duels. A very warlike race, dragonoids often clash with each other and went to war with other races for the pride of doing battle and to show their superiority and prowess as a race.

Despite being small compared to dragons, the firebreath of Dragonoids can rival those of great dragons themselves - sronger dragonoids can even roast dragon or turn stone walls to lava rivers in one puff. The strength of Dragonoids were described to be beyond reconing - they have been known to crush steel gates with their bear hands and claws and take down armored knights in one blow. Dragonoid scale were also very tough - serving as armor better than steel.

Beyond streght and form, Dragonoids also carry a suble of other natural weapons. Their eyes were day and night seeing and are as keen as eagles -anything they caught on sight cannot escape (even in darkness). Their sense of hearing can allow them to detect even the heartbeats of mice underground. Their sense of smell can allow them to tell anyone or anything with the slightest of odor.

Dragonoids were also known to be very itelligent creatures and virtually every one of their species are capable of talking, of reasoning, or even outwitting humans in brains. The clever dragonoids were known to be exellent tacticians and tricky fighters.

Dragonoids were not ageless but have very long lifespan. Garus, the present leader of the Wilderness Dragonoids, was said to be old but was still very strong.

Lifestyle and craft
Even in the earliest days, Dragonoids were very warlike, so much so that their name has become equivalent to war. For most part, Dragonoids lived as a bandit race in times of peace - stealing anything from food to gold to weapons. They have been known to raid from great cities to lone travelers from the sake of taking what they need to pointless and unreasonable avarice. Dragonoids were peculiar in a sense that they collect gold only for the sake of collection and some were so greedy that they permit only their eyes to see their own collection gold and other wealth.

Aside from banditry and warriors, Dragonoids were also known to smith their weapons. In areas with no civilization and wealthy resources, dragonoids live off as miners, smiths, as well as hunters. The weapons and armors of dragonoids were known to be very strong sometimes described by humans as indestructible. Dragonoids were even known to hunt giants, trolls, and ogres in the same manner as humans were to hunt boards. The spear, the combat weapon of choice for most Dragonoids, were also their favorite hunting weapon as it could skewer very large creatures.
