Description -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Artex is a black-scaled pseudo-metallic midnight dragon with azure-blue eyes, a dark-silver mane and large wings. His scales are iridescent and may sometimes shift to a more blue undertone depending on his mood and energy levels. In some instances, his coloration may appear to resemble a starry night sky. Midnight dragons are usually nocturnal: they see well in the dark and their visual features help them maintain stealth while they hunt, or conceal themselves from danger. Their body and scale positioning can make these dragons well insulated from outside temperatures, but also allow them to radiate their body heat outward, making them prone to survival in harsh environments and harder to detect by thermal imaging. Due to their stealthy and cautious nature, midnight dragons may at times struggle to find each other and form family units, or even become easily separated from such. Those who survive the loneliness this often brings - end up with either a solitary and introverted personality, or can be found in a company of other species when they go the extroverted route and reveal themselves. In either case, the bond these dragons form with those they befriend is very valuable, and when reciprocated - can become very strong and long-lasting. Artex is of the introverted type. Artex exists somewhere in a state between pure energy of an unknown/undiscovered type, and physical matter - a state that gives him his magical, shape-shifting and size-shifting abilities. He tends to use these abilities to compensate for his underdeveloped breath weapon, as well as trying to build pretty things, the latter of which not being very successful. His mysterious nature and menacing looks often terrifies people at a first glance - something that in turn made him very hesitant to communicate with others, but if you get to know this creature, you will find plenty of warmth and affection beneath all the physical and psychological protective layers these dragons have.
