weredragons are diverse

true dagons
general information: 
Body Fat; does not expand, much, grows denser to store excess metabolic energy. on a healty individual fat will feel like long corded rope under the skin and is only slightly softer than toned muscle. they are hatched with a certain number of fat cells and can not create more. 
brain; has unique lobes for controlling magic. overall more dense than human brain especially the brain stem (hind brain). unique structures connecing speech centers to hind brain. also cells are more energy efficient. small nodes located throughout nerveous systme. used to process sensory information as well as controling magic. 
muscles: more efficent than human muscles, also wing muscles capable of great endurance. 
bones are lighter than human bones due to different proteins and elements. bones also have similar adaptation as other flight capable animals.
wings; With were dragon heritage, there is no true wing type. However, there wings are typically fall into three catagories; bird, bat, or single strut or more commonly called pterasour. The final type pterasour is very uncomman but beilieved to be the origanal wing type. 
(diferences in wings. bird has elements more like bat. Bat have two sub catagories; true and chitin. Pterasaur is pretty much identical to pterasour wings.) 
fire: three types; gas, liquid or plasma. 
gas; gas is formed as a byproduct of digestion, mostly methen and other natural gases, and is stored in special sacs that connect with the throat. When dragon wishes to make fire they take a deep breath then squeze saks as they exhale causing air and gas to mix. to ignite the gas they have a small organ in the roof of the mouth that acts like a capaciter, located close to the front snout, and discharges a small electric spark causing the gas mix to ignite and burn. This form of fire is somewhat limited in range.  (valve in back of throat to prevent back draft.)
Liquid; the liquid is produced by a pair of glands located in the throat. This fuel is not activily stored within the body. When needed -or commanded- the glands begin producing the liquid which is stored in a sak located in front of the throat. to expal the liquid the sac contract and the contents shot through a duct located under the tongue, then the mouth opens and the tongue lifts, allowing the liquid to be expelled and the volitile liquid will ignit after a few moments contacting open air. a trical of liquid is not expelled however the siliva acts as a retardent preventing ignition. greater range than gas.
Plasma (wip); similar gas sacs to gas type along with sparker. magic is used to contain and compress gas. magic also ejects bolt from open mouth as well as keep bolt contained until it strikes target. has longest range but is most dificult to learn and control. 
cover: skin, scales, fur or feathers; usually some combination of two or three of the formentioned features. can be either keretin or chitin based. 
coloration. dependent on individual. 
diet: omnivore. can eat anything a human can as well as things that humans can not. (stomach acids can break down bones)
sex: hermaphrodites though they display sexual dimorphisim creating 'male' and 'female' body types. egg layer, however young feed on breast milk. number of breasts dependent on heritage though generally their will be two, four, or six located on waist/belly. When not lactating, breasts are flat so as not to disrupt airflow only expending when their are young to be fed. 

western or fire dragon

Height at the shoulder: stand shoulder to shoulder with humans and have a similar height range overall height range. 
length: (torso) generally about half again longer than a human torso is tall. (tail) generally about 25 percent longer than torso. (head and neck) about as long as the torso. 
head shape: dependent on heritage. however, most western head shape displays a mix of mammalian and reptilian features. 
wingspan: longer than body (from head to tail tip), about 30 percent. 
Wing type: western dragon genrally favor bird like wings though bat like wings are also fairly common. it is almost unheard of for a western to have pterasaur like wings. 
cover: western dragons bodies are typically covered with some form of pairing of skin, scales, fur, or feathers. the most common pairings are either a fur/feather combo or a scale/feather combo though other combos do accure. 
coloration (wip): western dragons are typically vibrant with two or three color palets. solid coloration, occasionally patterend.  
Fire: western dragons almost always have one of the three fire types. 

other features: 
 
have three pairs of limbs; fore, hind and wing. Both fore and hind limbs are digitgraded. 
All western dragons forepaws also function as hands. the thumb is typically tucked against the upraised palm when walking. 
Some westerns have forelimbs that are not used for locomotion, instead they are held close to the body similar to theropod dinosaurs. in this case the forepaw is almost indistiguisable from a human hand except for the claws and any other inherited feature. 
some western dragons are venomus or poisones. 
some have organs/tissue similar to electric eels alowing them to produce electricy. However, unless channeling magic, will only be able to shock another individual if dragon is touching someone (ground) or from close proximity (air).
claws; westerns typically have either semi or fully retracable claws similar to cats'. 
typically have two tail fans, one located on the tail base, the other tail tip. each is shaped differently from the other though exactly how is determined by the dragons heritage.

wyvern
Height: the average wyvern at the shoulder will only come up to the average human elbow. they poses a height range equivolent to western dragons. 
length:(torso) more compact than a western dragon with a broader/deeper chest. (tail) tail is typically thicker and shorter than a westerns. (head and neck) neck is much shorter almost raptor like. 
head shape. like westerns, the head shape is largly based on heritage. However, their head shapes are typically more definite IE; reptilian/dino, mammel, avain etc. reptilian/dino is the most common.  pterasaur like head shapes are also fairly common and is almost unique to wyverns. 
wing shape: pterasaur and bat like wings are the most comman type of wings amongst wyverns.
wingspan: about 50 percent wider than total length. 
cover: the most common cover for wyverns is a combo of skin and scales. other fairly common covers are plain fur fur/scale or feather/scale. 
coloration: single color, analagus. light underbelly, darker body
fire type: it is somewhat rare for a wyvern to posses a fire type. Wyvern commonly are venomus and/or poisoness. However, when a dragon does posses a fire type it is typically either gas or liquid. it is almost unheard of for a wyvern to posses plasma. 

other information

Wyvern have two sets of limbs, fore and hind, with the forelimbs doubling as wings. Most wyvern only walk using their hind limbse though it is also common fairly common to see wyvern that walk with a quadroped gait. 
on each wing their are three or four digits that are not used for flight and form fingers and thumbs to grasp and minipulate objects. Most wyvern grasping digits and wings digits share a palm making minipulating objects awkward. a fairly common deveation though is for the wing and grasping digits to diverge at the wrist allowing both to move independently. this veration is common among wyverns who do not use their forelimbs for ground locomotion. 
Wyvern typically have zydactal feet with four to five digits. 
the claws are almost always fixed.
