The Magnus subspecies (upon which most research has been done) is comparable in size to a European Dragon with a length of 40 feet and a height of between 12 and 15 feet. Smaller subspecies have been found on mountains with a permanent snow covering. The book itself is a work of art. The cover reminds you of an ancient volume, perhaps owned by a wizard.

There are sealed envelopes which you can open to find letters from the author or even magical spells. There are "samples" of dragon scales and wings...This book really brings them to life.

Despite their superficial resemblance, the Draconimorpha are not particularly closely related to any other clade of modern reptiles. They are in fact, members of the Parareptilia, a subclass of Reptilia which also includes the now extinct Pareiasaurs among others, and are quite distinct from the more familiar Eureptilia, which includes the lepidosaurs (tuataras, lizards & snakes), archosaurs (crocodiles & birds) and the testudines (turtles and tortoises). This information book series is designed to wow! With engaging topics, in your face layouts, this will get your children interested in any topic.

Many dragon species pose a major threat to humans, but none more so than one of the largest, the enormous Eurasian mountain devil ( Magnadrakon imperiosus).

Please note- this wiki is based mostly off the books "Dragonology", supposedly written by Dr Ernest Drake and edited by Dugald Steer. In his afterword, Dr. Drake reveals that one of the crucial goals of dragonologists is to preserve the magnificent creatures of their study wherever possible - a goal this tongue-in-cheek volume most affectionately achieves.
