The carmor is the largest species of dragon Faidia (the land where melceys, chevei, and lorriams are from) has to offer. They are plain dragons, not having any sort of crests or horns, but they are large and can be vividly colored. They live like wolves; sometimes in packs and groups, sometimes not, depending on the food situation. If there is lots of prey to be had, carmors will usually just split up and live in pairs on their own territories. In harder times with fewer prey, they will tend to group together and their territories will overlap, and a hierarchy will usually be established among the males.

Male carmors will fight other males until the other admits submission. In a pack situation, there will most often be a lead male. In this case, it's Andirel. Other males will have to make do with what Andirel leaves as far as prey and territory goes.

Female carmors will usually live in peace with each other, but they would rather live alone, with their own offspring, or with a mate. Carmors are overall very anti-social, but they enjoy the company of a human if you raise it from a hatchling and keep it well fed. Once you feed a carmor, you've probably recruited a lifelong friend. Even then, however, it is best to keep in mind the carmor's private nature, and give it plenty of time alone. Otherwise they get irritable and are liable to eat you.

Carmors lay one or two eggs at a time. They breed throughout the year, although more often in winter. Hatchlings are cared for by very attentive mothers who feed them the soft parts of their kills. Males will sometimes help take care of hatchlings if the mother is unable somehow, but only when they are alone; if other males are around, the father will be more preoccupied with fighting them off and claiming his mate than actually taking care of hatchlings. Carmors will mate for life if they choose to, but many simply choose different males from the resident group to mate with from season to season. Hatchlings learn to fly at a young age so that they are able to protect themselves against males who might want to kill them. Adult male carmors don't think kindly towards offspring that is not their own, not through any character fault, but through sheer instinct.

Carmors, as adoption animals, can have extended breedings. Each carmor has an ID number. The first letter indicates the species (D, in the case of carmors), the second is a number for the individual carmor in question, and the last is a "m" or "f" giving the carmor's gender. Odd numbered carmors are male and even numbered are female.
