What are Dargons?
A Dargon is an alien species that greatly resembles a dragon. However, they are not. While they have four legs and can fly, they have large ears, a layer of fur under their scales, and are not able to manipulate any element. Males of all subspecies have underscales, left over from more primitive days of fighting over females. The genome of the Dargon is vast and complex, allowing for innumerable color and pattern combinations. However, they do have their distinctions between breeds.
Dargons live in systems called Tribes. Each Tribe has a Chief or Chieftess, who decides who can and can't be a part of the tribe. Tribes can war, be allies, and even interbreed. They are intelligent enough to fashion simple tools and decorations with their opposable thumbs. Dargons communicate with a language of spoken sounds vaguely like English. They are omnivores who hunt and forage in groups. They make their homes in cave systems somewhat like a prairie-dog town.
Dargons were first found by human explorers when their home planet was in crisis, mere months away from being devoured by a black hole. Using technology and some Dargon magic, humans managed to transport many Dargons back to earth. After initial lab testing, it was found that Dargons would make great, though large, companions and pets for humans.
Windgons
Windgons are a very common subspecies. With their lean bodies and large wings and tails, they are masters of the air around their mountaintop homes. Their manes are short and mainly cover their crown. Their large tails are tipped with two formidable horns, which they use as rudders against gale-force winds.
Blazegons
Blazegons are another common breed, renowned for their ferocity and bravery. They can dwell anywhere but prefer warmer, drier areas. Their manes extend to above their shoulders, are short in hair length, and appear slicked back. Their tail contains yet another weapon for these fighters: a scorpion sting, complete with venom.
Rockgons
Rockgons are an uncommon breed and are extremely large, dwelling in caverns and other earthy places. They are built for strength, and their wings are rather small. Their mane is thick and extends halfway down the neck, like a helmet. Their tail bears a large spade, useful when working the earth.
Dimgons
Dimgons are a rare subspecies, and are very small. They are built for stealth and can see in the dark, for they dwell where sunlight can be scarce. Their manes grow in long, luscious tresses. Their tail bears six smallish spikes, three above and three below.
Freezegons
Freezegons are an uncommon breed of Dargon, and have elongated bodies and rather short legs for easier maneuvering in their icy northern home. Their mane, over time, has developed into a slicked-back affair that peaks behind the ears, the result of eons of being battered by relentless winds. Their tail bears a hard, jagged plate for traction and defense.
Beastgons
Beastgons are actually rather common, and a large and stocky. They are good fighters, and have large, sabre-cat fangs to aid them. Their tails are tipped with quills that, while they cannot be flung off, can come off the tail if stuck in something. Their mane is not a proper mane, but rather a thick tuft of crown hair that ends near the ears.
Treegons
Treegons are an uncommon Dargon breed and complete pacifists. Unlike the other breeds, these Dargs prefer to live in trees, and their tails are even slightly prehensile to accommodate this lifestyle! Their mane is rather long, and some would describe it as being a cross between the manes of a Rockgon and a Dimgon. Their tail is graced with a tuft of soft fur.
Raingons
Another rare, small breed. Raingons are swimmers and can be found near lakes and rivers. They can't stand saltwater, though. While their paws sport to webbing, their limbs and tail and strong and their paws are large. Their mane is thick and dense, kept short and extending in a line down to the shoulders. Their tail sports a semi-transparent fin that is reminiscent of a tadpole's tail.

So, I am no longer really playing. I am sticking around to collect pets which I will exchange for art. Please only contact me about art or if you need some advice or a listening ear.

How things work
Dargons is a a multi-pronged species, with many breeds and all sorts of events!
You can start adopting right away now, and you may have as many as you like! You can also breed Dargons for cool hybrids and participate in events to get neat traits or items!
RulesRules operate on a three-strike system. The first two times a rule is broken, you'll get a warning, maybe a suspension. The third time, you will be barred from Dargons. Your Dargons will be rehomed and you will be reported if you are caught messing with Dargons, either the adopts or the community.
Staff, the rules apply to you too!
Species Rules
~Dargons may be used as characters, OCs, or sonas.
~Dargons may not be created by a non-Dargon-artist.
~However, you may make art of pre-existing Dargons as long as credit to the species is given.
~You may take your Dargons off-site (say, to stash or ToyHouse), as long as you link back to the main Dargons page and give credit.
~The re-sale of Dargons is not allowed. If you wish to evict a Dargon from your ownership, PM a staffer and Scottish9 will note its readoption status on the Community post.
~To trade Dargons, you must have the permission of a mod and both artists. You must also tell the archivist each time a Dargon changes hands (trade/gift/evict) and who it is going to (if applicable)
~Editing of Dargon lines without written artist permission is not allowed.
Community Rules
~Feel free to PM Scottish9 with suggestions and feedback!
~Please be polite and respectful.
~Please do not argue with staffers. If you ask for an explanation politely, however, we'd be delighted to clarify things!
~Artists have the right to make the competition any way they want as long as no currency except for Dargon or CS currency is involved.
~If you see a fight or harassment, tell a CS or Dargons mod. Don't mini-mod. Hopefully this won't happen 
Miscellaneous notes
~You can have as many Dargs as you wish.
~You must own a Dargon for a week before you can trade/gift/evict/breed it
~Use this form to redeem a code (both the redeemer and the giver will get 2 SC, more information in Bazaar). Post it on the main thread

FAQhere’s a list of some questions and their answers!
Q: can I use a Dargon in my signature?
A: Yes! Either as a linked image or just an image, this goes along with being allowed to use a Dargon as a character. Just please do not claim the art as yours
Q: should I pay for breedings? For customs?
A: nursery artists cannot accept payment. However, stud/dam owners may ask for it. Payment for customs outside of their specific prices in the Bazaar is optional, but a nice way to thank the artist for taking the detour.
Q: Who gets the payment for SC for a Dargon?
A: Send all payment for SC to Scottish9. If the wanted artist is not Scottish9, then PM the wanted artist. Once that artist finishes the custom, Scottish9 will transfer half the payment pets to the artist as part of their salary.
Q: what if I see a Dargon that I really like, can I offer for it? And if there’s a Dargon that’s not up for breeding, can I ask to breed to it?
A: no, you may not make an offer on a Dargon that is under ownership. You may also not try to breed to a Dargon that is not listede publicly unless you and its owner have arranged something.
