The Dragon Cows
History
Hundreds of years ago, dragons roamed the earth. In about the 16th century, by the Gregorian Calendar, dragons began to die out. This was largely due to the fact that humans percieved them as a threat, and became very efficeint in eliminating them. By the mid-17th century, dragons were all but gone, clinging to life in remote, uninhabited pockets of the world. During these times of isolation, interbreeding with the local wildlife became a fairly common practise. Naturally, many versions of half-breeds were created - dragon eagles, dragon mice, dragon squirrels, etc. Only one of these half-breed species truly flourished - dragon cows with both red and gold dragon lineage. They were one of the few half-breed species to mate amongst themselves and could count on birthing a youngling with the same traits as the parents. Most of the other half-breeds would have children that would either revert back to the physical appearance and traits of the half-breed parent's non-dragon species, or would be born as some hideous mutation.
At first, the dragon cows were nothing more than your average bovine, but with red and gold wings, above average (even for a human) intelligance, and the ability to breathe a large and potent cone of fire. As they evolved (which was incredibly quickly) they took on more of a humanoid stance, their wings decreased in size, and their breath of fire was also reduced in size, but not in potency. Also, as a result of this evolution, the dragon cows became much more hardy than either of their ancestral species, allowing them to live almost anywhere.
Afther this sudden evolutionary change, the dragon cows began to fit in with humanoid society better. They learned the culture of the human groups most closely surrounding them. Due to their scattered dragon ancestry, The dragon cows were too scattered across the globe. After their evolutionary shift(which ended about 1850), they began moving into little clusters. These clusters developed mainly in Japan, South Africa, and Northern Canada. The dragon cows fit, however uncomfortably, into the society that had already built up in these areas, learning the people's traditions and beliefs. No matter how hard they tried, they nefer felt comfortable in their roles in society. They felt isolated and out cast. When mass communication and transportation rolled around in the latter half of the 20th century, the seperate pools of dragon cows becape aware of each other. It was shortly after this that te dragon cows decided to move to the Sword Coast in Antarctica, and start theri own country.
