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
