Species Notes
The Ka-Riu is one of only three known breeds of dragons that are capable of vitrolic attack.
The other two are the Copacati and the Longwing.
Origin Of Name?
In Japanese mythology, the Ka-Riu was a small dragon; seven feet long, that was scarlet-coloured, and in some versions made of fire. It was one of several "Dragon Kings", including Sui Riu, Han-Riu, Ri-Riu, Fuku Riu & Hai-riyo. Because the two known Japanese dragon breeds use these names, it could be assumed that the other names are as yet unseen breeds.
