Biology / Physical traits
Da'eru Avarris are probably the most iconic of the sub-breeds, they are commonly found in the capital and major cities, along with their feathered counterparts.
'Scaled' Avarris, as the nickname suggests, have scales covering their limbs, tail and sometimes even their humanoid parts. If they have a pair of wings, the scales nearly always run up their back, covering their shoulders and often their neck too, regardless of having their wings disguised or not.

Male and Female Da'eru look physically very similar, aside from females having less broad shoulders and more pronounced hips.
Female Da'eru rarely have any breasts, as it is a lot easier for them to lay eggs and have the child develop inside the protective egg-shell. Da'eru are commonly able to breathe/control fire. It is most commonly used for cooking and creating a makeshift fireplace when needed. They don't enjoy using their fire magic in combat as they deem it to be an unfair advantage. Da'eru are one of the strongest breeds around, even if they don't appear to be the strongest. Physical activities are a breeze and even quite fun for them. They are excellent with long distance flying, as they have great stamina. However they are fairly slow in the air and a lot quicker on the ground. |

The horns of a Da'eru are ironically, not known to be the strongest. They are prone to breaking and Da'eru shed them once per year. Their horns fall off and regrow within a month.
Some Avarris might use the shed horns to make jewelry, which is quite popular among the resident humans.
Da'eru have rather sharp teeth, easily leaving scars with them on even the tough shell of armored Avarris. If a Da'eru grows tusks, they are strong and can leave serious damage to someone ill-prepared. The tusks are also used for jewlery if one is lost on accident. While their teeth grow back, caps on their teeth and even false teeth are popular among Da'eru.

Eggs & Egg Care
The eggs of a Da'eru are typically an oval shape. Depending on the trimester they are laid, they can be either the size of someone's hand, or the size of a newborn. The egg shell is typically really hard, and the parents are often required to help the child hatch. If they refuse to help their child hatch, it will eventually suffocate in it's eggshell. When freshly laid, the eggs are a white color, but as the egg gets older it usually gets a brown-ish, yellow tint over it's shell. The older the egg, the darker the coloration on it. Infertile eggs slowly become grey.
