I've said it once, and I'll say it again: Thank you Katila for allowing me to make one of these magnificent creatures. I never knew how much I missed playing him until now that he's come back to life. He is meh behbeh.

Purpose: Under the command of Emperor Xathiador, Fuego is under contract to serve for however many years in exchange for Xathiador to find his children. What he doesn't know is that the two younger dragons, Bane and Ayara that fight alongside him, are actually his young.
(Um I just wrote something, I couldn't remember if that was right or not)

Physique: To keep it short and sweet, (because I just know I’ll go way overboard when you can just look at a picture) Fuego is built like a jaguar. His thick legs are lithe and fast for a dragon, along with the privilege of six legs instead of four, he dodges and attacks like a wildcat. His hide is severely scarred and mangled from his years of fighting and he has a large gold hoop in his nose like a bull. Part of his right horn has been severed, the cause from an angry beastkeeper who decided to take his revenge out on the dragon. He also has a black tatoo on his left foreleg, showing that he is property of the World Circus. He has deep umber brown markings over a light cream base coat. He earns his name from his flame-like markings adorning his face and back. His eyes are gold.

Psyche: Although he is feared and respected by many for his strength, Fuego is very quiet and skittish, liking to be alone rather than be with others. His whole life has been a living hell and he thinks that in a second someone will take it away from him now that he is free; making him very territorial. Under his hard exterior however, is a kindhearted soul that wishes nothing more than to have companionship, though he doesn’t know it.

Quotes:
"As a matter of fact, I do." To Rashita in From the Shadows

Abilities:
Red mist--Used to handicap opponents and prey. When in contact with eyes, mouth, nose, or any open wounds, it can burn or itch profusely.

Teal mist--Used as a knockout drug. When in contact, the inflicted creature will either faint, or feel rather lethargic, given the dosage.

Silver mist--Has no effect on any creatures other than his own kind. Acts as a aphrodisiac, or mating call. Has more of a glittery appearance like sparkles.

Black mist--Last resort to kill enemies and prey. Fuego likes to kill with his body and not his advantages. Even if used, the inflicted still only has a 50% chance of dieing.

History:
One cold night, a lone man in his late forties was trekking down the mountains on his way home in the middle of a snow storm. Halfway there, he spotted a large mound of soft brown fur left shuddering in the snowdrift. Thinking it was a poor stray dog, the man approached the animal, to find that it was a baby fur dragon.

The man had never seen a fur dragon, only heard myths and legends about the mysterious creatures, until now that is. He scooped the rather large baby into his arms and carried it back to his small cottage. Living alone, he had no trouble at keeping the small baby a secret. Olde Woods separated him from any other human contact for miles. So he raised the dragon on raw rabbits and hay, calling him Fuego for his flame-like markings.

Fuego grew to a strong and heartily adolescent, his years counting 30. But the old man was dying, and soon, Fuego would have no one to take care of him but the old nursemaid who despised him.

And so when the day that the good man did pass on, the first thing the maid did was tie a rope around Fuego's neck and lead him to the human civilization, where he would eventually be sold. Fuego was as gentle as a lamb, as tame as a dog. He had no idea where or why the maid was taking him.

The dragon's appearance in the town square caused quite a commotion amongst the townsfolk, one ringleader in particular. He ran over to the poor maid in earnest, wanting nothing more than to have Fuego in his show. Within moments, Fuego was being lead away to the large yellow tents in the distance..

And to shorten 20 years into a few paragraphs, Fuego spent many years as the lead in the freak show, getting laughed and pointed at by the pig-nosed humans who attended. Fuego had no idea why they were cruel to him, he had done nothing wrong, but yet the crowd came every night, jeering and pointing at the same volume as the very first night. This was the turning point in Fuego's life. From young dear dragon, to a adult, snarling savage.

It started happening around the tenth year of his career as a freak that Fuego started lashing out and mauling both audience members and staff. He roared and snarled, forcing the beastkeepers to lock him in heavy chains and smaller meals to weaken his strength. Soon, no one wanted to see the great Fur Dragon. They feared him and wished his death.

The circus owned several other breeds of dragon, including wyvrens, firedrakes, gryphons and so on, and one of their main purposes were to fight each other, usually to the death. It was then that Fuego was flung into the ring.

Learning quickly, Fuego outmatched many dragons just in agility. Others, his size. Everywhere he turned, he defeated another dragon, making the hopes of the audience steep lower and lower.

They didn't want him to win.

As Fuego reached his late 40's he had become supreme head of the dragon ring, his attitude as horrible as his killings. he was always in chains now, except for when he entered the ring. Part of his horn had been sawed off from one night alone with a drunk beastkeeper. Fuego had had enough.

One evening, after his victory over a large Basilisk, Fuego was being led to his cage. No one was around, just the circus staff cleaning up, and he decided to make a break for it. Fortunately, the cage boy had only managed to fit one shackle around his leg before Fuego bolted, snapping the thick chain like a strand of thread. He gored the staff that came after him with the tips of his horns, and after that, no soul dared to run after him as he roared a call of victory deep into the ebony-flecked sky.

Other:Fuego was DESIGNED, CREATED, & IS PLAYED by me, Tayahka, aka Taytay.
You say his name as it would be in Spanish, (ph-way-go not few-go)
Tarachnor dragon (C) Katila

I do believe that was the idea that he and Ra would serve Xathiador in exchange for finding Bane and Ayara.
