I think it has to do with this statement "It has even been found that some Rare Species use the Dragon Element like Elder Dragons, though isn't really noticeable most of the time." Though they can't inflict dragonblight or actually use dragon attacks in a offensive manner I'm guessing they have a passive use of it, to strengthen their resistance or something like that. That could also go for Molten because he has the highest dragon resistance compared to it's relatives who are weak to dragon. I'm really interested on how Rare species and dragon really work, its way to broad in the subject personally.
