Taxonomy

The Rukodiora share the general build of other Elder Dragons. It has large gold colored horns, golden wings, grey scales, and spines along its tail. Its wings are most unusual, as they are not in the style of a traditional dragon's wings, more resembling fins. In particular it closely resembles Alatreon and Kushala Daora, especially the latter. This could be that all of them share the same ancestor, but through the course of nature, have taken their own evolutionary path.

Habitat Range

Rukodiora has only been spotted in and around the Interceptor's Base and Desert.

Ecological Niche

While these dragons are mostly seen causing major damage and destruction at the Interceptor's Base they've also been sighted in the Desert. In the Desert they compete with Kuarusepusu, Tigrex, Copper Blangonga, Akura Vashimu, and its other Elder Dragon brethren such as Kushala Daora, Teostra, and Lunastra. Despite such fierce competition these dragons are capable of fighting on par with said predators due to their powerful use of the Dragon Element. Recently there was a discovery of an extremely large Wyvern known as Odibatorasu that is a major threat to any creature smaller than itself and even a Rukodiora would avoid this predator at all costs.

Biological Adaptations

Rukodiora has large gold colored horns, golden wings, grey scales and spines along its tail. It seems to be able to control magnetism. To do this its body uses large amounts of electricity from its wings and horns to control magnetic pull. It is able to release a dust on objects it usually has no control over, using this dust it can now push and pull the objects as it wills. The scales of Rukodiora gather electricity and work as generators for its ability's. The wings of Rukodiora contain a deadly to human amount of electricity upon a human hand touching a Rukodiora's wing the hand becomes completely numb.

Behavior

Rukodiora are aggressive creatures, and it currently lays siege to the Interceptor's Base and travels the Deserts.
