Diseases And Disorders #9 (Balligra)

Balligra:
Balligra is a disease that spreads throughout the bones and causes them to be more dense. This creates a problem in particular for Sorgonic dragons, as most of their time is spent underwater. However the other species are able to cope with it well, the only set back being not able to reach high speeds or altitudes while flying. Balligra is uncommon, but not rare and is genetic in origin. Most dragons who have Balligra do not even know of it until they are actually diagnosed. Known dragons of importance who have been diagnosed with Balligra include:

Biglam Lachezer (Ironically enough)

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Diseases And Disorders #8 (Igriminta)

Igriminta:
Igriminta is a disease in which the carrier is covered in severe rashes that eventually lead to internal bleeding. It spreads by contact, and networks all over the body. Although treatable, if Igriminta carriers do not receive help within two weeks of the first noticeable rash, it can possibly become irreversible and eat away at the internal organs. The disease comes from toxic fires, or fires that spew fumes from toxic plants. Dragons of importance that have been diagnosed with Igriminta include:

Eigol Estellwork's daughter, Zellbelza Estellwork

Diseases And Disorders #7 (Blastika)

Blastika:
Blastika is a disorder that occurs within the brain and causes the carrier to have enhanced perception and intellectual understanding. The carrier is able to carry a vast amount of intellectual power and they are extremely logical in their perceptions. The disorder does not damage the brain in any way, and it is up to the carrier how information is perceived. One of the rarest of disorders, Blastika does not cause any harm to its carrier whatsoever. Known dragons of importance who have been diagnosed with Blastika include:

Wreaknatter Drudlok (500 I.Q. in a scale of 500)

Alsenoth Ongeller (520 I.Q. in a scale of 500)

Halsim Valtor (510 I.Q. in a scale of 500)

Diseases And Disorders #6 (Cellic Regneva)

Cellic Regneva:
Cellic Regneva is almost the complete opposite of Moltima Viriscus. Rather than having rapid deterioration of skin tissue, Cellic Regneva is a disease where the cells within the carrier quickly build themselves up to the point where they can cause extreme harm. This disease often leads to imploding body organs as well as tumorous growths throughout the body. Although harmless on a small scale (in fact a benefit if only partially acquired due to its rapid cell reproduction that can heal wounds), Cellic Regneva is highly toxic and can almost certainly be called a terminal illness. Though not contagious, Cellic Regneva has been known to be canceled out if the carrier also possesses the disease Moltima Viriscus. This combination of rapidly deteriorating and reproducing cells creates a balance within the carrier that can help create a longer life expectancy, rather than the usual predicted lifespan of twenty-five years. Although this balances helps it does not stop the end result. Because of the constant eating and rebuilding of cells, the carrier's body will eventually fight off both diseases causing the organs to go into shock and shut down. Known dragons of importance who have been diagnosed with Cellic Regneva include:

Halsim Valtor (Also diagnosed with Moltima Viriscus)

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Diseases And Disorders #5 (Moltima Viriscus)

Moltima Viriscus:
Moltima Viriscus is a severe disease that causes rapid deterioration in the skin cells. Usually found on the face of the carrier, it results in sagging and peeling skin. There have been incidents where the carrier has been known to lose their eyes due to the focus on the ocular area. The skin quickly melts away peels at the slightest touch. Usually starting with a severe rash, Moltima Viriscus is not easily spread. It is known to only be transmitted through constant contact with other carriers. Although Moltima Viriscus is extremely dangerous, it can be averted by using a mix of Firethorn berries and Saltwater Sap. Because of the rareness of Saltwater Sap, Moltima Viriscus has often been treated by death or quarantine in order to prevent further spread. However, there have been known subjects who carry Moltima Viriscus along with Cellic Regneva, a disease that causes extreme rapid cell regeneration. Although it is just as dangerous as Moltima Viriscus, Cellic Regneva can help to counter the effects of Moltima Viriscus when the carrier has been diagnosed with both diseases. Known dragons of importance who have been diagnosed with Moltima Viriscus include:

Halsim Valtor (Also diagnosed with Cellic Regneva)

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Diseases And Disorders #4 (Seclunis)

Seclunis:

Seclunis is a rare disorder that sets the carrier's mind into a desire and fixation to be isolated from society while still contributing in some way. This is caused usually by a series of traumatic incidents around the carrier's childhood, creating an overwhelming sense and desire to remain alone. Not necessarily considered a true disorder or disease due to the emotional causes behind its origin, Seclunis can be described has a highly irrational train of thought that often leads to a lesser form of Dementia. Seclunis has not been able to be defined in full, but research from the Royal Dragon Academy has proved to find newer and newer forms of Seclunis in young dragons who have risen out of orphan backgrounds. Known dragons of importance who have been diagnosed with Seclunis include:

Markus Lumengar (Orphaned)

Kara Roote

Lech (Orphaned)

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Diseases and Disorders #3 (Symphonica)

Symphonica:
Symphonica should not be classified as a disease, but rather a disorder. In this rare case, the disorder does not degrade the carrier in any way, but rather amplifies their abilities. Symphonica occurs in early childhood, especially when the dragon was deaf in their infancy. It is a disorder within the ear canal that causes the carrier to become extremely perceptive to sound and or music. The carrier is able to do different things depending on the type of Symphonica. Symphonica Lyris has to do strictly with amplified senses that involve music. Symphonica Echnis involves strictly general sound perception. Finally there is Symphonica Versilis which is a mix of both types of Symphonica. The carrier can find perfect understanding of both pitch and harmony, perceive depth and feel slight vibrations, or do both depending on the strand of Symphonica. Known dragons of importance who have been diagnosed with Symphonica include:

Rajax Lacklottle (Symphonica Echnis/ Stimdart of Sound/ NOT deaf at birth)

Kala Roote (Symphonica Lyris/ Deaf at birth)

Let me know if you have questions! Thanks!

Diseases and Disorders #2 (Dementia)

Dementia:
Dementia is a disease that is a result of too much genetic makeup in the cerebrum section of the brain. Dementia creates a strong bond and link with the first major emotional trauma or release of endorphins that occurs in the cerebrum and causes the carrier to be emotionally fixed and obsessed with one person or idea. Because Dementia only presents itself when the genetic makeup of the cerebrum is altered, it is most commonly found in dragons who are known to have Duplex Syndrome. The over compensation for lost genetic tissue for those who have Duplex Syndrome often creates an overage in the cerebrum that results in Dementia. Dementia is only curable when the carrier obtains that goal that has been fixated in their mind. This causes the genetic strand of Dementia to result in an over exertion and eventual deterioration caused by a massive release of endorphins linked to the fixated memory. Known dragons of importance who have been diagnosed with Dementia include:

Alsenoth Ongeller (Semi-Dementia fixation on Kala Roote-a result of becoming infatuated with her as a child)

Indigo Ravvendin (Dementia fixation on suicide-a result of a near death experience as a child)

Diseases and Disorders #1 (Duplex Syndrome)

SO this is the first of my "Diseases and Disorders" posts. Basically this is going to help you know about the things that cause harm in Tarterrior to dragons and what not. So here's the first one. Let me know if you have any questions, thanks!

Duplex Syndrome:
Duplex syndrome is a genetic birth defect that happens when the baby dragon is conceived. The genetic tissue is harmed and tries to rapidly reinforce itself, causing an over abundance in the genetic DNA makeup. Because of this, the dragon is born with an overage of either limbs or organs. Although Duplex Syndrome is quite harmless, many who have been known to receive it have also been diagnosed with Dementia, a disease where the carrier becomes overly obsessed with a certain person or idea. The syndrome is quite rare, and usually occurs when giving birth to twins. However, there have been some cases of single birthed dragons who have Duplex Syndrome. Known dragons diagnosed with Duplex Syndrome include:

Regalon Reave (4 wings)

Indigo Ravvendin (4 eyes, 2 hearts, split tail/ TWIN to Astrin Ravvendin/ Carrier of Dementia)

Astrin Ravvendin (2 brains, 2 tongues/ TWIN to Inidgo Ravvendin)
