DRAGON FIELD GUIDE · SIX COLORS AND TAILS
Dragonkind Dragon Types and Tail Guide
A Dragonkind result card shows a dragon’s color and tail. Rebecca Yarros has shared that the game includes six colors and 30 color-and-tail combinations. Approach notes below come from player observations, not a published scoring system.
SIX COLORS
Know the colors; then compare route reports
DRAGON COLOR
Blue
Often described in player notes as imposing and dangerous.
Approach note: Some community notes favor withdrawing. This has not been confirmed as a game scoring rule.
DRAGON COLOR
Green
Often portrayed as observant and composed.
Approach note: Players mention lowering their eyes and holding position, but reports conflict on which Green to face and what follows.
DRAGON COLOR
Red
Known for a fiery temper in player-facing descriptions; scorpiontail Reds are described as especially quick to anger.
Approach note: Community notes suggest avoiding its gaze and approaching from the left/front. Treat this as unverified advice.
DRAGON COLOR
Orange
Player reports describe highly variable encounters and outcomes.
Approach note: Bold replies have led to bonds for some players and incineration for others. No reliable trick is established.
DRAGON COLOR
Brown
The available notes offer fewer consistent temperament details.
Approach note: “Do not show fear” appears in community advice, but has not been verified as a universal rule.
Temperament and approach notes summarize lore and player observations; they are not an official game algorithm.
TAIL FIELD NOTES
Five listed tail types
Tails should not be treated as fixed color pairings. The result card records the combination; there is no published evidence that a tail predicts the bonding route.
- 01Clubtail
- A broad, blunt end described as hammer-like.
- 02Daggertail
- A narrow, pointed tail tip.
- 03Swordtail
- A long, blade-like tail edge.
- 04Morningstartail
- A heavy end with multiple pointed projections.
- 05Scorpiontail
- A curved, barbed tail tip.
Feathertail is associated with a juvenile stage in the lore notes. Do not count it as a seventh color or assume it is a rollable battle tail; record it if it appears on your result card.
COLOR AND TAIL QUESTIONS
Rules, reports, and clues
Does the game publish a den or color scoring table?
No scoring table is published. The route notes here summarize community observations and do not predict a guaranteed bond.
Are dragon tails locked to one color?
No. The author has said all colors and tail types are possible; the result card shows the dragon’s color and tail.
What does a Dragonkind result card show?
Player-shared cards commonly include the dragon’s name, color, tail, age, sex, and lineage. Use the fields on your own card as the record for a run.
Is Feathertail another dragon color?
Treat Feathertail as a tail or juvenile-stage note, not a seventh color. Use the color and tail printed on your own result card.
Should I assume Gold or Irid is a normal result?
No. Do not label a dragon Gold or Irid unless that color appears on your own result card.
