NO DRACONUS FUNDEMENTUM?!
15grifficorntears (Aug 8, 2004)
oops, sorry. the draconis fundementum is the gland possesed only by true dragons. the DF is attatched to the heart and is the source of the dragons elemental energy. the dragons blood passes through this gland and gives the dragon enormous energy. the DF powers the dragons breath weapon.
