Types of Flames produced by Dragons

Typical Flame Sac by Mochi

In dragons, a flame sac can always be found in the upper snout. Some species have glands that loop down into the throat, fire being ejected from the mouth, and some have a pair of nostril-like openings above their actual nostrils which eject fire. Some dragons have secondary flame sacs in other parts of their bodies, such as their tails or feet.

Flame sacs can be harvested and preserved perfectly, giving the user the ability to eject fire assuming the organ is utilised correctly. The cells that make up the flame sac superheat the climate inside, and when squeezed will eject fire from its opening.

Some dragon species have developed unique flame sacs that supercool air or water, allowing them to breathe ice or snow. Other dragons have a flame sac that functions like an electric organ, allowing them to generate their own electricity and utilise that. Very few dragons can utilise magic, relying on their flame sac to expel it.
