====== Quetzalcoatls ======
{{:images:quetzalcoatl.base.131.png }}
Quetzalcoatls are a strange mix of snake, bird, [[humans|human]], and a dash of the divine. They are able to manipulate objects with their claws. They are amazingly [[characters:str|strong]], [[characters:dex|quick]], and amazingly [[characters:con|hardy]], but quite [[characters:int|stupid]] and [[characters:wis|impious]] (despite the dash of divinity). However, they are strongly [[characters:power|magical in nature]] and usually have a vast reservoir of [[characters:mana]] with which to cast any spell they're not too stupid to learn. Often, they're only able to grasp one basic [[spells:pyromancy|fire spell]].

Their strongly draconic nature makes them immune to [[attack_types:fire]] and helps them with [[skills:pyromancy|fire spells]], but they are vulnerable to [[attack_types:cold]].
They can grasp [[equipment:weapons]], but their bizarre body shape prevents them from using [[equipment:body_armour]], [[equipment:helmets]], and other items of apparel intended for bipedal creatures with two arms, two legs, and head. Their inability to use [[equipment:armour]] comes back to haunt them when they compare themselves with other [[.|races]]:  highly enchanted armour is usually more beneficial than dragonhide! The wings come in handy: they can use them to [[skills:levitation|levitate]], and their hide gets thicker as they gain power, compensating them somewhat for not being able to use armour.
