Eastern Lung

Route up · the drowned routeOwns · waterBorn holding · waterlungSignature · gale_breath

Born holding what everyone else has to eat eels for. Owns rivers, coasts and anything flooded, and arrives at the surface without being hungry -- which is why it is the only lineage anyone has ever managed to talk to.

Growth

Four stages, 0.30 m to 1.40 m

It grows through four stages, fed and irreversible. A hatchling is not a smaller cute version; it is the adult’s anatomy at a hatchling’s size.

What it can do

Its own attack: gale breath

It can do these, and one of them is its own — the signature attack, which is a different shape from every other lineage’s rather than a different colour:

On film

The Eastern Lung on film

Six films are named after this lineage. Every film is in the film library.

The Flood Channels

In play18 seconds

An Eastern Lung in the Flood Channels, long and wingless, in the wet middens of the climb.

Growing in the Dark

In play15 seconds

An adult comes out of the mine encounter. Eastern Lung play with the growth and traits in view: what it has eaten, and what that taught it.

The Feast

Stories32 seconds

What happens after. The same six people butcher the dead lung, cook and eat it, and sell the meat, scales, whiskers, horns, claws and hide at market. A dragon is worth a great deal, once it has stopped moving.

The Farm Battle

Stories20 seconds

Three lungs come down on a farm in open lanes. The defenders do not scatter: they run, brace, thrust, draw and release, and a coordinated volley brings one of the three down.

The Chicken Raid

Stories15 seconds

A lung comes in low over a smallholding and leaves with a chicken in each foot. Undefended calories, and nobody in the yard is equipped to argue.

Egg to Adult

Growing up14 seconds

One animal from the shell to full size. Growth is staged, fed and irreversible, and every stage is the same creature rather than a different model wearing its name.
