The Flood Channels
In play18 seconds
An Eastern Lung in the Flood Channels, long and wingless, in the wet middens of the climb.
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.
| stage | height | of adult height |
|---|---|---|
| hatchling | 0.30 m | 21% |
| juvenile | 0.62 m | 44% |
| subadult | 1.02 m | 73% |
| adult | 1.40 m | 100% |

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.
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.
