| Abilities: |
- Cavitation Burst
- Like a pistol shrimp, the ability to snap their tail and create a rapidly-traveling bubble of acoustic pressure that can stun or even kill other creatures, as well as rupture armor or other hard materials like stone or coral.
- Emberspawn Brood
- Afterbreeding, Palaegons spawn masses of young as molten "emberlings" that resemble tiny, fiery shrimp. They grow through a lifecycle of glowing plankton, to larval juveniles, and finally to adult magma-shrimp dragons.
- Hyperspectrum Sight
- The ability to see vastly beyond normal vision, including infrared, ultraviolet, and thermal gradients. This can even include perception of magical, ethereal, or other otherworldly spectrums, but this does not include any innate ability to understand what they're seeing.
- Jetstream Propulsion
- The ability to superheat the water around their tail and explosively jet forward or backward.
- Telepathy
- The ability to communicate mind-to-mind.
- Thermal Shell
- The possession of a thick, lava-imbued carapace that can harden and crack on command, including erupting in a burst of blistering fragments.
- Underwater Breathing
- The ability to breathe underwater.
- Volcanic Bioluminescence
- The ability to pulse patterns of glowing heat or light along the body to signal, intimidate, or mesmerize.

| Personality: |
Miophon is a creature of intense passions and searing loyalty, much like the inferno that courses beneath her volcanic hide. She exudes confidence not in a boastful, swaggering sort of way, but in the kind that settles into a room like heat radiating from stone. When she decides to care for someone or something, it is with a depth that borders on obsessive; she guards her chosen few like a magma crust around a precious ember. Miophon speaks in deliberate tones, often laced with metaphor and old wisdom, and she has an uncanny knack for seeing through surface-level behavior to the molten core of people's intentions. To those who have earned her trust, she is a blazing shield: stoic, intuitive, and unwavering in her protection.
That being said, Miophon's intensity cuts both ways. She holds grudges like tectonic plates hold pressure, and when the breaking point comes, her fury is swift, scalding, and nearly impossible to reason with. She struggles with detachment, often clinging to old relationships or ideas long after they've cooled into dead rock. Her pride runs deep and she does not take kindly to being questioned, and while she is not cruel, her sense of justice can be brutal. Miophon is a dragon of ancient tempers and primal instincts, and though she seeks understanding, she's still learning that not every problem can be solved by pressure, heat, or a well-placed cavitation.
