The Rajski Drac ¹  are creatures that inhabit the nebulae and have a very elongated body composed of the same material as the nebulae where they are. Their head is very similar to that of a dragon and they have prominent mustaches. Like Rajski Ptak, Can dissipate in interstellar dust and gas when they do not want to be discovered, but unlike them, the Rajski Drac has a different attitude about who looks at them and seeks to be found but only when they do.

The Rajski Drac are haughty and tall creatures. They do not leave their nebulae unless their life is in danger, in these cases they venture out of them to feed themselves. His method of feeding is a little special: when two beings share information, the Rajski Drac perceive a flow of energy from which they can feed from it without this changing the flow. That energy from which they feed comes as radiated towards the Rajski Ptak who does not have to open his mouth or make any movement. Just stay still. When they are fed they feel a well-known satisfaction, which leaves them happy and good mood for several days, although this also depends on how much they have eaten. Despite the few living beings that the Rajski Drac can find in a nebula, they do not abandon it.

This apparent contradiction conditions the Rajski Drac's way of being and society. The Rajski Drac are grouped around communities that are in contact respectively and all coordinated by a council, which changes in each nebula. This council is responsible for managing and storing the raw information according to various criteria: Subject, quantity, extension, place, etc ..., also Rajski Drac information, both inside the city and abroad. Information that some Rajski Drac do not know about others may fluctuate at will, and would feed them for years if need be.

On certain occasions, the Rajski Drac send a member of the community to another nebula, in order to gather information from the Rajski Drac of that nebula. Called "freighters of secrets" by their people, they are acclaimed on their return as heroes. They are granted an audience with the council to deal with the affairs of the other nebula. The lucky ones are usually chosen from the crowd, to inspire a sense of participation by the whole people.

The Rajski Drac have spread over several Planes of existence throughout their history, giving rise in each to variations of the species. The most common species has a golden appearance, which changes to turquoise blue when it feeds. There are also varieties of White Rajski Drac, Black Rajski Drac and Rajski Drac Stalker.

The common Rajski Drac spend their time navigating the edges of the nebulae where they live and, thus, revealing their presence. A few act as "oracles" for races that reach the nebula for information. The latter are the ones known by the majority, and the specimens from which ordinary people who know them form an idea of them. This impression is usually that of contemplative creatures who only seek to bestow knowledge through their divinations. Although the truth is somewhat different. Due to their governments and the council, the Rajski Drac have to keep secrets and get more information than they lose with the oracles (which only feed the Rajski Drac present there).

The Rajski Drac White, Black and Stalker are minor species that are not grouped in communities, but in herds. These are based on opportunistic beings who do not use long-term planning to benefit. Because of this they have developed abilities such as stalking, which the common Rajski Drac do not use. Being less advanced, they have difficulty feeding themselves, which has made them watch over their survival, sometimes reaching the extremes that make their golden cousins treat them with contempt. The White Rajski Drac receive sustenance only if the flow of information passes through them, so they have acquired skills to resize (and place themselves in the space between the two Interlocutors). The Black Rajski Dracs change hunting grounds continuously, as the flow of information from which they feed is weakened and may eventually become extinct. The Rajski Drac Stalkers are beings hated by Sabiduría (a Magnífico), since these primitive beings are able to leave the outer space to annihilate the information that  other beings transmit to themselves in their own planets.

Recently Common Rajski Drac have left rumors that they are the benefactors of the Lúminei Prymeros, but this "timely" information is not confirmed.

In the picture two Common Rajski Drac appear, one speaking (golden), and another coiling around a beam of information (blue).


*¹: Its name comes from the same language with which the Rajski Ptak were named, so they have the word Rajski: "of the nebulae", and the word Drac: a word made spanish that "casually" happens to be the cognate of dragon. They are also called in many other ways, such as the nebulae Lindworm, the Nebula Serpentine Dragons, and the Chinese Nebula Dragons; Influenced by those who call him, no doubt, by the attitude of these wisdom givers.
