The term "hybrid" was used to describe Vaelion (the firstborn son of Kareth and Elaria) because he inherits traits from both of his parents, who are dragons aligned with different elemental forces:
---
🔥 Kareth – Fire Dragon
Breathes fire (sunfire-class)
Crimson-scaled, heat-immune, power-focused
Comes from a lineage of ancient fire dragons
💨 Elaria – Wind Dragon
Controls air currents and pressure
Graceful, light-bodied, swift flyer
Descendant of peaceful sky dragons
---
🔥💨 Vaelion – Fire & Air Hybrid
Why Hybrid?
He is the genetic and elemental mix of a fire dragon and a wind dragon. As such, Vaelion displays:
Dual elemental abilities: Fire breath with wind manipulation
Physical features from both lines: Flame-tipped wings (fire), aerodynamic build (wind)
Temperament fusion: His father's fierceness and his mother's free-spirited agility

Hybrid doesn't mean he's a different species—he's still a dragon. It means he's the product of two distinct dragon elemental lineages, giving him blended traits rather than a single-element identity like his siblings (Myraxa = wind, Thorne = fire).
