The Fire Fury is a dragon species appearing in the Dragons: Rescue Riders series.

Physical Appearance:

Hatchling to Adult
Juvenile Fire Furies have a larger head size compared to body size. Their spiraling horns are smaller and not quite as twisted toward the back of the head as an adult's. The coloration is the same as an adult - a base color of red or orange and a bright white belly.

Adult Fire Furies are one solid shade of red, orange, or yellow, coupled with a white underside. They have two tightly spiraled horns on their heads, that twist behind them. The horns are typically a brick red that tapers to a lighter shade at the tips. They have two wings that are shaded a red, orange, or yellow color different than their main body color. The fins on their tails also follow the same color as the wings.

Abilities:

Fire Breath
Fire Furies can breathe balls or streams of fire that appear to make explosions once they reach the end of their range. The fire is likely very hot. The more Fire Furies that contribute to the blast, the more powerful it will be. When multiple Fire Furies contribute to the blast, it creates a orange and magenta explosion that creates a ring of orange fire and orange to white sparks, like fireworks.

Heated Glow
Fire Fury can make their horns and whole body glow from high heat. The glow starts in their chest and their horns, and ends up covering her whole body. It makes their skin hot enough to set fire to whatever they touches. The glow can also be used as a light source, as it lights up the nearby surroundings, allowing other dragons to see. When at full power, they leave a trail of sparks behind them as they fly. The fire can dissolve ice or snow.

Skull Horns
Shaped like Ram's or goat's horns, Fire Furies appear to utilize the horns on their skulls for pushing, bumping, and knocking things, including each other, similar to their usage by rams and goats. Fire Furies can banging their horns together in a playful manner, creating a metallic sound, suggesting their may be a metal component to the horns.

Fireproof Scales
Fire Furies have fireproof scales. When rubbed in a certain way against other objects, the scales are able to produce sparks. This is seen when Aggro scrapes the edges of her wings against the ground in "Where There's Smoke", leaving a trail of sparks and smoke, serving as a smoke screen.

Weaknesses:

Water
A Fire Fury's fire ability can be doused by a generous amount of water sprayed or dumped on them.

Cold
Young Fire Furies do not have fully formed pyroglands, making them extremely sensitive to the cold. A Fire Fury can be rendered nearly helpless if submerged into icy cold water, which renders the Fire Fury unable to breathe fire or fly, at least until it can externally warm up enough.

Illness
Like all dragons, a Fire Fury is prone to being infected by the Dreaded Dragon Flu. If they catch the sickness, they can overheat.

Behavior and Personality

Fire Furies tend to have stubborn and quick-to-anger temperaments. They are also protective, even of individuals from other species.

This species is migratory, and travels in flocks. This also demonstrates a very social nature. A separated Fire Fury will even stay with other species when alone.
