Draco Stellarum
The Draco Stellarum (known colloquially simply as "the dragons") are a species of carnivorous aliens from outside the Milky Way Galaxy. They were first discovered by the USS Columbia on stardate 239001.15.
In general they are roughly dragon-like in appearance, though their physiology is anything but dragon-like.
Biology
Puberty
Unlike most species puberty for dragons is not a process of attaining the ability to reproduce. Rather puberty is a rapid and often violent change from being a juvenile dragon to an adult.
Reproduction
Not much is known about dragon reproduction. However it appears that dragons do have a concept of parent (for example, Puncdor's mother) thus hinting at sexual reproduction.
Culture
Dragon culture starts and ends during "childhood." Here childhood is understood not to mean immaturity but rather a literal precursor to adulthood. For dragon culture the attainment of adulthood is tentamount to the death of the individual as a member of society and the promotion of that individual to the status of defender of the culture. The fully grown adult then becomes a carnivore and feeds on creatures referred to as "Evastock and the Korbastik." Nothing is known of these entities aside from their being mentioned by the Dragon Puncdor.
