Some creatures are born of flesh and bone, others of sky or stone — but the Ashwelp (Draco cinis) is born of flame itself. Creature #16 of the Creaturepedia, this dragon–elemental hybrid emerges not from an egg but from the ashes of great calamities or sacred pyres. Frail in form yet radiant with ember-cracks beneath its ashen hide, the Ashwelp is a fleeting presence — fragile, elusive, yet heavy with myth.


Legends speak of Ashwelps as sparks of destiny, dragonlings whose fire has yet to awaken. To encounter one in the wild is said to mark a turning point: a foreshadowing of great change, or the promise of rebirth after ruin. Where soot gathers and embers glow, whispers claim an Ashwelp may soon rise.


Meet the Ashwelp: A Cinderborn Myth in Waiting

A soot-black dragonling with glowing ember cracks, fiery orange eyes, and smoke rising around it like a spark born from dying fire.

💛 Traits & Care


  • Temperament: Fragile, restless, quietly fateful

  • Sound: A faint crackle, like kindling catching flame

  • Favorite Pastimes: Circling fire pits, burrowing in ash, clinging to warmth

  • Special Quirks:

    • Shivers constantly, scattering soft cascades of glowing ash

    • Seeks out the scent of smoke, drawn to charred wood and embers

    • Folklore claims that, if left undisturbed, an Ashwelp may one day ignite into a full-grown dragon


Care Tip: Ashwelps must remain close to steady heat and ash-rich soil. Without warmth, their ember-light fades, and they collapse back into dust — leaving behind nothing but soot where legend once stirred.


🧩 Collectability


As the sixteenth entry in the Creaturepedia, the Ashwelp is prized less for its strength than for its promise. Collectors revere it as A Cinderborn Myth in Waiting — a fragile ember of destiny, treasured as much for what it may become as for what it already is.


🌟 Final Note


The Ashwelp reminds us that even the smallest spark carries the weight of possibility. Though fragile and fleeting, it holds within it the truth of fire: that from ashes, worlds can be reborn.
