Streakwyrm

Streakwyrm are a unique race of Drakes that are best known for their lack of a true maw, and unique use of extreme speed and durability to hunt thier prey. They possess no true dragonbreath, instead using their "breath" to accelerate and manuever themselves at extreme speeds.

Life Cycle
Streakwyrm possess a very long lifecycle, with a lifespan more similar to True Dragons than that of common Drakes. Their eggs are cylindrical in shape, and often are common in color to their enviroments.

Infancy
When first born, wyrmlings have mouths as per a normal dragon. Already their snouts are stubby and sturdy looking, and their bodies aerodynamic. Within hours of birth, they take to the skies in hunt of their first prey, often insects and small birds. Hatchlings are betweeen 25-40 cm long, with their infancy stage taking them up to around 1 meter long.

Juvenile
Juvenile wyrmlings begin to hunt down larger prey, and after they have their first game kill, a biological switch goes off and they never open their mouths again. Juvenile wyrmlings are range in length from 1-3 meters. Some streakwyrm are able to break the sound barrier at this age category, however not all are so adept or prepared to hunt at such extreme speeds.

Early Adulthood
When entering adulthood, Streakwyrms are getting to the height of their power and influence. Anywhere from 4-14 meters long, these behemoths hunt their prey at supersonic speeds, using thier mass, speed, and incredible durability to nearly vaporize their foes from their swift charge attacks.
