These hatchlings love to travel, and rarely spend more than a few weeks around the castle. This makes it difficult to train them, but bonding is extremely necessary. Wild atrox dragons will attack anyone at a whim, and so it falls to magi to ensure this doesn't occur. The easiest way to gentle an atrox dragon hatchling is to follow it, and intervene whenever its temper overtakes it.

Atrox dragons are notoriously difficult to train, as they are extremely nomadic, prone to flying off for months at a time. It's impossible to convince them to remain in one area for long, as they are very proud creatures. Should they feel they are not receiving proper respect or attention, they will simply take flight. Atrox dragons are arguably the fastest of dragons, and most destructive. These companions used to burn whole villages to the ground, hunting for fresh meat and valuable jewels. They were considered great threats, and were often hunted. These dragons are very difficult to kill, with the surest method being drowning. Neither flames nor fire cause them any harm. Atrox dragons can shoot flame farther than other dragons, and skillfully direct it. Their entire bodies burn with the heat of their flames. Should one touch an atrox dragon, they'll likely be burned. A sick dragon will actually crawl into a fire, letting the flames nurse them back to health. These dragons are greatly attracted to fires, and lighting one will sometimes draw them in. As for what these creatures eat, they consume only meat. They refuse to be fed, either, but must catch their own meals. Even young atrox dragons refuse any offerings, and learn to hunt in a matter of days. These dragons dislike all plants, and no one has ever seen them drink water.
