The Dragoons

The source of the Wyrm monsters that inhabit the planet of Draconus was from the dragoons. The dragoons was a cult/society that worshipped the dragons and treated them as ultimate beings. The creator of this cult was a mentally ill scientist who conducted very a controversial study; it consisted of infusing beings with wyrm blood. This ultimately transformed them in to monstrosities and replaced some traits of the original being with wyrm or dragon like traits. This traumatically changed the being from stable, to an unstable one with extremely hostile tendencies.

One of the most common wyrm monsters is a wyrm wolf, none of them look the same and are extremely deformed. Some wyrm wolves were able to adapt to the blood and were strengthened by it and adapted more dragon like features, consisting of horns, scales, and spikes along the spinal cord. While most of them consist of just muscle, with little or no skin at all leaving them very vulnerable and require to use tactics and instincts from their previous life. They generally travel in packs and utilize their preys weaknesses to attack; much like a typical wolf. However, even the "weaker" ones are substantially stronger than their natural counter part.

This scientists research eventually tread upon Draconians; thus they became the dragoons. It took him years to finally experiment and toy with this idea and when he finally decided to execute it, he used his own body. Since he was the first rat to experiment on, he failed... He crippled himself, his body did not adapt to it very well. He documented his changes and decided to find more specimens...  He kidnapped people throughout his village, and even neighboring cities to seek perfection of this art, and he eventually succeeded. He then started this disgusting cult and required each member to be transformed... He had very few followers, but he eventually started to brain wash and trick people in to joining.

A dragoon who adapted to the change was better than a typical Draconian in every way. The dragoon is faster, stronger, more cunning, and is able to utilize its own deformities (claws, horns) as weapons. It seemed like the perfect race was created, however, the scientist did not get very far with the cult. Nero Kirbus and his party found them on his quest to slay the dragons simply vanquished them single handedly.

Even after they were slain, the wyrm monsters numbers did not dwindle. The scientist was wicked enough to develop machines that were strewn upon the wilderness of all of Draconus; these machines were able to transform the animals in to these wyrms. The locations of these devices seemed to be the locations of the dragons that Ninko Kirbus slayed. The machines emitted a gas throughout the areas they were placed, in turn the natural wilderness nearly became extinct.

The great figures of the planet were baffled at how a single scientist was able to nearly destroy such an eco system and began to question if it truly was just him... However, the evidence only showed it was this one scientist, but it he was studying wyrm blood infusion for decades before it became evident.
