Oh totally! Some have more meaning than others, but body modifications are very common. You usually see Kuros decorating themselves for festivals and celebrations the most, doing as far as draining their colors, adding colors, etc. Here’s some~
- Kuronium Carving – A Brokt tradition of carving live bone such as horns, tale spades, etc. which can be very, very painful. The bone can appear different colors by carving crevices deeper and carving with unique tools that can make the bone reflect and appear different colors (this technique is the most painful and most don’t go this far; older Brokt often do). Dyes and stains are also used, but aren’t permanent. Holes be included!
- Kuronium Piercings/Modifications – While only Shire are naturally born with Kuronium markings, it’s common for other Kuros to get markings welded to their scales (or, embedded depending on scale type of individual). These vary in size and are done for cosmetic purposes the most.
Precious jewels and metals of all kinds are often melded to a dragons horns and scales. Dragons that often loose scales will have false ones put in.
Brokt, being the hardcare Kuros they are, also have piercings that go through nostrils, jaws, wings, and through tails.
- Scale Carving – Similar to horn carving, some Kuros have their scales meticulously carved with patterns, runes, etc. These can be painted during ceremonies to really make a dragon pop out.
- Gifting – Dragons will sometimes remove parts of themselves to give to other dragons. Bits of horns, feathers, fur, braids woven into the manes of others, etc. In the same sense, many dragons do this to honor fallen friends, family, idols, etc. with their remains.
- Scale Polishing – Wealthier dragons with servants and slaves will often have them polish their scales. Polishing them sometimes with spells such as glittered, non-reflective, glow in the dark, oil-slick, etc types.
- Color Draining – Often done for Mahourian festivals, or Skydances that require coordination. These spells last only a few hours if that, but they drain every pigment in a dragon’s scales and membranes.
