Given the distinct characteristics of most of dragon-kind, the existence of Hydrogen dragons is a hotly debated topic among dracologists, some argue that the creatures called Hydrogens are not dragons at all but rather some unusual form of sea serpent or snake. However, until a kind of Hydrogen is found which conforms to the template, those who disagree with the naming of the creatures have little choice but to accept it.

Hydrogen dragons are an unusual breed, the gelatinous eggs are laid in typhoons during the hurricane season to be spread throughout the ocean. Early in life they are little more than sea serpents, unintelligent and voracious.

Once they reach adolescence they begin to grow extremely quickly, putting on as much as a foot of length in a single day. However, the most unusual thing that happens is that during this growth spurt is that they begin to grow massive amounts of excess skin, enough to cover themselves ten or fifteen times over. During this time their appetite increases to truly legendary proportions; a Hydrogen dragon has been known to eat an entire whale in a single day, and will happily eat the same again the next day.

What happens next is a mystery, for they dive deep into the ocean and do not surface again until they are fully grown.

A fully grown Hydrogen dragon is a truly enormous creature, dwarfing all other breeds in terms of volume. However, they are unbelievably light for their size, swimming through the air like a fish through water. Known to follow storm clouds, there are accounts of them deliberately getting struck by lightning, though determining the purpose of this has proven difficult. According to other sources, a Hydrogen deprived of lightning will eventually sink to the earth and will be unable to fly until struck again.

Hydrogens produce a blinding flame which is believed to be used in mating rituals, though these take place inside of storm clouds and are rarely seen anywhere else.

They are notoriously difficult to hunt, given the altitudes they live at, though it is possible to find one that has been downed by bad luck. Even after finding one there is little to gain from them beyond a large amount of extremely tough leather. The gas inside of their hides escapes through the smallest puncture and should it be exposed to a flame a large explosion will result. 

If sufficiently startled they will produce a brilliant flame of sufficient force to launch them several hundred meters into the air, though reports of this ability should be considered anecdotal at best.
