Ravik's knowledge

Ravik suspects these to be Vocaliths, a kind of dragon that is inferior to what's considered the big three True categories (chromatic, gem, metallic). It was likely created by chromatic dragons at some point after the Wars, if not during them. By the size Trick described, the one(s) here is likely not that old, but barely an adolescent.
Ravik thinks they should be old enough to seek independence
Mind you, he's aware that them being young does not mean they should be a trivial threat to dispatch
Ruby Disciples opinion on these dragons: They are kind of like wild animals on steroids. So if they are in positions to be potentially dangerous to society, free game

Riga's Knowledge:

What Trick describes is most certainly a Vocalith.
Vocaliths are one of many draconic creatures birthed by chromatic dragons in their attempts to play god. Where Wyverns were created by Green dragons, Vocaliths have no specific credit to their creation.
They are said to draw energy from the elemental plane of Air, displaying it in the form of anatomically impossible flight, speed, and bursts of compressed air emitted from their mouths, commanding Thunder.
They are typically coastal, preferring perches upon small rock islands and abandoned structures such as boats, and feed primarily off of fishes that they disorient and flash-cook through the aid of their breaths, often barely diving underwater.
Though they prefer the aquatic life, it's not uncommon for them to choose homes inland, particularly if close to rivers such as the one that crosses through Nayora. These ruins might be one of multiple lairs they employ in the region.
Riga also knows they are intelligent, but not quite on the level of True Dragons. They are slightly above well-trained dogs or cats in that regard. ( meaning they should be able to utilize a hatch such as the one Trick described.
They are not necessarily evil, but they will not hesitate to attack travelers if hungry
The closest thing to a weakness would be that they thrive in wide open spaces, so facing them in the building might prove advantageous, but also leaves you prone to being crowded and easily hit by their breaths.
Their mental fortitude is overall middling, you know their intelligence isn't the best. Natural predators... Most likely bigger chromatic dragons, sea monsters?
