Upon reaching adulthood, Cardianon suffers severe physical and psychological alterations due to the genetic meddling of the Grigori. Most Cardianon suffers genetic regression, transforming into primitive Lizardmen similar to the form of their ancestors. The Cardianon are able to live alongside and control their regressed kin to an extent, although instances of Lizardmen fighting among themselves and even against the Cardianon are not unknown. Some Cardianon instead transforms into winged Dragon Newts and through subsequent evolution into gigantic Dragon-like beings. To the Cardianon the draconic form is an "ideal" to aspire to, offering great destructive power.
