Well that is one way to get a history lesson...

I can see some hakutaku emulating Meivia.

Got a bit of a treat for you guys too. Commissioned translations for a few parts of various enty making of articles that we never got a good translation for before. From google translate I could tell they had interesting info, and figured they deserved a proper translation, even if because of their origin they can't be posted on MGR and such.

>Hakutaku

伝承の白澤は身体に眼が沢山ついていたりするので、額に第三の眼がある他に、
毛の模様やアクセサリーの中央には眼の様なものが散りばめられています。
　完成verでは黄色くて丸い、ぼんやりとした光になっていますが、
怒ったり、戦ったりする時に本気になると、黄色い光の中に赤い瞳が現れてまるで眼の様になるそうです。
　基本的にのんびりおっとりした種族なので、そのシーンは滅多に見れ無さそうですが！

>The hakutaku of folklore has lots of eyes all over its body, so aside from the third eye on the forehead, there are eye-like things strewn in the center of the fur pattern and the accessories.

>In the complete version, they're yellow, round, and glow faintly, but I heard that if they're angry or fighting, or something, whenever they get serious, red eyes start to appear within the yellow light, so it's just like eyes. It's basically a laid-back and placid race, so I heard that scene can rarely be seen though!

>From Shoggoth:

なお、体中のいたるところに眼（見た感じはただの光る発行体）を持つ彼女達ですが、<br>
下腹部あたり・・・・すなわち子宮の位置にはハートマークの様な発行体があります。<br>
　どうやらこれは、自分の主人である男性に対して、愛や献身欲を感じた時、はたまた発情した際に一層強く妖しく光るのだとか…

>Furthermore, they have eyes all over their body (when you see them, they just give an impression like glowing luminous bodies), but around the lower abdomen... i.e, at the position of the womb, there's a luminous body like a heart mark. It seems that this glows much more strongly and alluringly whenever love and devotion are felt towards the man who is their husband or whenever they're wildly aroused, or whatever...

>From Dragon Zombie:

　理性が溶けおち、思考は生殖本能に基づいた単純なものになっていますが、実は知能や知識が無くなっているわけではないので、高い知能や生前に長い時を経て貯め込んだ知識が、そのまま男性を襲って子を成すために使われたりもするそうです。
　
>Their reason has melted away, and their thoughts have been reduced to simple things based on reproductive instinct, but actually it's not that they've lost their wits and knowledge, so I've heard that they employ their great wits along with all the knowledge they accumulated over their lengthy lifespan to attack men for the sake of producing children.

>And

　また、ドラゴン属共通の胸元の宝玉は、人魂の様にぼんやり光る魔力の球体に変わっています。

>Also, the jewel around the chest that the dragon family shares in common has changed into a sphere of mana that glows faintly like a disembodied soul.

So from this we learn some interesting stuff (I for one was surprised that its all the hakutaku's eye like ornaments that turn red instead of just her forehead eye), but it seems we still don't know what the chest jewel is for in regular dragons.

I need a better tutor. All she ever wants to teach me is anatomy.
