Steven Erikson: Here's a secret truth -- I don't like fantasies all about dragons. Never did. Or, more precisely, I don't much like what's been done to them to date. They're not horses, dammit! And I'm not a fan of the AD&D version, either. I never bought breathing fire or any other technically absurd ability. It strikes me (and maybe not with any claim to originality either) that a dragon can only exist via the essence of magic. That's how they fly. That's how they attack. And, by extension, that's how they think and see the world. Thus far, we've been on the edge. They're always busy doing their own stuff. At the same time, they will become much more relevant later in the series. Hopefully in an original way.(Q and A with malazanempire No 2 (2003))
Mappo : 'Within the dragon is the heart of the warren itself, its well-fount of power'. (BH UKTpb, p.193)
Endest Silann on Silanah : 'For the Eleint to remain so, virtually motionless, day and night, weeks into months and now very nearly an entire year, was not unusual.' (TtH)
Spinnock : 'There had been a time, after all, when Anomander Rake had warred against the pure-blood dragons. When such creatures broke loose from their long-standing servitude to K’rul; when they had sought to grasp power for themselves.' (TtH)
Olar Ethil: The blood of the Eleint resists the fever of D'ivers. A ritual would have been necessary (DoD)

The Drinking of Eleint blood
Smiling, Kadagar stepped past Iparth. “Kessobahn still breathes?”
“Yes. It is said it can bleed for centuries –“
“But the blood is now poison,” Kadagar said, nodding. “The wounding must be fresh, the power clean. Thirteen, you say. Excellent.”
The Nature of Eleint
“Bones and not much else,” Cotillion muttered.
“Do not be fooled,” Edgewalker warned. “Flesh, skin, they are raiment. Worn or cast off as suits them. See the chains? They have been tested. Heads lifting … the scent of freedom.”
Cotillion : “Eloth,” he said, “I would hear your voice.”
‘Shall we bargain again, Usurper?”
The voice was male, but such details were in the habit of changing on a whim.
