Moses made use of a dragon crystal in the Dragon Followers' ceremony to reduce the amount of pain, torture, and danger.
The 300 chosen warriors felt the blood squirming into their skin via the pores, but they were unable to stop the Dragon's blood from seeping in.
They also shouldn't as the Dragon's blood would change the DNA of a creature.
A normal Dragon Follower would look like a Human as long as his DNA could be completely suppressed. The Dragon scales would only appear after transformation. However, a Dragon Follower would always have yellow-colored pupils.
When the DNA of the Dragon's blood gained precedence over the creature's DNA, he would become a monster. An example would be the handicapped Dragon Follower that William had encountered before. Besides the Human DNA being suppressed, even the battle energy and magic skills the human DNA possessed would be deactivated by the Dragon's blood.
