The first thing Arlon did was check Nyx's stats.
As a Dragon, she already had better stats than humans.
His initial stats were like this:
***
Nyx (Level 1)
Race: Dragon
HP: 500
MP: 300
VIT: 25
STR: 20
INT: 22
AGI: 16
***
Except for her STR, every other was higher than what Arlon started with. Of course, if he wasn't a warrior, he would start with less STR.
So, a Dragon, even at level 1, was stronger than an average human.
But, now that she had leveled up, Arlon could see that not only her growth rate was high, but her stats scaled in a combat-oriented way.

Nyx (Level 4)
Race: Dragon
HP: 950
MP: 550
VIT: 50
