Name:
Silverscale Dragon
Appearance:
Silverscale Dragons can range from the size of a car to slightly higher than a double-decker bus. Their silver, metallic scales protect them from many environments, most particularly their preferred emvironment - the forest lands. These quadrapedal reptillian beings have horns akin to crystal that match their hue, and their dragonic wings tend to be twice their bodylength in terms of wingspan.
Behavior:
Silverscale Dragons are fully sapient and have their own will. However, they are still nature-dwelling beasts. Their prey includes Witherherb Beetles and various non-sapient ungulate species, primarily caribou or deer. They have a habit of hoarding treasure, mainly metals, gems and relics. While fully capable of flight, they prefer to dwell on the ground, for the land has more gems.
In general, Silverscales believe that adult humans are bad, but believe that child humans are alright.
Habitat:
They thrive in forest environments, usually near or in caves.
Strengths:
Silverscale Dragons have very tough scales rivalled only by diamond. They are capable of breathing flames and lightning from their mouths. As their scales are light, they have little difficulty performing powered flight with their large wings.
Weaknesses:
They are very shiny, big, and do not blend well with their environment, hence they are not good with stealth and camouflage.
Variants:
The Goldenscale Dragon was thought to be a very, very rare subspecies of this already very, very, rare species. However, it was discovered that the case Goldenscale Dragons are caused by a very rare mutation very akin to albinism. Think shiny Pokemon.
Other:
Silverscale Dragons are very rare. It is said that seeing one in the sky is a sign of good luck, or if you have offended them before, bad omen.
Goldenscale Dragons are seen the same way, with the addition of being worshipped like shooting stars - make a wish and it comes true, or so they say.
