Lore & Description

Appearance

This large green dragon has shimmering emerald scales that blend seamlessly with the foliage of the forest. Its eyes gleam with intelligence and malice, a perfect predator lurking in the shadows of ancient trees. The claws are long and sharp, while its wings, though massive, are surprisingly silent when it takes flight.

Behavior & Origins

Cunning and deceptive, the green dragon is a master of manipulation and intrigue. It often employs its intelligence to pit adventurers against one another or uses its magic to create illusions that confuse its enemies. Preferring to linger in dense forests, it takes advantage of its natural environment to execute ambushes. A cunning green dragon may collect treasures from its victims, particularly if they are shiny or magical in nature.
