This creature appears as a dar-gray winged dragon. This dragon is much thinner than the normal type of dragon, which gives it its stealth abilities.
Dislikes ----- : Water: Although this creature is a superb swimmer, it is highly reluctant to enter into water, unless great need drives it. This creature hates being wet. Its distaste for anything other than a quick drink will always lead to it withdrawing on the wings of retreat.
Disposition - : Easily trained and befriended if gotten before, or just during, hatching. This can prove difficult, for the mother will most likely be present to protect her nest and/or young. If she has eggs/young she will hunt swiftly at night, returning protectively, and always suspiciously, to her children.
Fears -------- : Fire.
Habitat ------ : This creature is found warmer regions.
Immunities - : Fear, Pain, Poison (excluding Toxin Poison).
Life-span --- : 3 Ages (3,000 years).
Likes -------- : The thrill of the hunt. Will often times release a victim just to hunt it down again. As long as a victim proves to be a worthy chase, the dragon, if it is not hungry, will continue to hunt, capture and release its prey (as the common house cat toys with a mouse). When its victim is exhausted, it will keep it until it regains its strength. Then it will begin the cat and mouse game all over again. After its victim gives up, it will usually eat it.
Needs ------- : This creature needs the comfort of permanently warm regions to survive. If not within a permanently warm region, this creature will lose 1 damage-point per 24 hours until it dies.
Note --------- : None.
