Fell Dragon

The Fell Dragon of the Shattered lands is a large Earth Fairy that stalks the lands in and around the massive plant lifeform Skorina. The fairy lives its life as a feral dragon, hunting and nesting in the lands dominated by the plant. Fell Dragon seems to recognize that Skorina and it are in a symbiotic relationship: Skorina provides the lands and prey for Fell Dragon, and Fell Dragon exists as the champion of Skorina, being summoned to rebuff An attempts to clear cut Skorina away from their lands when its natural defenses aren't enough. Thankfully for nearby settlements, unless Skorina is attacked, Fell Dragon seems content to live its life within the territory of the massive plant.
The Fell Dragon appears as a large dragon-like creature about three times the size of a normal Dragon, which is otherwise the largest land or aerial animal in Devidica. Fell Dragon, unlike true dragons, is covered in beautiful, shimmering fur that can look green, orange, golden or red depending on the angle of light hitting it. The ends of its limbs and the outer lining of its wings are striped with dark brown streaks, which helps to camouflage the massive being while it stalks the land on foot, and dazzles An incursions with the contrast of its sparkling fur and black bands when it expands its wings in flight. Parallel rows of boney protrusions line its back, resembling the antlers of deer tipped in a rusty red colors. The end of its tail has long iridescent feathers that follow a cooler blue, purple, green, pink color scheme that contrasts its hot-colored fur. Its claws and teeth appear like pitch black obsidian razors.
Its unknown if the Fell Dragon is sentient, or completely feral due to its isolated nature. It appears to follow some degree of decision making, as it never ventures from its territory to hunt livestock of nearby settlements that would otherwise be easy pickings for the massive beast. It makes its nest somewhere near the core of Skorina which is encased by a woody thicket of spear-length razor sharp spines to deter other animals. The core of its nest is a glade of long, soft grass and moss which shows that Skorina seems to acknowledge or be aware of the Fell Dragon's contribution to existence, and has repaid the fairy with accommodations. 
While the Fell Dragon's interactions with other animals is fairly easy to observe as a predator-prey relationship, its interactions with An are most famous. Its swooping attacks alone are enough to decimate large groups of men with sweeping claws and ruthless tail swipes. It does not roar like a dragon, but instead produces a sound similar to a songbird. It exhibits magical abilities ranging from raw bursts of earth-aligned magic and conjuring arboreal barriers or bringing plant life to life with enchantments to hinder or harm aggressors. Despite its antagonistic nature, the Fell Dragon is not innately hostile to people. While people are viewed as food by the dragon, if it is not hungry, or stalking other prey, it can be observed or even interacted with in limited capacity. Because of its massive size, it can often be seen far in the distance from common trade roads as its shinning wings flap through the air and catch the light of Corris.
