Faerie Dragon

== Biology ==
Fairy Dragons are small reptilian creatures related to the Dragons. They are approximately the size of the average housecat. Faerie dragons have iridescent scales that alternate between reflecting the colors of the rainbow and a deep purple and butterfly wings that can take on any number of patterns and colours. They often ally with pixies, sprites, and other fey creatures in their forest homes, as well as any creature that shows respect and/or a connection to nature. They can often be found near a dryad's tree, or a nymph's lake, as they get along very well with such creatures. They are incredibly mischievous, and love to play pranks. They take great care though, to ensure the targets of their tricks are not put in any real danger. Faerie dragons feed on small prey such as insects, small rodents, small birds, and amphibians. They are less likely to eat "pretty" animals like hummingbirds, butterflies, or finch-gryphons, preferring to observe and play with these animals instead.
=== Reproduction ===
Faerie dragons do not mate for life.
Faerie dragon breeding is a flashy affair with both dragons (or large groups of them) using their breath weapons to work themselves into a frenzy. Other creatures wandering into the area are likely to become affected by the euphoric ecstasy and accidentally start breeding amongst themselves. Within 2 days of mating, faerie dragons typically produce 1-3 eggs about the size of a chicken egg and guard their nests viciously until their wyrmlings are old enough to fend for themselves. Eggs hatch in 90 days and are worth about 1000 GP each but must be tended by someone with significant skill to hatch and raise.
== Mannerisms ==
Faerie dragons are semi-intelligent animals with many characteristics of the true dragons to which they are related. They will often hoard shiny object and eat an equivalent of 1 CP of metal per week to avoid scale-flake. They can be loyal pets and Familiars, and often serve as mounts and guardians to small creatures like faeiries.
== Combat ==
A Fairy Dragon would rather lead intruders away than confront them directly. If forced into combat, a fairy dragon tries to confound and bewilder opponents. They would rather embarrass an opponent and have them leave with their heads in shame. It will only use its more powerful abilities such as its melee, and breath if its life or that of its allies are truly in mortal danger. However, Fairy Dragons despise undead with ever fiber of their being, and will without hesitation bring the full force of their powers to bear in an attempt to destroy them as fast as possible, not giving up the chase until the undead creature's final destruction.
==== Breath Weapon ====
A Fairy Dragon has two breath weapons, a cone of blinding light, and a cone of euphoria gas. They can only use their breath weapon 3x per day, but can choose between them at will.
== Notes ==
