## Official Description

### Hatch

This Hatch’s protective instinct is strong.

### Hatchling

This Hatchling has powerful toxic properties.

### Adult

It is a Poison Dragon that poisons the river water.

Poison River's skin is always emitting poison. Its body fluids and breath also contain toxic substances. Since its entire body is made of toxic substances, it is dangerous to even approach it, let alone touch it. If you touch it with your bare hands, your entire body becomes paralyzed and you cannot move for a long time. It is very timid and lives quietly in calm waters. It does not enjoy meeting dragons or humans so it leisurely appears and disappears in places with few people. It has a strong protective instinct, so if unexpected contact occurs, it spreads poison in an instant and quickly disappears. Poison River hates blood the most. If it smells the blood of any living creature, whether it is dragon blood, human blood, or any other living thing, it is judged to be dangerous and immediately poisons the river water. Poison River uses its poison to protect itself, but also to secure food from the river. When it sees a delicious meggison, it approaches and paralyzes it with poison before eating it.

## Story

### Strong Protective Instinct

It was often the case that someone was found paralyzed by the river. Among humans and dragons, the creature was called "The Ghost Poisoner". This is because no one had seen the creature, and even person that woke up after being healed had no memory of what happened to it.

Poison River rather enjoyed the nickname given to it.

The river it liked to go to had the sign 'Danger!' This is because a sign saying 'There is a Ghost Poisoner!' has been put up, and there are almost no people around.

Even if there was a sign, there were bound to be dragons or Tamers that came. Every time that happens, Poison River sticks its head out of the water and flashes its big eyes. It was a warning of its own making. Nevertheless, there were some who dared to enter the river, and no further warning was given to them.

## Evolution

### Egg

Its an egg with tentacles.

The four tentacles move slowly. Even as an egg, a small amount of poison is always released from the eggshell or tentacles, so Tamers should care for the egg with gloves on and not bare hands. It doesn't want to be touched, so leave it alone. It feels happy and wave its tentacles when placed near water.

### Hatch

It has a strong protective instinct from the time it hatches.

Fear is visible in its big golden eyes. It is very shy and does not move quickly. It opens its eyes wide and look around. It emits venom and shows strong protective instincts. It prefers to be in the water rather than on land, so it just lazily floats around alone in the water. It gets out of the water from time to time to check the situation outside.

### Hatchling

This hatchling has powerful toxic properties.

It always emits poison from its entire body. It hates being touched so much that it covered its entire body with poison to prevent anyone from coming near it. Its body fluids and breath also contain toxic substances, making it dangerous to even approach it. Poison River is covered in poison both inside and out and is extremely dangerous. You should watch it from a distance, or create a safe environment and leave it alone in the water. If you add meggison, it will eat on its own.

### Adult

It has a powerful poison that prevents anyone from approaching it carelessly.

Whether dragons or humans, it is reluctant to contact and interact with them. It always want to be alone. Even if it doesn't act threateningly, it will paralyze you with poison if you approach it at a certain distance. It is very dangerous to be bitten by a Poison River when it is in the water. If a single drop of its blood enters the water, the surrounding area becomes stained with poison, and its poison also seeps into wounds, making it difficult to heal. There is no cure for wounds caused by Poison River's toxins.
