Slovenian Foxal

The **Slovenian Foxal** is a medium Stoker Class dragon that lives in magma pools and underground caves.

## Official Description

Like many Stoker Class dragons, the Slovenian Foxal rules its territory with an iron fist. Foxals gained their hostility through decades of being hunted. As a result, they hid away for a long time and assumed a new habitat. It was once thought to be extinct until it was recently found living underground. The Foxal has then since evolved to climb walls by extreme claw growth. As of now, the species is split between living in magma pools or underground caves.

## Physical Appearance

### Egg

The egg of a Slovenian Foxal is otherworldly in appearance - most would think it came from an alien creature. The egg is mainly violet in color, with a flame-like pattern on its soft shell. On the top are small antennae with luminescent bulbs at the ends. At the bottom is a jelly-like substance that keeps the egg stuck to whatever surface it is laid on, to prevent it from being stolen or moved.

### Hatchling to Adult

With an appearance strikingly similar to the creepy centipede, the Slovenian Foxal truly causes nightmares to those who see one in the flesh. Equipped with 7 pairs of legs, a poisonous pincer for a tail, six sturdy horns, and a muscular body, the Slovenian Foxal is much more than prepared to fight and defend itself.

## Abilities

### Firepower

With a methane based fire breath that reaches up to 1950°F, the Slovenian Foxal is able to cook its victims (preferably alive) in just a few seconds without any extra effort. Although short-range, their fire is truly something to fear.

### Strength and Combat

The Slovenian Foxal has a sturdy, muscular stature armored with thick plates, allowing it to tackle and batter other dragons or creatures into submission. They're able to take quite a few heavy blows before having to retreat.

### Venomous Sting

On the end of the Foxals tail is a venomous pincer, similar to the Giant Desert Centipede's tail. When stung by a Foxal, the victim's red blood cells will be attacked, and organ degeneration will ensue. Most stings will cause permanent damage, and in severe cases death.

### Disorienting Roar

When a Slovenian Foxal is backed into a corner, oftentimes they will let out a particularly distressing screech, causing any living thing nearby to lose focus and their hearing for a minimum of two minutes - giving plenty of time for the dragon to escape.

### Wall Climbing

Despite its weight, the Slovenian Foxal is able to climb walls by using their talons and the sharp claw-like structures on the ends of their legs, allowing them to hook onto many different crevices and surfaces.

## Personality and Behavior

Slovenian Foxals will become hostile to any human or dragon that crosses its path in order to assert its dominance. Endlessly aggressive, it will even actively seek out targets to battle with, and is generally assured victory when doing so.

Slovenian Foxals are not family-oriented, so as soon as a hatchling is born, the mother and father will almost always leave it to fend for itself.

## Training

As of right now, it is unknown how to train a Slovenian Foxal, or if they can be tamed at all.
