Typhoomerang

The **Typhoomerang** is a large Stoker Class dragon that lives in dense forests.

## Official Description

A forest dwelling dragon of immense size, the Typhoomerang is known for its spinning fire cycle and its dramatic nature. With their large horns, massive wingspan, and their ability to disrupt vertical air pressure while exhaling flames to create fire tornadoes, the passionate and hot-tempered Typhoomerang has quickly asserted its position into the dragon hierarchy.

## Physical Appearance

### Egg

The color of a Typhoomerang's egg determines what color the dragon will be. The egg is rather unique, as it has swirls all over its surface.

### Hatchling to Adult

Typhoomerangs are very large dragons, and they come in a variety of colors covering the whole spectrum. They have two large horns and orange eyes. They look like a mix-breed of a Monstrous Nightmare and a Timberjack.

## Abilities

Contrary to most dragon species, Typhoomerangs have fully developed traits and abilities by the time they reach 6 months old.

### Firepower

The Typhoomerang's fiery breath resembles a giant tornado that can burn anything in its path except for those that remain right in the middle of it. A single shot of these flames spread continuously for several seconds, and reach hundreds of meters from the dragon's mouth.

    Typhoomerangs can launch into the air and fire their flames in a spiraling manner, which they use to surround and trap foes and potential prey. The flames spiral closer and closer until they eventually engulf and scorch the target.

Typhoomerangs are also able to cloak themselves in a veil of flames, similar to how Monstrous Nightmares cover themselves in flames, and perform a drill-like lunge towards their foes.

### Sparkle Shower

    Typhoomerangs are also able to emit a shower of sparks from both their mouths and backs. The display is almost as dazzling as fireworks, and can be produced during flight, by adults as well as juveniles. These sparks leave burn marks in the ground, which may reveal how old the dragon is, how big it is, and where it went — similar to the rings in a tree.

### Strength and Combat

Typhoomerangs possess immense strength, which combined with their large size and weight make them one of the strongest non-Alpha dragons known. They can stop forest fires with the flaps of their massive wings, and uproot trees simply by walking into them. They can also effortlessly carry large dragons such as Hideous Zipplebacks on their backs while showing signs of strain or effort.

Typhoomerangs use their Stoker Class temperament to attack foes and use their size, strength, and relentlessness to outfight most opponents. They use their massive wings to both cause huge gusts of wind, as well as forming shields to protect them from most attacks.

### Speed and Agility

Typhoomerang's have great speed and reflexes, capable of even taking the most attentive dragon by surprise. As adults, they are fast enough to be able to steadily pursue even the fastest dragons, such as Night Furies.

Typhoomerangs are quite flexible, sharing similar stature with the Timberjack. Typhoomerangs are perfectly able to fold their huge and powerful wings together.

### Endurance and Stamina

Typhoomerangs are capable of surviving crashing into multiple obstacles without much injury and are capable of enduring multiple shots and physical attacks from other dragons, such as Singetails and Hideous Zipplebacks.

Typhoomerangs are capable of relentlessly pursuing their targets for long periods of time, showing no sign of fatigue or muscle strain.

### Eel Consumption

Being immune to Eel Pox, Typhoomerangs are able to consume eels without suffering any of the ill effects caused by the Pox, making them one of the few species capable of eating eels.

### Ash Fertilizer

A Typhoomerang's flames leave scorch marks on the ground, which apparently increase the fertility rate of the surrounding ground, enough so as to stimulate increased plant and thus flower growth in the area.

## Weaknesses

Due to their large sizes, adult Typhoomerangs have trouble making sharp or sudden turns while in flight, needing more time to coordinate their moves, with failure to do so often resulting in their crashing into nearby obstacles or landing prematurely.

Their spiraling jets of flame are tornado-like in structure sporting a non-fiery center, which grows along with the flame the further it gets from the Typhoomerang. This opening can eventually get large enough for medium dragons such as Starlights and Riverside Serpents to fly through.

## Behavior and Personality

Typhoomerangs are high strung, hot-headed and passionate dragons, and are extremely protective of their offspring and rather territorial. They use their spiral jets of flame to mark their territories, or as mating displays. Typhoomerang younglings tend to grow up very fast. Typhoomerangs tend to sleep and rest in caves and caverns that litter their forest home. Also like most dragons, they protect smaller creatures by folding their wings tightly into a cocoon-like casing. When hunting for food, Typhoomerangs use their flame vortex to trap and kill prey. In addition, Typhoomerangs have been known to hunt for aquatic prey (eels in particular) by skimming the water's surface and snagging their catch with their mouth.

## Training

Training a Typhoomerang is easiest when the dragon is young. As a baby, they are rather impressionable and trustworthy. However, if one manages to successfully catch its attention and prove that they are of no harm, the Typhoomerang will slowly bond with them.

## Trivia

* Typhoomerangs apparently grow very fast, able to become a fully grown adult in only a few months.
* The Typhoomerang's ability to fertilize soil with its scorch marks is similar to how new trees are able to grow after a forest fire.
