Stoneheart Dragon

*The story of the stoneheart dragon is a bit of gloomy tale. So it's told, the wizard Mort Encha was obsessed with creating the perfect potion to win the affections of his unrequited love interest. One day, a wand misfire caused several vials of failed potions to shatter. The amalgam of potions seeped through the dirt floor of Mort's hut and into the soil of his treat farm next door. Soon after, a wandering stoneheart dragon stopped to snack on Mort's potion-powered pumpermelon plants. Fortunately, aside from a harmless case of stonescale, the dragon was unharmed. Still, Mort felt so guilty about the accident that he never touched a drop of love potion again, and thus, sadly, he was never united with his true love. Valefolk say the stoneheart dragon's seemingly sad expression is an ode to poor ol' Mort*

### Habitats

### How to care for

The most crucial part of caring for a stoneheart dragon is deciding what dragons cohabit it with. Keeping it alone in a habitat is just sad, no only for the dragon but for guests who will feel the intense loneliness that the dragon feels. It is common knowledge to NEVER cohabit a stoneheart dragon with love or entwined dragons, and especially never a smitten dragon that is bonded with someone else. These habitat mates can cause stoneheart dragons to be irritable and even aggressive, either hogging food from habitat mates or even attacking and antagonizing them. Good choices to cohabit with the stoneheart dragon are sweetheart dragons, who will make the stoneheart dragon feel loved, and the melancholy dragon, who will sponge up some of the sadness of the stoneheart dragon. Some clever park owners have been known to breed smitten dragons and get them to first see the stoneheart dragon, causing them to bond with it. This way, the stoneheart dragon will never feel alone.
