Lookandscoff Dragon

The **Lookandscoff Dragon** is a hybrid dragon of Earth, Plant, and Aura elements. Its main element is Aura.

## Lore

Within the hallowed caves of The Vale lives a dragon possessed of truly lofty airs - the Lookandscoff Dragon. With gleaming scales and bejeweled horns, its haughty profile gazes down upon all lesser beings from atop its self-appointed throne.

Each coming morn, the Lookandscoff emerges with anticipation to pass scathing judgment upon its inferiors. It scours the streets, seeking any imperfection or misstep among even the mightiest beings. A carelessly dropped coin, a nick in legendary armor - all receive a piercing hiss and curled lip of disapproval.

Throughout the Vale, echoes of its sneering can be heard whenever someone dares transgress even the pettiest of etiquette. Its snoot remains perpetually turned up at a angle of the utmost disdain, it might even rival the already awful Snootroot Dragon's! All tremble to avoid incurring its withering criticism, desperately hoping to one day earn its fleeting validation. But none have yet satisfied its insatiable appetite for finding fault.

## Abilities

### Weapons

It doesn't dare to physically, or usually verbally, fight due to finding meddling with others (to whom most view as inferior to them) a [un]merry chase. But if absolutely needed, it usually does a bark more than a bite, a bark so mean that it'll scare even the toughest dragon away before a fight even ensues.

### Defenses

Its rough tongue and known criticism scares even the most feared dragon.

### Breath Weapon

Out its mouth are various gusts of colorful letters and exclamation marks resembling disparage. Wizards and witches have since developed magic that mute out the vulgar words that may be colored into its criticism, but eventually something mean may slip out.

### Weaknesses

It is hard to find a weakness to this dragon as it probably won't take the beholder seriously - but if someone as mean as the dragon challenges the dragon to a verbal fight of back-and-forth, its self esteem may diminish, but likely not in droves.

## Habitats

### Regions

It is generally speculated to have been living at hallowed caves at the heel of South Verulea, but has since been brought to the Vale in recent years after following the tracks of less fortunate or dirt-poor towns "waiting" for criticism and eventually reached the Vale. Scared for the dragon to find some way to take down the Vale, the wizards and witches out of fear welcomed it into the Vale.

### Preferred Home

It likes to stay solitary, but if it wants to stay in the Vale, so be it. But it generally likes to stay with Aura dragons as they usually keep to themselves, as well as the prettier Plant dragons that take care of themselves.

## Diet

***It has a very limited and specific diet.***

* Only the finest cuts of freshly slaughtered livestock, trimmed precisely to its exacting fat specifications and seasoned with only the most refined imported herbs and spices.
* Exquisitely rare squab still flapping on the platter, pecked to life only moments before serving. Anything less is apparently some sort of peasant fowl.
* Shellfish pried from the reefs by only the most meticulously vetted servant claws, presented live and flailing to assert freshness. It turns up its snout at any perceived delay between harvest and dish.
* Heirloom produce from venerable noble vineyards and orchards, with each bite rolled on the tongue to check for flawless ripeness. A bruised piece of fruit is an unacceptable affront.
* Crystallized nectar and pollens harvested at the precise astrological peak, macerated for moons in elusive potions to coax out the utmost subtle flavors. Mass market sweets will simply not do.
* Only the softest downy clouds, harvested individually whilst aloft, are suitable for such a distinguished gullet. Rain or humidity tarnishes their pristine texture and thus their worth as victuals.

## Lifestyle

### Behavior and Personality

Haughty, snobbish, and arrogant in all its actions. Constantly preening and adjusting its regalia to maintain elegant appearance. Scoffs, sneers, glares, and hisses at any it deems inferior. Has an air of aloof superiority and disdain for common folk and dragons, especially the Eww Dragon, Dargon Dragon, and the Motley Dragon.

### Social Order

Believes firmly in a strict social hierarchy with it at apex. Looks down on all other dragons as lesser beings. Only associates with other aristocratic dragons (eg. preferably Chromacorn Dragons, Rose Dragons, Daylily Dragons, Rainbow/Double Rainbow/Triple Rainbow Dragons, and Rainbow elemented dragons in general) and treats lower class dragons and folk with contempt. Doesn't acknowledge Gaia, Kairos, or Ts'aishen because it knows they are highly respected but ignores out of scorn.

### Relationship to Wizards

Only tolerates association with the most prominent archwizards, expects servile flattery and servitude from lesser magic folk, demands only the finest magical goods and services, will scoff at and belittle wizards for any incompetence, and grudgingly respects the most exemplary wizards but still sees them as below itself.

## History

#### Etymology

Its name comes directly from its infamous habits of looking down on others with a contemptous scowl/scoff. It continually looks around just for opportunities to negatively judge lesser beings.
