**Pink dragons** or the '***Animalia Chordata Xenosauria Squamadraco Occidentidae Tetrapa Rosea***'are a very, very rare subspecies of the red dragons whichare very, very rarely born to Red Dragon clutches but have enough numbers to count as their own species like their Red Dragon kin they also live in caves found in the mountains and hills. They can breathe a cone of bubbles that it uses to temporarily blind their prey and the largest specimens reach 15 meters, in addition to the standard fire breath of its red cousins but at a weaker scale. Their scales are a light pinkish color. To make up for their weakened fire breath they have the ability to intimidate other species with their magical draconic aura as a defensive mechanism.

## Physiology

* Physical
	+ Head
		- Featuring a reptilian head that could best be described as 'nubby'. They have multiple short and tapered-off horns upon their heads, the number of which increases with age, and point backward toward their spine.
	+ Aesthetics
		- Slightly smaller than their **Red Dragon** kin, they have enormous size and wingspan but are more timid preferring peace and quiet. They are quite dopey-looking for a dragon.
	+ Scales
		- **Pink Dragons** possess much softer scales than their **Red Dragon** kin, with nubs instead of spikes tapering off the scale, the scales provided a measure of protection for the dragon but not much at least they were waterproof.
	+ Smell
		- They have a soapy smell to them.
	+ Behaviors
		- Unlike their **Red Dragon** kin, **Pink Dragons** are quite shy especially when it comes to intelligent beings. They are willing to talk to intelligent beings but at the first sign of trouble are quite willing to use their abilities to escape. They like to tell jokes both to each other and to visitors to try and lighten the mood.
	+ Combat
		- Despite their decidedly ridiculous appearance, **Pink Dragons** were quite dangerous in combat and many dragon hunters fatally underestimated them because of their coloring. A **Pink dragon** would typically use their breath weapons and auras in combat before relying on its claws and teeth, viewing the act of getting close to a threat as dangerous.
