***Pollen dragons** may be adorable, but rest assured these dragons can be quite the nuisance. They release a fine powder-like substance that is known to attract other dragons. Unfortunately, many people report being allergic to it. Guests that experience any symptoms should report directly to the Wizard Clinic. We've been assured that side effects of treatment only include being turned into the occasional frog.*
    —Nogard's description of the **pollen dragon** in The Book of Dragons
The **Pollen Dragon** is a hybrid dragon of the Plant and Air element. It's main element is Plant.

## Abilities

### Natural Weapons

**Pollen dragons** can release a small powder, which is very harmful to certain dragons with hay fever and about any wizard.

### Natural Defenses

The pollen offers protection too. If that isn't enough, it will rather flee.

### Other Abilities

Like all dragons that are part of the Air element, **pollen dragons** can fly effortlessly without breaks.

**Pollen dragons** are able to pollinate the food they eat, making them successful survivors.

### Breath Weapon

The **pollen dragon**, like most other Plant dragons, breathes breath enchanted with Chloromancy which lets plants grow faster.

### Weaknesses

The pollen is its only weapon, however most dragons are attracted by it. If it is attacked by a fast-flying dragon, it will probably not survive.

## Habitat

### Regions

The **pollen dragon** is known to live in the Cadberry Meadows, the Sykie Meadows, the Fields of Achoo and the forests behind the Scar of the World.

### Preferred Home

The **pollen dragon** prefers places with a lot of grass it can hide in. This is also helpful for pollination as the dragon travels a lot.

### Sheltering/Nesting

**Pollen dragons** travel so much that they do not build permanent nests. They hide in bushes instead.

## Lifestyle

### Behavior and personality

**Pollen dragons** are among the friendliest of dragons and get along with every Plant elemental, except perhaps a Nightshade Dragon or a grumpy Ash Dragon.

### Social Order

**Pollen dragons** may travel with friends, but most live a solitary life.

### Relationship to wizards

**Pollen dragons** are friendly to humans, but about 90% of the human population is allergic to their pollen and thus should stay away from them.

## Diet

**Pollen dragons** are herbivores and eat any type of plant. They pollinate the food they eat too.

## When in a park

### Breeding

This is a common breed and not hard to get. The Plant and Air elements are required.

### Habitats

The **pollen dragon** can only stay in Plant, Air, or Omnitats.

### How to care for

One must strengthen the invisible shields of the habitat to make sure not even the smallest pollen flies out for the safety of your visitors. The dragons themselves do not require much care other than the basic care for plant elementals.

## Life Cycle

### Mating

If two **pollen dragons** of the opposite gender meet each other during spring, and get along very well, they will remain mates for the rest of their life. Mates still travel separated after the child turns adolescent but will not wander too far away from each other and will meet each other again from time to time.

### Birth

The egg is carried by the mother and the pair will travel together until the egg hatches. The male brings food to the female and protects her.

### Infancy

An infant will travel with its parents and is protected by the male and fed by the female. When the infant is tired (most of the time) it is carried either on the female's back or on the male's shoulders.

### Adolescence

An adolescent **pollen dragon** leaves its parents to travel alone. It may never meet its parents again.

### Adulthood

An adult is more likely to travel with friends it met during its adolescence and can find a mate during spring.

### Life Span

Males can become 40 years old, females become up to 65 years.

## History

### Discovery

The **pollen dragon** was known for a long time, but was unable to be described as most people who tried were allergic to it. Luckily, the Plant Dragon Master wasn't allergic and described them and produced a medicine used in the Wizard Clinic for allergic people, however some people are even allergic to the medicine and have the side-effect of being turned temporarily into a frog.

### Origin of name

Of course, the **pollen dragon** is named after its trademark pollen.
