Okenite Dragon

* Juvenile
* Baby
* Egg

*The **Okenite Dragon** is not to be confused with the cotton dragon, although both share characteristic, fluffy white tails. In fact, if you were to pet an **Okenite Dragon**, you might be surprised to find that it isn't fluffy at all! Its pointy, crystalline skin makes it closer in texture to a cactus dragon -- which doesn't stop the **Okenite Dragon** from trying to nuzzle visitors. Better to admire from a distance.*
