*Legend has it that Sidd Arthur, a privileged nobleman turn wandering wizard, once rested under the wings of a **lotus dragon**. Upon awakening, Sidd was famished. Having no food, he attempted to transmute some local wild flowers into a snack. Sadly, the result was unpalatable. To his surprise, though, the **lotus dragon** snapped them up! Thus, Dragon Snaps were invented!*
    —Nogard's description of the **lotus dragon** in The Book of Dragons
The **Lotus Dragon** is a hybrid dragon of the Water and Light elements. It's main element is Water.

## Abilities

### Weapons

The tail of the lotus dragon can spray a yellow gas that temporarily stuns those hit.

### Defenses

The flowers and skin of the lotus dragon have paralytic properties when eaten, so it has few predators, except those who have learned how to pull of the skin before eating the flesh.

## Habitat

### Regions

Lotus dragons live in places full of plant growth, preferably with some water too. Most of them live near Nes Lake and Lake Kes, but there are also some on small islands in The Crimson Sea and near the lake in The Great Forest. Occasional individuals are also seen in the Drag Marshes.

### Preferred Home

Lotus dragons prefer to stay near or in water.

## When in a Park

### Breeding

A lotus dragon can be bred with any two dragons when the elements Light and Water are contributed.

### Habitats

Lotus dragons prefer Water habitats, though they can also thrive in Light habitats and Omnitats.

### How to care for

Lotus dragons do not require special care, though they must be hydrated with a bucket of water every day when placed in a Light habitat.

### Favorite Treat

Lotus dragons have developed a preference for Dragon Snaps since the day Sidd Arthur discovered this new type of treat, which happened even before The Dark War.

## History

### Origin of Name

Lotus dragons are named for their flower's striking resemblance to actual lotus flowers.

## Magic

Lotus dragons have control over Luximancy, Hydromancy, and Phytomancy. Some wizards speculate that the lotus dragon's poisonous skin is a result of Venomancy, but these claims are unproven.
