***Meteor dragons** rocket across the skies making them nearly impossible to study. The wizards hatched a plot to hide by a patch of Sarjin Peppers, **meteor dragons'** favorite treats. After much research and a fair share of failed experiments, the wizards have found a way to attract and keep a **meteor dragon** in your park. Fun fact: In the wild, the **meteor dragon** is often followed by a sonic dragon.*
