Terrible Terror

The **Terrible Terror** is a small Stoker Class dragon that lives in nearly all land habitats.

## Official Description

Although Terrible Terrors are one of the smallest known dragons, don't let their tiny stature fool you. These pesky creatures cause all sorts of problems, roaming in groups of five to upwards of ten, like pigeons. They also pack a pretty lethal puff of fire if you upset them.

## Physical Appearance

### Egg

Terrible Terror eggs are usually light green, though its color depends on that of the dragon inside, and is speckled with smaller spots. The egg can be called round but the shape of it is a little jagged and the roundness is not as smooth as other dragon eggs.

    Terrible Terror eggs are one of the few known dragon eggs to explode when hatching, just like the Gronckle. At first, the egg will begin to shake and crack, and suddenly it will explode, flinging molten hot shards everywhere.

### Hatchling to Adult

The Terrible Terror has an iguana-like body, two pairs of horns, one pair of wings, and a tail with a barbed tip. It comes in various colors, with green being the most common. Others are red, pink, yellow, and purple. Its physical attributes (such as the type of horn and spinal ridge) indicate that, despite the size difference, it is closely related to the Monstrous Nightmare.

## Abilities

### Firepower and Accuracy

    Terrors have a very strong and accurate fire attack. One could even argue they are the snipers of the Dragon World. It is said to have the best accuracy for fire bolts compared to most dragons but it is unknown how good compared to Night Fury.

### Strength and Combat

Terrors are very social creatures and can be found in packs most of the time. And though a single Terror cannot do much damage to an opponent, a whole pack is a different story. A pack of Terrible Terrors is a lethal threat that is best avoided. A pack of Terrible Terrors can easily lift up a full-grown human or steal food from a home.

Though being a small dragon compared to most other species, they are incredibly brave and will pick fights with bigger opponents if they have to, especially if it's over food.

### Jaw Strength

Terrors have quite sharp teeth and are able to bite off pieces of skin and even flesh from humans. Some Terrors have enough stamina to bite onto something for an entire day without letting go.

### Stealth

Terrors are known to be quite fast and stealthy, as they can easily steal food without anyone noticing. Additionally, there's the fact that Terrors often live secretly in people's homes.

### Singing

Terrible Terrors are known to have the ability to "sing," which is more accurately described as loud chirps, squawks, and growls, especially at dawn and during the night. They often sing when they gather in large groups, which prove to be quite annoying when people are trying to sleep and a flock of Terrors is singing outside their home.

### Intelligence

Terrors possess a high level of intelligence, as they are able to learn new skills in less than one day, such as retrieving specific items or attacking enemies on command.

## Weaknesses

    Although Terrible Terrors are strong in packs, lone Terrors are actually very weak and can be defeated by one fire blast. They also try to pick fights with dragons a lot bigger than themselves and this often doesn't end very well.

## Behavior and Personality

Terrible Terrors are shown to be very mischievous, as they like to play with humans and other dragons. They often travel in packs and they can be quite aggressive and over-ambitious. They tend to pick a fight with larger animals, though they mostly get defeated. Terrible Terrors are also very curious creatures and they can be found in unexpected places. They will eat just about anything they can digest, therefore can be found in any environment in The Claim.

Terrible Terrors are known to lick their eyes, not unlike some species of geckos, despite the fact that they have eyelids. They also often bob their heads up and down when fighting in a similar manner to how real life geckos fight in order to intimidate one another.

Terrible Terrors like to make a lot noise, with some specimens being able to "sing". They are also known to behave like hawks, as they stand on people's arms and can be used to send messages between islands.

Terrible Terrors do not mate for life, and will lay one egg per brood inside a tree trunk to keep the egg warm, since they lay their eggs in the early winter. Hatchlings grow unusually quickly, and will reach adult size in just a few months, and sexual maturity in a year.

## Training

    Terrible Terrors are very easy to train. Simply feeding one is enough to gain ones trust. As long as you prove to be of no threat to it, Terrors are easy and docile companions.

Terrors can be taught to perform various skills: delivering mail, retrieving items, firing and attacking on command, stealthiness, and even basic tricks like rolling over or "speak."
