Shockproof Dragon

*It is SHOCKing how blinding lightning is proven to be... Luckily, **shockproof** is in the Vale to protect the wizards! What made it shock proof you may ask? According to Whitbee, it all started with a bang! Up there in the Frozen Highlands of the North mountains, snowy storms at high altitudes were making everything so appalling for Whitbee.. All of a sudden the deafening crackle of thunder stunned him. With the blink of an eye, an apocalyptic picture unravelled! Lightnings everywhere, piles of snow covering the ground..... it was scary! With its little legs, **Shockproof** rushed into the open and was Hit by, Struck by a smooth... Lightning Strike. This resulted in unique appearance and got it this amazing name. Shocking, right?*
    —Nogard's description of the **Shockproof Dragon** in The Book of Dragons

The **Shockproof Dragon** is a rare golden hybrid with the elements Cold and Lightning. It's main element is Cold.

## Abilities

### Weapons

The shockproof dragon's hooked claws are awfully sharp and can serve as an effective weapon in a fight. When backed into a corner, the shockproof dragon can discharge all the electricity it's absorbed from it's body as a last resort, although this is a highly risky maneuver as it leaves it hungry and without electricity.

### Defenses

The shockproof dragon's body is almost always charged with electricity. Touching it can give you a nasty static shock, and touching the glowing tendrils around it's neck and tail could outright electrocute you.

### Other Abilities

The shockproof dragon is, well, shockproof; it's body draws in electricity like a highly effective lightning rod and absorbs it into itself. It's also incredibly fast, likely do to all the electricity it absorbs.

### Weaknesses

If the shockproof dragon hasn't eaten in a while (or if it's been hit with a Grounding Spell), it'll be significantly slower and won't be able to use it's electricity to attack, greatly weakening it. The shockproof dragon also can't absorb electromancy spells as effectively as it can absorb mundane electricity, possibly do to it not being equipped to absorb magic.

## Diet

Shockproof dragons don't eat more so then they charge; in the wild, absorbing electricity is all they need to nourish themselves, with shockproof dragons being the first reported electrovore to not originate from The Rift. This only raises more questions regarding thunderbird dragons. That being said, when there isn't a thunderstorm happening and their charge is running low, shockproof dragons will photosynthesize sunlight to sustain themselves.

## When in a park

### Breeding

Shockproof dragons can be bred using any combination of dragons containing both the Cold and Lightning elements, although being golden hybrids, they're a rarer result.

### Habitats

Shockproof dragons can be placed into Cold, Lightning, and Omnitats.

### Favorite Treat

Shockproof dragons are fond of Sarjin Peppers, Fiery Figs, and Star Pods, most likely do to the spicy taste of the former two treats and the starry taste of Star Pods being reminiscent of lightning. That being said, like most dragons, they are also fond of Berry Bauble.

## History

### Discovery

The discovery of the shockproof dragon was quite dramatic. Whitbee was on an expedition to The Frozen Highlands when he found himself caught in a violent thunderstorm. When he was nearly struck by lightning, a shockproof dragon jumped into the fray and absorbed the bolt, gaining a distinct electrical patterning in the process.

### Origin of Name

The shockproof dragon was named for it's ability to absorb electricity making it quite literally shockproof.

## Magic

Shockproof dragons possess cryomancy and electromancy.
