Dodo Dragon

* Juvenile
* Baby
* Egg

*Cave drawings of the **dodo dragon** were first discovered on Mooretoss Island long ago by the great explorer Lewis Dodoson. They depict an ancient, flightless, and rather clumsy dragon. For centuries it was thought to be extinct, but we now know that while the **dodo dragon** may be rare, it is certainly not extinct! I wonder what other dragons have yet to be discovered!*
