Description
"Sylvan dragons once ruled the northern marches, and have at various times established territories in the Feywood, either through agreements with the woodland elves or through lethal conquest. After the calamitous end to the Dragon Wars, no sylvan dragon has been seen for well over a century. Unlike the red dragons of the mountains, sylvan dragons did not breathe flames: their breath was a toxic cloud of yellow gas. It was said that one could know the lair of a sylvan dragon by the pungent mix of tropical fruit and pepper odors; a strangely alluring scent of their breath that belied the danger within..."

This is a green dragon design for my home-brew 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons game. To reflect a diet of small game and fish, I've made the head of this dragon sleek like that of a spinosaur. I'm not sure why the wings of six-limbed dragons are not more often their mode of locomotion: this frees up their hands to attack or restrain prey, and their wings are undoubtedly more powerful. Like a pterosaur, I reconstructed this fantasy creature as something that launches with their wings and feet instead of with a leap from just the feet like a bird. I imagine these dragons wading through water using their wings like a push pole.

Cheers, folks!
