It’s not uncommon for young dragons to have fur rather than spines. When a half dozen or more soft-scaled babies are flopped all over each other in a nest, it makes sense to not be too spiky. As they age the fur will shed to make way for scales and spines, though some species do … Continue reading Baby Locks

Sour Hour
No matter how mild-mannered a young dragon typically is, they’re prone to moody swings as they grow and it’s not unusual for a teenage dragon to suddenly become rather grumpy. They can’t help the sudden sour mood. Of course, bad behaviour should be corrected, but no amount of telling them to “cheer up” will change … Continue reading Sour Hour
Long Story
The mouths of rivers are great places to meet serpents. It’s a perfect mix of water to swim in and estuary to wade in and land to slither on, and they gather there to feed on eels or salmon or the gatherings of waterfowl. But a question that is often asked about the serpents is: … Continue reading Long Story
Heard But Not Seen
There is a very rare kind of dragon that lives at the very peaks of mountains, overlooking grand canyons and wide, flat plains. They’re rarely seen and even if someone lives their whole life at the foothills of such a mountain, they may never catch a glimpse of their shadowy neighbour. Easily, though, they will … Continue reading Heard But Not Seen
Kelp Drakes
Despite many dragons being quite carnivorous in nature, there are some that have developed a more versatile lifestyle, and kelp drakes are one such sort. They live in the warm waters around the coast and cruise along with the currents, munching on seaweed, sea grass, and sometimes even coming onto land to graze on a … Continue reading Kelp Drakes
Pie Alert
Autumn is a time for bounty and fruits and berries, and all the baking and preserving that comes with them, but it is also the time for curious dragon pups to leave their nests and begin their early explorations, hunting for food before the harsh cold of winter claims it all. To have a whole … Continue reading Pie Alert
Autumn Slumber
For a young dragon, there’s no better nap spot than a pile of sun-warmed pumpkins. They can flop for hours over a pile of large gourds and it can be difficult for farmers to rouse them if needed. Sometimes a whole clutch can be found in an especially abundant field, all drooped like kittens over … Continue reading Autumn Slumber
Baby Face
The big eyes of lake dragons can make them look… well, a bit cutesy, some might say. Their huge eyes help them to see in the depths of the lake, of course, but on the surface they can be left dazzled and blinking. Arcis is a full grown dragon but he looks like an infant … Continue reading Baby Face
Umbrella
Some familiars have… unfortunate names. Many are named by excited, giggly children, and that is how we ended up with a dragon named Umbra, short for Umbrella. She was found in the rain, covering her head with her wings as if they were umbrellas and… the name stuck. Familiars can be very sensitive about their … Continue reading Umbrella
Plentiful
It is well known that dragon pups enjoy sweet foods and are often attracted to fruits and berries, but it is always very cute when a dragon’s hoarding instinct kicks in and they decide to hoard autumn’s bounty. It is irresistible to them, and the pups feel compelled to stop whatever they’re doing to gather … Continue reading Plentiful
