Official Dragon Descriptions
Egg
"This egg smells musty, like rotting leaves."
Hatchling
"Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It likes hiding under dead leaves and attacking your ankles when you pass by."
Mature Hatchling
"Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It likes hiding under dead leaves and attacking your ankles when you pass by.
And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing."
Adult
"Olive dragons are a small, forest dwelling breed, rarely growing much larger than the average sheep. When alarmed, they can erect a long row of venomous spines on their back, serving to warn any potential predators that Olives are not a good choice for a meal. While not strong enough to kill anything larger than a small deer, their venom causes an extremely painful reaction and necrosis at the site of the wound, sometimes causing the flesh to rot and limbs to fall off."

Encyclopedia Entry
Appearance/Basic Anatomy
- Long-bodied with relatively short legs.
- Cannot control the amount of venom injected from fangs or spines; dry bites and stabbings do occur.
- Coloration becomes somewhat brighter in the spring and fades in the autumn.
- Relatively fearless, even in the face of much larger creatures.
- Immune to the venom of their own species.
- Semi-arboreal, often nesting in both large, hollow trees and deep burrows.
Hatchling Behavior
- Voraciously hunts small animals such as rats and mice.
- While hatchlings produce much less venom than adults it is no less potent.
- Spines are flexible until the dragon reaches adulthood.
- Hatchlings tend to band together for protection and separate once they reach sexual maturity.
- In captivity, become strongly attached to their human owner but become more aloof as they age.
Adult Behavior
- Solitary as adults, although a pair may stay together for a short period of time after breeding.
- A receptive female communicates her willingness to breed to a male by holding her tail off to the side and her spines against her body.
- Eggs are often buried under piles of rotting vegetation.
- Define large territories which may overlap.
- Remain playful even as adults.
Habitat
- Found in deciduous forests.
- Seem to prefer temperate areas with a high annual rainfall.
Diet

- Occasionally seen launching themselves from trees onto unsuspecting animals.
- Rely on stealth and a quick pounce to catch prey.
