Official 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.

Hatchling Behavior
- Voraciously hunts small animals such as rats and mice.
- While hatchlings produce much less venom than adults it is no less potent.

Adult Behavior
