General Description
River dragons tend to be fairly large as adults, averaging slightly less than two meters at the shoulder. Their scales are usually shades of greens and grays and appear in intricately deceptive patterns across the dragons' backs, often enclosed in a tattered web of lighter colors. A broad, relatively flat tail provides most of the River dragon's motive force for swimming, and their delicately webbed feet are used mainly for balance and in maintaining the dragon's level of buoyancy just below the water's surface. Well known for their gentleness and generally helpful nature, they are strictly vegetarian and spend most waking moments searching out delicacies from among the tender aquatic plants at the river's edge.
