Scientific Name: Draco Nimbus
Common Name: Cloud dragon
Habitat: Aerial; concentrated in temperate zones at altitudes ranging
from 3,000 meters down to less than 30 meters in some
mountainous areas.
General Description
Although many in number and spread throughout areas of moderate clime, Cloud dragons are among the most elusive of all dragons in that they have developed an uncanny ability to remain hidden among the billows and folds of spring and summer clouds --in some cases apparently even shaping the clouds themselves so as to create an effective disguise. There are, however, occasions upon which the clouds reveal or echo the form of the dragon hidden within. The reason for this remains in some dispute, but there is a growing body of evidence which suggests that a mischievous sense of humor may be the cause. In any event, such occasions are by far the best for watching Cloud dragons because all the dragons in the vicinity are likely to be caught up in the spirit of the fun, and an entire herd (fleet? wing? flight? flotilla? etc.) may thus be clearly observed at one time.
