Scientific Name: Draco Nympha
Common Name: Fairy dragon
Habitat: Wooded glades of lush grass and flowers where the dew will
collect in the hollows of fallen leaves and the arch of a star-filled
night may be found reflected a million-fold in drops clinging to the tip of each grassy blade.
General Description
Fairy dragons are creatures of the warm, dark hours before midnight, slipping out from their hidden forest homes among the massive tree trunks and exposed roots nearby to celebrate the passing of day in its last ruddy glow. They live in groups of twenty or so and are hardly ever seen alone, a fact which may be due to their obvious joy in singing together in complicated counterpoint with magically sweet and clear, high-pitched voices. Fairy dragons seem to subsist entirely upon the cool, rich nourishment of new-fallen dew and are a threat to no person or thing--other than perhaps with their well known weakness for mischievous tricks played upon those who wander unknowingly into their woodland domain.
