Scientific Name: Draconis Pomarium
Common Name: Orchard Dragon
Habitat: Fruit orchards all over the world
General Description
The fully grown orchard dragon rarely exceeds twenty-five centimeters in height and weighs only about as much as a large orange. Its coloration ranges from pale yellow to a warm leaf green, and it is often covered with spots of contrasting value from early Spring to late Fall, these spreading or darkening to gray or brown as Winter arrives in earnest. Orchard dragons tend to be somewhat less than graceful even in their natural world of trunks and branches, and their small wings appear to get in the way more often than to aid in balance during frequent hops from limb to limb. Orchard dragons are good natured and friendly folk--even when embarrassingly intoxicated by the consumption of fermenting fruit which may be left behind after harvest. The most notable consequences of this spirited indulgence are incapacitating hiccups and a staggering clumsiness, all of which result in an orchestration of hiccups punctuated by the occasional soft thud of a dragon who has fallen completely out of his tree.
