Scientific Name: Draco Tectum
Common Name: Roof dragon
Habitat: World wide
General Description
Roof dragons are often heard but almost never seen--such is their penchant for privacy and peace. They live a nomadic life, moving at their personal, mysterious whim from rooftop to rooftop during the dark of night, rarely staying in one place for more than a few hours before flying to another roof or the roofs of another sleeping town. No one knows why these dragons have taken to the this life among the chimneys and shingles above our heads, but there is speculation that they are related to another and more rare dragon type: Draco nomadis, which refuses to consider even roofs as a home. Roof dragons are thought to range from one to three meters in length including a long prehensile tail used for balance, and they are placed among the most swift of those dragons who are able to fly. Little is known of their temperament save that we have little to fear. In fact, the creaks and groans and scrabble-scratch noises we sometimes hear about us at night should be considered the best of luck, for no dreadful beast of the night will ever come close to a dragon-guarded roof, and children in bed below need have no fear as they sleepily drift into their own worlds of adventure and happy dreams.
