Zinnath

A clever and observant sort of dragon is he, appropriately enough for one of Arcane lineage. Zinnath is known for his intelligence and practicality; when other dragons need the facts, or are curious about the strange plant or bug they encountered in their travels, they often visit Zinnath to consult.

But for all his much-vaunted practicality he does know how to cut loose and have fun. In fact, unbeknownst to most, on the sly he loves fantasizing about his secret superhero double-life. In truth he is not a terrible large and impressive physical specimen, but in his mind he can easily envision those buff muscles, that flowing cape and those invisible DNA mutations that have bestowed upon him godlike powers which he uses wisely for the good of all. (He’s still working on what theme music should be playing when he shows up to save the day, though, in his daydream scenarios, and on what his official superhero name should be.) He has a stash of the pulpiest comic stories which serve as the guilty pleasure he uses to unwind at the end of the day. The one true thing though is that he does have courage where it really counts, and hatchlings in distress can rest assured that if a supervillain ever did show up on scene then Zinnath would be there to tirelessly strive for Evil’s defeat. Even if this puffed-up scrawny coatl’s brave stand merely caused such villains to laugh themselves to death.

His familiar, Ravenna, was also chosen for her brains and is very good about fetching him research materials and reading glasses when needed. When she’s in an especially cooperative mood she can sometimes be convinced to play along with his superhero shenanigans, too, acting as fearless sidekick or damsel in distress. She draws the line at wearing any of those stupid makeshift capes, however. A hippogryph has to maintain some dignity.
