Dendrolepis, Nature Subspecies
Created by Avessa #4939
Poison Strength: Mild

Having evolved in seclusion deep within the Shrieking Wilds, the Dendrolepis subspecies is a striking example of dragon evolution. Believed to have originated from Spirals, Dendrolepis bodies are thicker and more tubular than common spirals. Their wings also tend to be smaller and their heads larger.

As they live primarily in the forest canopy their preferred diet consists of insects, birds and small manticores. Occasionally they have been seen feeding on Insectus Plagas, small faelike insects hailing from the Scarred Wasteland. As such, fae should beware when foraging in territory known to contain wild populations of Dendrolepis.

No longer capable of true powered flight, these creatures glide from tree to tree where the gap is too wide to cross via branches. Outside of their native region, this subspecies does well in Shadow and forested Light territories, though they have been seen on rocky canyon/cliff faces.

Possible sightings have been made in the starwood strand in Arcane territory. Current research indicates this sub-species cannot live in Plague, Water, Ice or Fire territories. Research about Lightning territory is inconclusive.
