The shadow dragons of the Tangled Wood are tricksters. They prefer to be capricious and fickle, like the flickering shadows they manipulate. Of all the dragons, shadow dragons are the most enthralled by games, and delight most in winning, even if it means underhandedly. Game boards, tokens, and pieces are their favored treasure.

Bogsneak dragons are elusive, clever creatures that spend a great deal of time hidden from view. The Bogsneak species is the result of an accidental synthetic genetic mutation. Adults that have undergone metamorphosis into a Bogsneak can pass that genetic information on to offspring.

Bogsneaks are a mid-sized breed. They are easily recognized by their impressive head-crests, the shape and number of which can vary widely. These swamp-dwellers have long, thick necks to support these fans, which can fan open or compress depending on temperature and mood. They have robust, powerful bodies and strong arm and leg muscles that can carry them across short distances very quickly. A long, prehensile tongue and rows of sharp razor-like teeth sit in a powerful jaw.

It is not uncommon to find Bogsneak dragons completely isolated from others of their own kind, as they prefer to hunt or scavenge alone. When a pair are hunting in the same area, they are likely trying to race their counterpart to an unattended bird nest or arguing about who got there first. As a species they tend to focus on self-preservation over the communal good, especially when hungry.
