Alioth

---

Alioth, the grumpiest in the whole clan, lives below the clan's airships and doesn't meet the other dragons often. When he does, however, you'd better get ready for a stream of various complaints.
One time a weird, huge caterpillar mistook his wing for a leaf, and took a bite when he wasn't noticing. The caterpillar now is presumed eaten by a few spirals and faes. Alioth still has the bite mark on his right wing, which he hides with the banner.

Alioth has a random hut in the middle of a whole bunch of bamboo. To some dragons he is practically a cryptid.
