Melaina

BASIC DESCRIPTION

╭━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╮
Here in the Overgrowth lies a tricky and elusive fae. A devious light dragon who is not to be messed with. Melaina’s patterning allows her to blend into the shadows nicely and attack with ease. She’s swift and cunning, and despite her small size, she’s very dangerous. Be careful, as she’s not just light-footed, her capsule gene also allows her to spit acid at her prey. It burns like nettle and gympie and leaves bad blisters for days. So if her claws and teeth don’t subdue you, her spit will. She’s become warped by the environment around her. Her wings, torn and deteriorated, fixed by long tendrils and thorns. She’s become part of her ecosystem; dense, twisted, filled with prickers and snares, and ever enveloping.

Melaina is a twisted dragon. Only breeding to create an clan of her own out in the Overgrowth. She calls her hatchlings, The Toxin Brood, as almost all of the children carry a deadly toxin just like her.

So don’t wander into the shadows, little hatchlings

STATS

HOARD

Warbeast Tusk

Organics

The tusk of a great carnivore. Blood is still present on the edge, meaning that its owner may still be nearby, suffering from some nasty pain..

70

Feline Triskull

Organics

The skeletal remains of a less successful ferberus.

53

Tales of Terror

Trinkets

A dusty moth-eaten tome pocked with glowing eyes. It's pretty safe to judge this book by its cover, though it might be a good idea to wait until it's not looking right at you.

47

Sickle Claws

Organics

It is regarded as unwise to harvest claws of a kamaitachi. These weasels travel in family units, and the survivors are known to hunt collectors down.

50

Chimera Hide

Organics

After you collect one of these, you better hide from the rest of its pride...

40

Singed Webbing

Organics

This miracle of nature can actually be woven to produce flame-resistant clothing for use by dragons that may not have started their lives in the Ashfall Waste.

41

FAV FOOD

Maggot

Insect

It's not hard to find large quantities of maggots. Just look for any festering corpse.

2

Toxindiver

Insect

The most adequate way of testing a poison is by tossing a bug in there and just seeing what happens. Or you could just eat this one instead and not waste food.

2

Vampiric Featherflea

Insect

The featherflea buries its head deep, nearest to wing joints. The amount of flying the host partakes in creates a smorgasbord of rich blood.

41

4

Stinglash

Insect

The skull on its back shows how deadly this bug is, but when its stinger is removed it's a delicacy.

25

3

Firebelly Scorpion

Insect

True to its name, the firebelly scorpion's venom first makes its presence known by the burning sensation in the victim's abdomen. Food poisoning at its worst.

4

Venomous Pillbug

Insect

Their painful venom would be a great deterrent if they could actually pierce a dragon's thick hide.
