Endemic

Endemic, the Plague Representative

Me? Disgusting? Look at yourself...

Endemic was born in Quarantine Zone #128. At birth she killed two of her siblings to establish dominance. Her parents didn't punish her for this, though her mother was a bit upset to have lost two "spawns". Her mother neither encouraged, nor discouraged the behavior, rather she taught Endemic that killing other dragons for no reason was unnecessary. So Endemic began to fight her siblings, always winning and getting more food. To which her father had to scramble for more food to make sure everyone ate enough so they didn't lose more hatchlings.

As an adolescent, her aggressive tendencies did not fade away. She still made sure her siblings knew who was alpha, and if they got in her way, she made sure they didn't do it again for at least 24 hours.
Hunting with Endemic was like watching a natural born killer. She was savage and didn't stop till the thing she had her sights set on was taken down.

Endemic avoids most social interactions with others, preferring to quietly keep out of a conversation and simply listen in. Others have attempted to get her involved in a conversation to show her the clan is like a large family, but every attempt has ended with Endemic staring at the dragon talking to her without speaking much herself. When alone, her distant personality remains as she focuses on training for her next battle.
With hatchlings though, she tends to ignore them. Frequently recommending they are looked after by someone else and to leave her alone. Her sympathy to young dragons low and many claim its a result of her being impatient. She hisses at hatchlings and sees them as a curse when near them. A scourge to avoid essentially. She collects trophies from battles. Including claws, skulls and bones from dragons and beast clans. She loves decorating herself with them, but also her den. While the smell sometimes bothers other dragons, it doesn't seem to affect Endemic so much.

This harsh landscape meant you had to take any opportunity to grab a kill. Food wasn't the easiest to come by. Today, Endemic was hunting with her siblings. "Why are you walking beside me? Back off!" She snarled to her brother, who quickly. She liked walking in front, as any alpha would. "Sister, what are we tracking?" He asked and she snorted. Her multiple eyes looking around in many different areas at once. Yo many dragons her eyes looked weird, but they came with perks. Heat vision, sight in many different directions, among other things. She shook her head "Tch, I forget you two only have up to four eyes. I'm tracking a herd of jackalope. You may not see them or smell them, but your not me." She sneered at her siblings and continued walking. Finally, they came across them again, and she looked to her brother. "You take the right in the sky, on my mark you flank them. Sister." She said, now speaking to her "You will take the 3/4 side and round them up in case any stragglers try to escape." Her sister nodded and they got into position. Endemic crawled forward, and once close enough, she opened her maw and breathed her contaigon breath, hitting the majority of the rabbits and killing them instantly. Her breath spread like a gas quickly and the rest were infected. Even if the rest escaped, they would soon die. The brother took out two, and the sister took down a straggler. In total, they had 7 jackalope carcasses. Enough for the family for now. Endemic approached the group of carcasses and snarled at her siblings to back off and they quickly did, cowering and hiding their faces in their wings as she took first pick. She grabbed the biggest one and tore into it. Once finished, she licked her maw and sighed. "Alright, let's bring these home to mother and father."
