DesertSucculent

Desert Succulents look like the dry aired desert in which they roam, allowing them a camouflage when hunting. Their wings mimic and blend into the rocky and mountainous scenery, flaring over the toned dragons, dispersing heat and keeping them cool. The pinstripe along their bodies follows in predatory styles of using patterns that allows them to fade into the incandescent heat waves that shimmer off of the desert sands like a living mirage.

Naturally known for the species, they will burrow into the sand, covering most of their bodies save for the cranial branches and wings. Lying motionless, blending into the environment and looking only like a rocky outcrop with a lush succulent bush beside would bring the natural species of the desert forth to partake of the foliage. Such subterfuge would provide a delicious and easy snack to the cloaked dragons.

The Stormcatcher joined the dragons of Sornieth in the Thundercrack Carnivale, enjoying the delicious foods and entertainment the festival provided. The scaled creature was so happy with how the year had passed, being able to now watch the other dragons laughing and playing about. As their laughter grew so too did his, growing into booming waves that resounded like thunder that rumbled over the Charged Barrens. From his joy sparks of lightning discharged from his shaking body that arched towards the ground.

The lightning vitrified the sands around him, turning it to glittering flecks of glass to create beautiful rays of cerulean fading into a deep emerald glow with his fellow festival-goers gathering around to watch this captivating act. The desert trembled, parting the dunes under which these dragons had galivanted; the lightning from the Stormcatcher calling to ones unseen below, awakening them. In amazement to the onlookers, unfamiliar dragons began to arise from the crackling green electricity and soon these Sandsurges joined the dragons of Sornieth in history.

As time passed the fulminating bursts of lightning lingered, providing them with the energy they would need to explore the world around. Soon though would this ethereal bromide fade in some of these sandsurges, giving way for twisting branches to sprout on top of their crowns.

These gifted brethren were to grow flora to provide a new way of life and society, becoming the hunters and ones who traveled from the dens to help their clan flourish. For the sandsurges that retained their more electrifying gift, they helped their clan by attracting and harvesting lightning strikes when just below ground to send off to the mighty Stormcatcher. The lightning that crackled about the dragons holding the memory of their origins for time eternal.
