Full DescriptionA tiny dragon, some may call a minidrake, lap dragon or shoulder dragon. The tiny creature has all of the usual traits of a western dragon, two leathery wings, four paws that look part way between lizard and bird-like, a long neck and tail, and a head with bright yellow cat-like eyes, long narrow snout rowed with tiny sharp teeth, and a pair of slightly down swept horns on the back of his head. The minidrake would be a clear parallel of a housecat for the dragon species.
The small creature makes squeaks, chirps, skrak, and churr sounding vocalizations sounding somewhat similar to both feline and bird noises but not quite either.
The overall appearance and demeanor of the creature gives a clear suggestion that this is a pet of some sort. The scaly body is well kept and any typical feral characteristics of behavior are clearly absent. None of the tiny claws, horns, or bite look like a threat, likely able to do just a bit more damage than a cat would.
The minidrake wears a collar clearly appearing to be someones pet and he is quite friendly and passive when not otherwise timid and cautious.
Worn on his neck is an elastic webbed collar with a curious magical blue gem embedded into a metal socket with tiny runes engraved all around the gem. The collar band itself also has runes sewn into it providing a protective warming effect for the small creature wearing it to keep them warm when out in cold weather. The charm keeps a warm bubble of air around the host acting as a thermal barrier.
The collar has a small D-ring with the following tags hanging in order:
-A gold brass tag with "Dav" engraved on it
-A black tag with white text engraved reading "I'm a sentient minidrake. If found alone, please return to Willomic Odiea or Rich. I might not understand you and cannot speak." with an address
-A steel tag with vet information
-An orange tag that contains sentient registration information marking this minidrake as sentient, even if he doesn't seem to act like it.
-Tag indicating Welcome Centre examined and tested him on Feb 12th, 2021 and found good health and not hazardous.
The minidrake's scales is a beautiful scattering of reds over the majority of the body mostly bright red in colouration with subtle highlights towards yellow. The majority of the body has small scales neatly all aligned pointed towards the tail and get slightly larger in size on the back. The scales are soft and squishy but fairly tough like thin leather. The wings a soft, smooth and flexible but tough material are a lighter shade of red, while the underside from the collar bone to the base of the tail a pale-yellow colour nicely contrasting the red all around it made out of fine meshed scales almost like skin. The horns and claws are a dark grey, almost completely black; and the eyes a piercing vibrant yellow with slit pupils and shine like cat eyes.
Upon close examination one would find that he is warm to the touch, being hot-blooded like a bird. The snout has curious little bumpy ridges along the top of it and otherwise sort of resembles that of a wide alligator's snout, and the fore paws have five flexible digits each with a slightly hooked claw tipping the end looking built for gripping and climbing, but lack the sort of dexterity to work like hands. The hind paws only have four digits with the fifth sticking out of the back of the leg acting as a tiny dewclaw functionally like a heel spur, a natural weapon used to scratch at a foe that were to try and pounce him from behind. Similarly, the wings have little horn nubs on the elbow joints of the wings likely to serve the same purpose as the heel spurs.
Other than scent it's difficult to know with complete certainty that the minidrake is male, having to guess based on the vibrant colouring, build, and behavior as no other defining characteristics are plainly visible.
