Description
Water dragons are long serpentine creatures who, despite their size and length, are oddly majestic. Though gargantuan, they are one of the hardest creatures to spot do to their power to become invisible. They are considered close gods but just out of godhood. They can even rival greatwyrms in power. Water dragons are considered cousins to dragons, in similar fashion to wyverns, but they are one of the most intelligent beings in the realm if not the most. They don’t have a lair, as their home is the water.
Being able to bend water to their will gives them much more of an advantage for hiding and fighting. Their scales can be be on or more colors of the rainbow. Despite being godly in power, they are weak to necrotic attacks. Some say they are Tiamat’s first creation, before she went mad and on a rampage, though others say it was Bahamut’s as an attempt to win Tiamat back as a gift.
