Limited Telepathy The canopy dragon can magically communicate simple ideas, emotions, and images telepathically with any other creature within 100 yards of it.
Variant: Familiar
The canopy dragon can serve another creature as a familiar, forming a magic, telepathic bond with that willing companion. While the two are bonded, the companion can sense what the canopy dragon senses as long as they are within 1 mile of each other. While the canopy dragon is within 10 feet of its companion, the companion shares the canopy dragon's Magic Resistance trait. At any time and for any reason, the canopy dragon can end its service as a familiar, ending the telepathic bond.

Description
Canopy Dragons are a species of dragonet native to the high canopies of tropical rainforests. Vibrantly colorful, with "gemstone-colored" scales (females are dark blue, like spinels, whilst males are a fiery rainbow of ruby, jacinth and topaz). They have been compared to a cross between a Faerie Dragon and the colorful birds that share their environment. Because they sport beak-like snouts, large eyes, a rather bird-like body-structure, long tails with rudder-like fins, and long-tipped wings that drape down alongside the tail when folded. They range in size from about 18 inches when hatched to 4ft long at full maturity. Fighting only to defend themselves, canopy dragons are unique amongst their family in that they not only possess a breath weapon but they also possess potent psionics. Whilst hardly suited for direct combat, this makes them very hard to find if they don't want you to. These dragonets live, on average, 26 to 35 years. They are prized as familiars because they are the most even-keeled of their family; their only downside is that they are very attached to their native environments, and usually aren't willing to leave it.
