Description
This Drydvern relative is miniscule in size comparison to its abomination cousin. However, despite its tiny size it will one day grow to be a formidable opponent in its own right. Dwarf Drydverns, are true drydverns and the only living true drydverns, and like the other draconic hybrids they are multi headed. Dwarf dragons appear to be conjoined twins of a sort, with 8 legs, 2 distinct spines and small ridged sails protruding from said spines (the sails grow from the entire spine, beginning at the neck and ending at the tips of the draconic tails), 4 wings and 4 false wings (also called gliders or rear wings, incapable of flapping or rotating they aid in generating lift while flying) they also have 3 tails (a central peacock like tail covered in feathers that aids in generating lift and draconic barbed tails) and of course two heads. Their heads are unique from other draconic hybrids and are its most recognizable trait. They have a crown of horns, that is they have a pair that curls back, a pair of ram horns that circle and protect the ears, a pair that stretches forward and up like the horns of impalas, and small stubby horns that grow above and protect the eyes. They also have a small horn that grows from its nose like that of a rhino, and small tusks that grow from the base of its lower jaw. Both female and male Dwarf Drydverns have large front canines that reach the bottom of its jaw when its mouth is closed, though female canines are serrated while male canines are sheer. The horns of Dwarf Drydverns are large enough to use as weapons but not long enough to entangle in and pierce its heads while at rest. The skull is a prize among warriors and spellcasters alike, adorning the skulls make for intimidating helmets, and the horns are frequently used as spellcasting components or whittle down into spellcasting foci. Dwarf Drydverns are also a variety of colors, though colors don't mean much for them at any age and are more for show, moreover, Dwarf Drydvern are completely covered in feathers except on their horns and claws. Plucking the feathers of a Dwarf Drydvern reveals the smooth small hexagonal scales on their skin (scales rarely get larger than a fingernail in size at adulthood). The feathers of a Dwarf Drydvern are typically described as soft thin and similar to those of baby birds.
