Homebrew Faerie Dragon Species Details

A faerie dragon is a cat-sized dragon with butterfly wings. It wears a sharp-toothed grin and expresses its delight by the twitching of its tail, its merriment fading only if it is attacked.

Invisible Tricksters. The only warning of a faerie dragon’s presence is a stifled giggle. The dragon stays out of sight, watching invisibly as its victims contend with its pranks. When its fun is done, the dragon might reveal itself, depending on the disposition of its “prey.”

Friendly and Bright. A faerie dragon has a sharp mind, a fondness for treasure and good company, and a puckish sense of humor. Travelers can play to a faerie dragon’s draconic nature by offering it “treasure” in the form of sweets, baked goods, and baubles in exchange for information or safe passage through its territory.

Not From Around Here. This variant of the Faerie Dragon species is native to a mostly unexplored world of the Material Plane, which they call Xarrhia. Xarrhia is a fairly recently discovered world, and not much is known about it, except that there are three moons, and that dragons are the dominant force there. This Faerie dragon variant also stays one color throughout their entire lifespan, unlike the Faerie Dragons we know that change color as they age.
