This bestiary was made because I felt there was a distinct lack
of unique dragons. It's been about a full year since the first
release of this bestiary. It has gone through many changes and
iterations since I first released it out into the wild and my skill
has greatly improved as well in that time! Hopefully this is
much better than the original!

hey are known as the bringers of rain and
seeing them is often seen as a sign of good
harvest. They're most often spotted chasing
their cosmic pearl across a stormy sky. Their
pearl is flawless and where it comes from and
how the dragon obtains it is subject to pure
conjecture. Killing one of these dragons is
thought to bring about 10 years of bad luck. The only
manifestation of the ol' dragon hoard mentality they have is
the ornate palaces they call their homes. These palaces are
located high up, such as built into the side of a mountain or on
top of a tower, or in the depths of the sea.
