The River dragon is one of the most intriguing types of dragon in the world. Absolutely minuscule, and having features similar to the riverwolf, the pike, it has a very interesting hunting style, as well as living in a very unusual habitat. It lives in a tunnel in the banks of a river that it chooses to make it’s home in. It makes these tunnels by using it’s hooked, curving underjaw as a miniature drill. This underjaw is exceedingly similar to that of the pike’s.

The River Dragon’s eyes have three eyelids, one like a human’s, going down from the top of the eye to the bottom, as well as one going from the side to the other, backwards, and the last one has the same motion as the second, but is see-through. It uses one and two together for sleep, one or two separately for a light snooze (as one or two alone let light filter in a bit, and together they don’t let any in at all) and the last one for swimming, as water will not be let in but it can still see underwater!

However, despite it’s size, this dragon is incredibly territorial and will gallantly defend it’s home, mate and young ones. Surprisingly, this dragon is a mammal, giving birth to live young and being warm-blooded, therefore heating and cooling it’s own body rather than relying on nature to do it for them. It’s scales are actually made of keratin, the substance your hair and nails are made of.

Did you know that in 2019 two adventurers disappeared near a river, no trace left. Two months later they stumbled into the nearest village to the river Antwine, their clothes practically ripped to shreds with deep scratches and welts all over their bodies, claiming to have been set upon by a group of river dragons. If you do go searching for them, keep the adventurers in mind. The river dragons are surprisingly deadly. Beware.
