Could you recognise a Lava Dragon? Well, it looks remarkably like a Fire Dragon. It has the same fiery breath which smells like chili. Tt has the same number of stomachs (three )and the same flame proof scales.
Habitat
The Lava Dragon lives in a volcano where it breeds spiders. It uses the spiders for defence. It makes the nest it lives in out of lava and fallen trees; the dragon fells the trees. The dragon can have eggs all by itself. The dragons are born with eggs developing inside them. The dragon will lay the egg when it is about twenty years old. The nest it lives in is brown in colour and looks like a wave just as it is about to crash and break on the shore. The nest has a roof this is because the only way for a human to kill a Lava Dragon is to shoot an extremely powerful ray of UV light at one. The roof keeps the dragon protected.
Diet of a Lava Dragon
A Lava Dragon has to eat its own body weight every month. This is especially hard because it is extremely territorial so it does not like leaving it’s territory for fear another Lave Dragon will come and take it over. The Lava Dragon will eat anything that comes into its territory. The way the dragons hunt is they get the spiders they breed to weave an invisible ribbon around the volcano. If anything comes in it will destroy it. If the dragon gets too hungry it will eat all of its spiders except one male and one female. The Lava Dragon will even fight other dragons to the death for meat – earning it the nickname ‘the cannibal dragon’.
Weapons of the dragon
This dragon owns and frequently uses its wide array of weapons. One of the dragon’s most prominently used weapons is its fire breath. The fire breath is made by drinking the molten lava. Another weapon is razor sharp talons. The talons, which are extremely hard and durable as well as sharp, are sometimes dipped in lava if the dragon is fighting another dragon. Over the dragon’s lifetime, which is about 40 years, it will shed and regrown its talons 8 times. Another thing the dragon will have a lot of in its lifetime are its teeth. These are like a shark and they move to the front of the mouth before dropping out. The teeth in the middle have small hooks which are brilliant for tearing out flesh from its meals. The rest of the teeth are incisors which are used for shearing flesh and skin of its unfortunate prey. The dragon’s hearing sense is extremly well developed which means it can hear a tiny squeak from 50 meters away (this is good as its eyesight can only go to a range of 40 metres). Like most elemental dragons the Lave Dragons strength is overpowering for all it’s prey. It’s bite force alone is 4 times that of a Great White Shark!
Defences against the dragon
The main way to be safe from the Lave Dragon is … to stay away from it! It will tear any human apart and eat them as a quick snack. If you want to do some damage you can hit it from long range with a Panzer tank. The best way to dispose of a Lava Dragon is to use a grenade launcher which is loaded with flash grenades.
How to see one
The way to see the Lava Dragon is to get to a high vantage point – maybe a tall tree and use some powerful binoculars or a telescope. You need to be in a country where there is an active volcano. However, they do not like built up areas such as Mauna Loa in Hawaii. Never step into the dragon’s territory as you will be destroyed and eaten. Some of the dragons who live in island locations have developed a sub-species who can swim and dive for fish. These can be viewed by scuba diving but probably you want to be in a shark proof cage!
