Their diet consisted mostly of small bugs caught in the air, from trees and bushes, and off the ground. Faerie dragons laid their eggs in tiny closely-nestled clusters. Lair įaerie dragons often built their lairs high off the ground in the boughs, crotches, and hollows of trees, making them out of any materials they could gather from the forest floor, such as dry grass, leaves, spider silk, twigs, small branches, tree bark, and mud. Society įaerie dragons normally traveled in groups with pixies, sprites, and other fey creatures. Victims stood still and did nothing or wandered off randomly.

Breath Weapon Ī faerie dragon could exhale a cone of euphoria gas as a breath weapon. They rarely fought alone and were often quick to call upon allies when in trouble. If seriously pressed, these dragons could strike out with their claws and teeth, but they preferred magic over melee. Some could phase in and out of their plane to avoid danger. Combat įaerie dragons preferred to deal with predators from a distance, using innate magical abilities to confuse and bewilder. They were often referred to as the pranksters of the wild.

Like many dragons, they tended to be pranksters, but faerie dragons were especially mischievous. The scales of a young hatchling were almost always red, and those of a fully mature dragon (over 50 years old) were violet. Because their predominant scale hue ran the colors of the rainbow over their lifetime, their color was a direct indicator of their age and power. Like true dragons, faerie dragons grew stronger with age, but they matured much more quickly and lived shorter lives. They had a long, prehensile tail and platinum-colored, butterfly-like wings. Each had an iridescent coat of scales that reflected all colors of the rainbow, predominantly reflecting one particular color which changed with age. Faerie dragons were extremely small in comparison to their large metallic or chromatic dragon cousins-about the size of a cat.
