Faerie Dragon

Threat Level: Low

Description

One of the only true dragons within Jotunheim, Faerie Dragons are truly a spectacle to behold, like a scaly blot in an otherwise giant land. And while they exclusively live in the Nowhere Forest, they are, unlike everything else within these woods, a very common sight. Often patrolling the outskirts of the forest, or within the nearby town of Somewhere.
As said before, faerie dragons are cat-sized dragon with what appear to be delicate butterfly wings, but are in truth leathery and quite tough. 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.”
Intrestingly, while magic in nature, this ability also appears to be partially organic. As their scales possess a chameleon esc property, and coupled with illusionary magic, renders it truly and completely invisible. Both to the passive, and even the particularly attentive, viewer.

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.
Extremely talkative, Faerie Dragons are never found far from intelligent creatures. They are particularly drawn toward peaceable societies appearing to favor Halflings and Gnomes.
Though normally Faerie Dragons rarely stay in one area for any length of time, making a habit of instead visiting a town every few years, the isolation of the Nowhere Forest has caused the Jotunheim Variant to develop a somewhat longer attention span, allowing them to more easily reside within the safe haven in and around the Nowhere Forest. 

A faerie dragon’s scales change hue as it ages, moving through all the colors of the rainbow. All faerie dragons have innate spellcasting ability, gaining new spells as they mature.

Dragon Color	Age Range
Red	5 years or less
Orange	6-10 years
Yellow	11-20 years
Green	21-30 years
Blue	31-40 years
Indigo	41-50 years
Violet	51 years or more

It is widely accepted that the Farrie Dragon, while a true dragon, is only very distantly related to Chromatic, Metallic, and Crystal dragons. Instead, they share much closer ties to the Psuedo Dragon.

Exclusively relegated to the Nowhere Forest, the Faerie Dragon cannot, naturally, be found anywhere else on Jotunheim.
