Butterfly-Dragon

Butterfly-Dragons are beautiful creatures with lepidopteran wings which inhabit the land of Sona-Nyl in the realm of the Dreamlands.

Biology
Like their name indicates, Butterfly-Dragons are insectoid reptilian creatures with large colorful-patterned wings, and feed exclusively on nectar, fragrances and silence. They have insectile legs and sinuous necks and tails, and are capable of flight in spite of a relatively small wing surface compared to their body size. A peaceful species, they vocalize pleasant melodies and dance in intricate patterns.

Butterfly-Dragons have specialized glands on the sides of their bodies which produce a rose-colored mist as a defense mechanism when they feel threatened. Exposure to the mist causes deafness, which can only be cured after weeks of therapy.

Although they can be domesticated and live for centuries in captivity, Butterfly-Dragons will only breed in the wild.
