Mother Inferno
There once lived a dragon that guarded the mountains in the faraway countryside of Ireland. Those who claim to have seen the dragon have said its scales were ruby-red and shimmered in direct sunlight. The eyes of the beast were emerald-green and glowed in the darkness. The beauty of the majestic creature was so intriguing that it could hypnotize you into its fiery abyss. Legend says that it wanders in and out of the reliefs of the mountains, guarding an abandoned gold mine that lies deep below the surface. Many men have tried to find such gold but have been destroyed by the dragons’ hellfire breath. Those who lived to tell the tale swear it’s a female dragon since her beauty can distract you from your death. With such a reputation, the town folk nick-named her Mother Inferno.

Saffi's Delve
“Why has Vaikal been placed under guard?” demanded Saffi as she stormed through the council chamber toward the arc of giant pedestals where the council members sat. Dragons weren’t easy to startle, but at least one of them nearly fell off his perch. Saffi was the only human living in the realm of the dragons, and she’d had to develop a strong voice just to be heard among them. And a strong resistance to the cold of the mountains. Dragons didn’t have much use for enclosed spaces, and the wool of her tunic didn’t offer much warmth under the open dome of the council chamber.

They can be small and harmless like buzzing cranes or riggals. They can be large enough to warrant some fear like a forest fox or impact mole. They can be an obvious threat like a grizzly bear, or they can be something so complex that they cannot be put into any specific category.
