Fern Dragon

The Fern Dragon is not really big species, perhaps as tall as a bison, counting from the ground to shoulders. Its scales are rather soft and don't provide much protection from serious injuries, however they're shed often and grow back quickly. Neck scales, together with tail and head crests are mainly used for display, they can be risen and flattened at any time, making the dragon look more "fluffy".

The green patterns provide camouflage from predators as the main defensive mechanism. It also can defend itself using massive talons on the wings in case the camouflage fails and there is no way to escape. To keep the talons in a perfect condition and shape, it sharpens them on tree bark and rocks regularly.

This species is a herbivore and an insectivore, using its long, sticky tongue to drink nectar and pick up insects. When it comes to hunting tiny prey, this dragon is pretty smart, using its thin, curly tail tip as a "spoon" to feed on ants straight from their colonies.
