Monk Dragon

Wild: Leaf Type
Monk Dragons bear their name after the way they deal with the problematic surroundings: staying completely still and coming into a meditaton-like trance "disconnecting" them from the reality. During that strange state, their heart almost stops beating and the body temperature lowers drastically, to the point it's difficult to tell if one just met a dragon or an old, mossy statue. According to some ancient sources, souls of Monk Dragons partially leave their physical homes once in a while to communicate with their deceased ancestors' spirits. This, as a way of slowing biological processes, is also probably one of the reasons these dragons can live up to 250 years.

Sadly, the spiritual trance and energy from the dragon quartz cannot solve the dragons' problem of their manes constantly tangling. The manes never stop growing, therefore can be a guide to tell the dragon's approximate age.

These majestic creatures are said to mainly feed on strong cosmic energy radiating from so called "dragon quartz" - a pastel-colored mineral in form of smooth crystals, found in the depths of the cave the Monk Dragons were first observed in. The mineral is slightly radioactive, as well as any Monk Dragon carrying the crystal around. In cases when the mineral is not present, the dragons feed on other small geological structures and plants, however their magic is then much weaker.
