Drado
Basic Information
Anatomy
Imagine the outcome of a cross between a dog and a dragon, or more likely a lizard, and you get the Drado.
A furry body with a scaled under neck and belly, four legs with paws. A lizard like tail, sometimes with scale spikes along the topline. Two small, more or less pronounced horns on their forehead and big, upstanding pointy ears, very rarely floppy. Their facial features are dog typical, the head shape a little more oval than elongated. On their back they have two feathered wings, too small to fly, but still useful in balancing acts and to help them jump and land back on their feet better.
Dietary Needs and Habits
While being carnivores, they mostly hunt smaller animals like mice, rats, rabbits or large insects.
Additional Information
Domestication
The Drado is domesticated and used for hunting and to keep critters from farmlands. They are a very playful species, friendly and loyal to their family.
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
