Feathered Dragon

Feathered Dragons are some of the most dangerous dragons found in Mirateia, the legends tell about dragons say that those covered in feathers are the most dangerous as they not only are some of the most brutal ones when it comes to attacks but also that they attack settlements without any warning or obvious reason.

Well I have heard plenty of stories about them, but no one have ever seen one, alive or dead.

- Marius, a local adventurer.

Like all the other dragons that are once said to have roamed the skies over Mirateia, being those regal and impressive creatures that they are, no one has ever seen a living dragon since during the fall of the Ancient Empire were the legends say that some dragons fought alongside the elves, men and dwarves. but one day, they all seemed to vanish from the face of the earth. From time to time, skeletons or dead bodies of some dragons, like the one that caused the Local plage but no one has ever seen anything related to the Feathered dragons, although there are some stories that the beast responsible for the Dragon´s Harvest is a Feathered dragon as the one responsible, what makes it hard to conclude is that no one survived the attacks on the village but the point of the damage towards a dragon.
Somewhere in the debts of the Imperial Universitys library there are believed to be a book that contains knowledge gathered about Feathered dragons from before the disappearance of the dragons but despite many looking for it, there are so many books and other artefacts that the books are still missing after several hundred of years.
Due to their scary reputation, the Feathered dragon has become a favoured creature for mothers to use when they have to scare their kids from doing something or making sure they come home early before dark.

Come back home before dark sweethearth, we dont want the Feathered one to come and take you.
