Earthborer Dragon

As many dragons above favor the skies and flying through the air, these creatures prefer to burrow through the land. Carving and digging through the earth, rock, and sand with long slender bodies, these creatures are at home above as below the earth. Sophisticated in some areas, while more feral in others.
