Gheval Dragon

Quiet watchers of swamps and other natural environments, these peaceful creatures are more plant than animal at times. With long curling green scaled skin that almost blends into the plant-life and wings that shroud the trees and swamps they roam through with pale light they generate themselves, these creatures are peaceful guardians of glades and other natural areas that need protection.
