Field Guide to Floral Dragons 2 - Rhododendron Dragon (Patreon)

Meet the Rhododendron Dragon. 🌺

Rhododendron dragons resemble azalea dragons but have bulkier bodies, with sturdy limbs and tails covered in large protective scales. Though not as nimble as their azalea dragon cousins, they have powerful claws and strong jaws. Blooms in shades of red, pink, purple, yellow, or orange cover their neck and head like a mane as well as the base of their tail. These flowers have thick petals that are tough as leather, granting the dragon extra protection. 💪

Like azalea dragons, adult rhododendron dragons are intelligent, able to speak and learn languages. Most rhododendron dragons learn Draconic as well as a language spoken by the humanoids they live alongside. Rhododendron dragon packs have formed alliances with a few humanoid settlements.
