Abilities

Can breathe fire, hold their breath for up to an hour, blend into large mud puddles

Habitat

The swamps, marshes, and boiling mud pools between the mountains and the sea

Watch out for

Often found hiding under the mud; also their teeth, claws, fire, the usual

Description

Pale gold or white scales the color of desert sand; forked black tongues

Abilities

Can survive a long time without water, poison prey with the tips of their tails like scorpions, bury themselves for camouflage in the desert sand, breathe fire

Watch out for

Their venomous barbed tails, their teeth, claws, fire

Description

Red-gold or orange scales, enormous wings

Abilities

Can breathe underwater, create huge waves with one splash of their powerful tails
