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.

The vast desert west of the forest.
Watch Out For:
Their venomous barbed tails, their teeth, claws, fire.
Description:
Scales that can shift colors, usually bright like birds of paradise; prehensile tails.
Abilities:
Can camouflage their scales to blend into their surroundings; rumor has it they can also shoot venom from their fangs.
Habitat:
The mysterious impenetrable rainforest, east of the mountains.
Watch Out For:
We have no idea! No recorded survivor encounters, so they're probably the deadliest and stealthiest of all dragons.
Description:
Silvery scales like the moon or pale blue like ice, ridged claws to grip the ice, forked blue tongues; tails narrow to a whip thin end.
Abilities:
Can withstand subzero temperatures and bright light; exhale a deadly freezing frostbreath.
Habitat:
The icy arctic region of the upper northwest peninsula, we think.

Their breath, which can freeze a human solid; also their teeth and claws.

Red-gold or orange scales, enormous wings.

Powerful fighters and fliers; can breathe fire.
Habitat:
The central mountain range.
Watch Out For:
The way they swoop out of nowhere at high speed, also their teeth, claws, fire.

Blue or green or aquamarine scales; webs between their claws; gills on their necks; glow in the dark stripes on their tails, snouts, underbellies.
Abilities:
Can breathe underwater, create huge waves with the splash of their powerful tails.
Habitat:
The ocean, but possibly also large lakes and rivers.
Watch Out For:
Swimming in any large body of water, also, of course, their teeth and claws (but on the plus side, no fire!)
