Mood Dragons are long, sinuous hunting dragons that can change color based on their moods. They are four-legged with a pair of long, ribbon-like elegant wings. Mood Dragons also have a single antennae of sorts in the middle of their head that can move forward and backwards. Their eggs will change color, based on the feelings of the dragon inside. There is a wide variation in size, from the size of a spaniel to as big as a lioness.
Abilities[]
Mood Dragons are able to change colors based on mood.
Note that Stormfly is capable of speaking Norse, in addition to Dragonese, which indicates a high level of intelligence.
A Mood Dragon's color changes according to its mood. For example: Camicazi'sStormfly turns a violet color when she lies. An angry Mood Dragon turns a deep blue-black, an excited Mood Dragon turns orangey-pink, and nervousness is a very pale green. When they get very angry, they tend to swell and puff up. They are not particularly vicious unless angered, but are generally self-centered and manipulative. They also appear very vain as well.
Mood Dragons sided with the Humans in the second Dragon Rebellion.
The hunting dragon of Camicazi, a Mood Dragon named Stormfly, makes her debut in this book. Toothless is very smitten with her. Stormfly helps guide the group through the library… although she’d say the opposite of the true way.
Information about the Mood Dragon species is discussed in this reference book, as well as appearing in the Dragon Key at the back of the book.
Trivia[]
