Mood Dragons are beautifully majestic, empowering and iridescent multicultural dragons seen throughout the How To Train Your Dragon books.
Physical Appearance[]
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.
The Dragon Key in The Incomplete Book of Dragons indicates that Mood Dragons also have X-ray vision.
Behavior and Personality[]
A Mood Dragon's color changes according to its mood. For example: Camicazi's Stormfly 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.
