Shortwing Squirrelserpents and insects
Mood Dragon diet
Shortwing Squirrelserpents are nocturnal and eat insects in vast
quantities, mice, voles and bats. They are only scary because they
have a habit of accidently setting fire to forests while hunting.
Mood Dragons primarily eat fruit, but will also consume shoots,
leaves, flowers, seeds, bark. They also use their colour changing
ability to sneak up on invertebrates, and small vertebrates.

sunset.

The Skullion
Polar Serpents
The Skullion is one of the most vicious predator dragons. They
mainly eat Sniffer and Mood dragons, but will also eat Gronckles,
Vorpents and Raptortongues.
Polar serpents live in the North, basking like seals on flat icebergs.
Their beauty hides a cruel streak, a pack will even attack a polar
bear. While hunting, they ‘windsurf’ across the ice on their
tummies and can travel long distances.
 In a 5 hour hunt a gang of Skullions ate 300 smaller
dragons.
 Each hour they ate 5 fewer dragons than the previous hour.
