"Perhaps you ache for freedom

For the blue that's in your eye,

Was given as a present

From the fabric of the sky.

When part of what you're made of

Always wishes to return."

Smyrniff's Tree Dragon is a nocturnal flightless dragon, small in stature and seldom seen in the wild. Their size and dexterity enable them to subsist chiefly on songbird eggs, as well as various mushrooms and nuts. They have been known to approach bird nests carrying a nut to swap out for a similarly-sized egg, unbeknownst to the mother bird.

Approach the greater interpelagic dragon with care; often compared to the leviathan of ancient tales, this dragon is known to dine upon a variety of whales and large sharks, as well as the occasional scuba diver.
