Moss dragons are small and mysterious creatures, not truly dragons but termed as such by most who see them. They dwell in forest pools and grow moss and algae on their scales, as well as occasional mushrooms.
While moss dragons can be vicious if they're in danger, they're not aggressive. If physically threatened, they can stand on their back legs to about 7 feet tall, and claw and bite their opponents. They often befriend and protect lone travellers through their area using their plant-control powers. Hooks: - A player character who becomes separated from their group in the woods might encounter a moss dragon, or perhaps a tangle of them, willing to assist them if they can co-operate. - A small child who has gone missing might have been found by a protective tangle of moss dragons in the woods. Tracking them to the pond will be difficult, and then convincing them that they mean no harm to their new child might make things more complicated. - A town wishing to expand needs to fell trees, which are in an area inhabited by moss dragons. The otherwise peaceful creatures start attacking loggers, and the town puts up a reward for anyone able to rid the forest of the creatures.
